July is Smart Irrigaiton Month

Smart Practices. Smart Technology. Smart Business.

Smart Irrigation Month is an initiative to increase public awareness of the value of water-use efficiency and grow demand for water-saving products, practices and services.

 

Focused on July, traditionally the month of peak demand in North America, the campaign is designed to:

  • Educate homeowners, businesses, growers and other users about simple ways to save money and water.
  • Encourage industry firms and professionals to promote smart irrigation practices and technologies to customers.
  • Help water providers minimize peak water use and reduce demands on infrastructure in their communities.
  • Reinforce the role efficient irrigation plays in providing real solutions to today's water challenges.

Greetings!

In this issue we'll focus on three of the easiest NEW ways to upgrade irrigation systems to use less water with Smart technology.

July is the month of peak water demand due to day length, temperature, and lack of rainfall. You'll learn why it's the ideal month to let Hunter Solar Sync (see June issue for Solar Sync info) or Irritrol's Climate Logic take control of the watering program all year.

Toro's Precision Nozzles (available for Hunter and Rain Bird pop-ups too) use a new H20 chip technology that use less water immediately upon installation.

Take a break and watch the videos on how these amazing new technologies can be smart for your business and the planet.

For simple, water saving, weather-following, automatic irrigation control, Irritrol® introduces the Climate Logic wireless weather system. Consisting of two components; a wireless transmitting weather sensor for installation outdoors and a receiver module to attach to the Irritrol controller. The system monitors weather data, transmits them to the module and then alters the controller's program based on the weather.
