Guard your irrigation from lightning. It’s easy.
Lightning protection isn’t optional. In large two-wire systems, especially in open areas like golf courses, sports fields and parks, lightning surges are a real threat to uptime and reliability.
Traditional protection works, but it’s costly, time-consuming and needs skilled labor. EasyGuard changes that. The decoder has heavy-duty lightning protection built right in.
With EasyGuard, there’s no need for separate surge devices, grounding rods or complex add-ons. Installation becomes faster, simpler, and more predictable — giving you reliable protection without the extra hassle.
Learn more on this page about the new EasyGuard Decoder — a solution set to redefine lightning protection in 2-wire irrigation systems.
The EasyGuard Decoder can withstand a surge hit of 30 kV on the 2-wire side, and 10 kV on the solenoid side – and does not need any grounding. Watch video:

Why the tradtional surge protection might not be ideal
Traditional lightning protection for decoder systems often means lots of grounding rods and plates. It’s expensive, tricky to install, and hard to get right.
Even when it is done by the book, connections can break over time – especially during repairs. That leaves systems exposed. Some smaller systems skip surge protection completely, but that’s a gamble.
And for bigger systems with many decoders, the cost and complexity quickly adds up. In short: the old way works, but it is more demanding – it takes more components, more installation time, and ongoing maintenance.
Crysberg continues to supply this proven solution worldwide, and many customers rely on it with confidence. EasyGuard simply gives you another option: the same reliable protection, but delivered in a way that’s easier to install, easier to maintain, and easier to choose.
No Grounding Required
EasyGuard decoders have built-in lightning protection, removing the need for expensive and complex ground rods or plates along the 2-wire field installation.
Lower Installation Costs
Traditional surge protection systems require extra components and labor. EasyGuard simplifies the setup, cutting installation costs by up to 20% in large systems.
Fewer Points of Failure
No need to rely on fragile or easily disconnected external surge protection. EasyGuard keeps the system protected even if individual components fail or repairs are made.
Scales from Small to Large Systems
Whether you’re installing 30 or 500 decoders, EasyGuard works across all system sizes — and eliminates dozens of external surge protection units in the process.
