What Is a Smart Irrigation System?
Smart irrigation systems are completely different from a typical irrigation system. Instead of running on preset timers, smart irrigation technology monitors a range of factors such as:
From this information, your smart irrigation controller creates a watering schedule automatically. It gives your lawn the water it needs when it needs it, with almost no manual intervention and no human error. No more wasting water on a fixed schedule that ignores what's actually happening outside.
Types of Smart Irrigation Controllers
There are two main types of smart irrigation controllers, and the right one depends on your property.
Evapotranspiration (ET) Controllers
ET controllers calculate how much water your landscape loses to evaporation and plant use, then adjust the schedule to replace exactly that amount. They pull local weather data, including temperature, rainfall, wind, and solar radiation, and can reduce outdoor water use by around 20% compared to traditional fixed-schedule systems.
Soil Moisture Sensor Controllers
Soil moisture sensor controllers take a different approach. They measure the actual moisture content in the soil at the root zone and water only when the soil is dry enough to need it. Because they respond to real conditions in the ground rather than estimates, some studies have measured irrigation savings of up to 70% with soil moisture control. We help you choose the controller type that fits your landscape, soil, and budget.
How Will It Benefit You?
Did you know outside water use averages around 9 billion gallons each day? Most of that goes to landscape maintenance, and overwatering is one of the biggest culprits. A smart irrigation system lets you control exactly how much water you use, replacing inefficient preset timers with weather-based watering. Your lawn looks as good as ever without the waste.
Here's how smart it gets. Imagine a heavy storm hits your home. A typical system would keep running and water ground that's already soaked. A smart system reads local weather data through a wifi irrigation controller and adjusts on its own, so in a heavy rainstorm the sprinklers don't turn on at all. That's how a system like this saves you real water and money.
