Looking to Avoid Costly Callbacks? Install Hunter, the Callback Eliminator

If you’re in the business of installing and maintaining irrigation systems, keep this in mind: Callbacks can cost you more than you think.

It isn’t simply a matter of saving a few bucks on products or parts. Sometimes, it’s that bargain up front that ends up costing you more in the long run. Those costs come straight off your bottom line each time you have to go back to make things right.

In short, callbacks are a profit eater. They take up time when you could be generating or fulfilling new business orders. They cost you unnecessary wear and tear on your vehicles, not to mention higher fuel costs. They can lay ruin to your crew schedule before you know it.

Callbacks come under the category of NDG—no dollars generated. You can’t charge your customers for all that additional time you’re spending just to make things right. An occasional callback is an inconvenience. But when it becomes a big part of your crew’s daily routine, you’ll soon find it’s hard to run your business profitably.

Callbacks can also be a referral killer. After all, neighbors talk and business people don’t want to recommend someone who has to keep on coming back to get the job done right. Even worse, callbacks can cost you your professional reputation. When word gets out that you are always back on the job, who’s going to give you a recommendation?

Quality + Durability = Lasting Value…and Fewer Callbacks

So what’s the best way to avoid having so many callbacks in the first place? Install the products you can count on season after season, job after job. Do it right the first time—install Hunter, the quality leader in irrigation.

What makes Hunter products so reliable? More than anything else, it’s the combination of practices and philosophies that have made the full range of Hunter’s water-efficient products the top choice among thousands of irrigation professionals.

• Customers First- Always: With more than 250 patents and over 40 trademarks, Hunter’s leadership in innovation has resulted in a complete line of products designed to be both customer- and contractor-friendly. Hunter’s advanced controllers, for example, are intuitive and easy to understand. A non-volatile memory and superior surge protection ensure program information will never be lost during power outages or even the most intense lightning storms. Spray nozzles are color-coded for quick identification, and all of Hunter’s plastic valves use a single solenoid model, keeping inventory costs low and replacement easy.
• Designed, Engineered and Assembled On Site: Since the beginning, Hunter has prided itself on being the most vertically integrated manufacturer of irrigation products, while other manufacturers “farm out” the injection molds, production of molded parts and even assembly of sprays, rotors, and valves. In fact, most of the steel tooling, molding machines, manufacturing, and assembly machinery are also designed and built right on site by Hunter engineers.
• Extensive and Exhaustive Testing: No other irrigation manufacturer runs all of their products through as comprehensive a battery of tests, both before and during production. Each day, a sample batch of products is taken from production and subjected to tests that duplicate worst case conditions in the field, as well as “run to failure” durability cycles. Hunter has the industry’s most extensive on-site test facilities, with indoor and outdoor labs that help create products with unsurpassed levels of dependability. All products are also field-tested in a variety of different sites, in different conditions, throughout the world.
• Continuous Refinement: Hunter’s unmatched depth of engineering expertise means a team of engineers always looking to “one-up” the competition with new features to make installation and routine maintenance fast and easy, while ensuring a long service life that customers will appreciate.
• Low Warranty Rates: Hunter’s commitment to extensive testing and research has resulted in the company having some of the lowest warranty costs in the entire industry.

Taken all together, Hunter is quickly making product-related callbacks a thing of the past. Going back time and time again costs you time and money. Worst of all, it can cost you your good name.

So do things right from the start and install Hunter—a complete line of top quality rotors, sprays, valves, sensors and controllers backed by the most trusted name in the irrigation industry.

Just the kind of reputation you want when it’s your own reputation that’s on the line.
