The WaterSense Label
In the United States, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) gives the WaterSense Label to certain products that go through a strict third party testing process which determines their eligibility according to strict criteria. Specifications for this category stipulate that use of the device must result in a reduction in water use by at least 20%. That’s a significant amount.

We’re pleased to pass along the news that both Rainbird and Toro received such designations this summer for their state of the art irrigation components.

Rainbird & Toro
Rainbird received the award for its lines of SST Smart and ESP-SMT irrigation system controllers which base their scheduling on actual weather readings. The Rainbird system was designed as a less complicated and less costly version of the systems it currently uses for large projects like parks and golf courses, to give homeowners a precise yet easy to use residential sprinkler system. The system uses data on soil type, lawn slope, sun exposure and other conditions to create a customized watering schedule that responds to changing weather.

The WaterSense Label  was also recently given to Toro’s XTRA SMART ECXTRA irrigation timer and wireless weather sensor, which also use weather sensing technology to adjust the watering schedule according to current conditions.

With an automatic irrigation system, the temptation is always there to simply set it up once at the beginning of the season and then leave it at those levels. Certainly, everyone’s schedule is so busy these days, so reacting to changing weather right away may well be impossible. These weather sensing systems will do that for you and result in minimal waste. They can also make allowances for local water restrictions (i.e. watering on specific days). There’s no need to adjust for wet or dry months or run to turn it off when it rains unexpectedly.
