Smart Irrigation Controllers

Technological advances in the world of irrigation have made water management simple and more effective. “Smart” irrigation controllers use a combination of satellite technology and water conservation ideas to reduce outdoor watering by an average of 15 to 30 percent. Smart controllers use sensors and weather information to manage watering times and frequency. They also have the ability to turn off automatically during rain, high wind and low temperatures. Best of all rebates may be available through city and water municipalities for updating to a "smart" controller system. Consulting an irrigation contractor in your area with knowledge of your city's irrigation restrictions and subsidies may reduce your water usage and save you hundreds of dollars on installation costs.
