Smart Sprinkler System Will Help Avoid Wasting Water

Sprinkler systems that work on a timer/schedule aren’t new. However sometimes such systems aren’t  very smart and could end up wasting water if not checked or managed properly. For example if it just rained an hour ago, does it make sense for your sprinkler system to go off? It doesn’t, right?

Not to mention there are places in the US like the state of California where they are experiencing a bit of a drought. Now if you’d like to keep your lawns fresh but not waste water, a company called ETWater might have the solution for you in the form of a smart sprinkler system which will only water your lawn when it thinks that it needs watering.

Basically the company’s smart sprinkler system will come with sensors and will also be able to pull data from local weather to determine when your plants need water, and exactly how much water they need. So like we said, if it has been raining chances are your lawn might not need as much water as it would if it had been sunny all week.

The system will also be able to take into account factors like whether it is placed on a sloped land, which also means that there will be water runoff. The company claims that its system will be able to reduce water consumption by as much as 50%. If you’d like to check it out and get one for your home, then head on over to ETWater’s website for the details.
