Solar Sync Makes It Easy to Upgrade to Smart Control 
 
Increasing water costs have driven demand for water conserving products to a whole new level. One component is "smart" controllers that adjust watering schedules based on actual weather conditions. Hunter offers a complete line of water conserving solutions, including Solar Sync.
 
The Solar Sync is an evapotranspiration (ET) system that calculates plant watering requirements and adjusts Hunter controllers daily based upon on-site weather conditions. It measures sunlight and temperature, and uses ET to determine the correct seasonal adjustment percentage value to send to the controller. The controller then uses its programmed run time and Solar Sync's seasonal adjustment value to modify the actual irrigation run time for that day.  
 
Since Solar Sync uses onsite weather measurements, there are no costly data fees for clients to pay.   Watch the video to see all of the benefits.

New Video Series from NDS Helps You Calculate Drainage

NDS provides contractors with the most informative tools in the drainage industry
 
NDS has created a video series that has been designed to take the contractor through three crucial steps to fix drainage problems:
  • Identify current or potential drainage problems
  • Calculate how much runoff water you need to plan for
  • How to identify and properly size a solution that will work for you.
In an upcoming six-part series, the NDS resident civil engineer, Dr. Drainage, walks you through how to calculate runoff, store runoff, size your catch basin and determine what drain pipe to use. Click here to see the full series on YouTube.
  
In addition to these videos, NDS has created a series of online calculators that make it easy for contractors to plug in information from their jobsite and it helps you calculate drainage for your dry well, French drain, and drain pipe.
