Greetings!

Happy July 4th!   All Urban Farmer stores are closed Sunday July 4 to observe Independence Day. All stores are open regular hours on Saturday, July 3 and Monday July 5. We all wish you a happy and safe holiday!

July is Smart Irrigation Month.    We're supporting this important initiative with the latest smart products and knowledge that can help you dramatically improve irrigation efficiency.
 
Many of the irrigation systems installed over the last 20 years are now considered obsolete.  They waste water with inefficient sprinkler heads, poor uniformity and poorly managed timer controls.  
 
By applying smart practices and new technology, you can reduce their water bills and be more eco-friendly in your watering habits.  
 
Learn how you can benefit from Smart Irrigation Month all year long in this month's update.

Supreme UV Clarifiers Keep Water Clear Without Toxic Chemicals
Prevent ugly algae, enjoy a beautiful water feature

Algae bloom can literally turn a pond green after just one day of bright July sunshine.
 
There is no need to tolerate pea-soup pond water when you can do away with algae bloom once and for all by installing an ultraviolet water clarifier.
 
Also called pond clarifiers, sterilizers, and "UV's" for short, kill free-floating plantonic algae to clear up your pond or fountain water and keep it clear without using chemicals that could harm birds, wildlife, amphibians, or fish.
 
Supreme submersible Ultraviolet Clarifiers feature the glowing monitor halo ring that immediately shows it's working.
 
Supreme is the only company that offers a submersible UV, and it can also be placed outside of the pond. The black color makes it unobtrusive wherever it's used. Visible during the day and night from any angle, the soft blue halo shows it's working, but does not detract from the beauty of your pond.
 
Designed to handle the clarifying needs of ponds up to 6,000 gallons. These lights offer great value, along with ease of use unsurpassed by any other ultraviolet sterilizer.
 
Look for these submersible lights-they're what every pond needs.UL listed to U.S. and Canadian safety standards. Available is 10, 20 and 40 watts (Supreme Submersible UV)
 
The unique vortex flow design of the Ultraviolet Clarifier increases water contact time with the ultraviolet light, while the slim diameter lamp allows  the water to get closer to the intense UV rays.

NEW Solar Sync Compatible Hunter Controllers
Weather-based system adjusts automatically to save water

Solar Sync
New Solar Sync compatible controllers from Hunter will save up to 30% on summer water bills.

Plus you can save up to 20% on your purchase of a X-Core or I-Core controller together with Solar Sync!

Hunter's XC controller, the entry-level product in their popular controller line, is now called X-Core.

Compatible with the revolutionary Solar Sync ET sensor, X-Core can be converted to a Smart controller with advanced water conservation technology, regulating irrigation run times based on locally measured weather. Now smart, weather-based control is available in every Hunter controller category (AC powered).  And with the optional SmartPort, X-Core works with all Hunter remotes, such as the ROAM and ICR, making installation and maintenance even simpler.

X-Core maintains all the innovative features of the XC, such as a 365-day calendar, three independent programs (each with four start times), global seasonal adjustment, and station-controlled sensors that made the XC a blockbuster product. With Easy Retrieve memory backup and on-board, non-volatile memory, X-Core provides the assurance to recall all the controller's watering programs. The X-Core is a running change to the XC controller product line.
