Save Water and Money With a Smart Controller

EwingIrrigationSmartController resized 600With the disruptions of needed rainfall across the country in recent months, it seems obscene to see sprinklers pouring out water during a shower. Smart Controllers avoid this pitfall. For example, Water sensors shut off irrigation equipment when enough water has been applied. While manual overrides can achieve the same result, rain sensors are another reliable method of eliminating redundancy or overwatering. Soil moisture sensors are still another option and will shut off the irrigation when the soil is moist and irrigation is no longer needed. Evapotranspiration (ET) controllers adjust run times by calculating the correct amount of water to apply, taking the guesswork out of programming watering times. Some ET controllers use broadcast or online-transmitted data based on current weather station information and adjust the watering program. Find out how Smart Controllers save you both water and money on this week's #landscapechat!
