What's the latest in irrigation system efficiency products? Wireless soil sensors! These sensors are placed in each irrigation zone and they measure moisture and temperature at the root level. Information is transmitted in real time 24 hours a day to a base station that works in conjunction with the existing irrigation controller.
The base station determines when your grass and/or plants have reached their optimum moisture level in each zone. The soil sensors' accurate information only allows the watering the plants need. This means a reduction in wasted water and possibly your water bill!

Irrigation Water Audits Atlanta

Irrigation Water Audits are an excellent way to find out the efficiency of an irrigation system and what changes can be made to increase the efficiency and thereby, save money. A full water audit requires extensive knowledge, not just of irrigation, but of irrigation efficiency products. Many commercial irrigation customers find that the audit and irrigation system upgrades pay for themselves in less than 2 years.

With rain in the forecast, we thought this was a good time to remind you that you don't have to manually cut off your system each time there is rain expected. If you have a rain sensor on your irrigation system, which has been required by law since 2005, it will take care of that for you. It's an inexpensive way to ensure that your irrigation system is doing what's its supposed to - supplementing the rainfall.

New Irrigation Systems Altanta

Thinking about a new irrigation system for your new landscape? Be sure that your irrigation company not only looks at the landscape plan but checks out the property to gain knowledge of site conditions (slope, soil, etc.) as well as checking your static water pressure and flow rate. Failing to check all these things before installing a new irrigation system could result in an inefficient, water-hogging sprinkler system.

Irrigation Systems Atlanta-Soil Sensors

Did you notice your irrigation system running even after all of the rain we just had? Soil sensors can eliminate over-watering and reduce your water bill. They also typically work well with existing systems. These wireless sensors are placed in the ground at root level in each sprinkler zone. They measure soil moisture and temperature day and night. The measurements are transmitted to a base station which is connected to the irrigation system controller. When the soil has adequate moisture (whether from rain or from the irrigation system) the sensors will restrict the system from watering in that zone. Wow-now that's what I call getting to the "root" of the problem!

Do you have an new irrigation system and have you noticed an increase in your water bill since having it installed? Water rates vary from county to county and the differences can be anywhere from slight to phenomenal. This will depend largely on the frequency with which you water your lawn but also the duration of those watering times. The irrigation company that installed your system should be up to date on efficent watering practices plus be able to offer you some inexpensive money-saving solutions. Ask about things like adjusting the frenquency and length of watering times or installing check valves in rotor and sprayers. Sometimes its the simplest adustments that can get some cash back in your pocket.
