2020 has brought above-average amounts of rainfall for the year-to-date, which can lead to unnecessary watering for people who lack rain shut-off devices on their sprinkler systems. The irrigation industry has developed numerous products and technologies to help consumers and communities conserve water and irrigate only when necessary. In today’s blog post, we will explore some of these technologies and products to educate readers about the ways in which they can help people use less water and reduce their water bills.

Homeowners and HOAs who have grown tired of seeing their sprinkler systems running during significant rainstorms can contact leading sprinkler repair boynton beach companies to learn more about rainswitches, rain sensors and other such products. The type of system the customer has will determine the type of device they can install to prevent unnecessary watering. An indexing valve set-up with a mechanical clock will require a wired rainswitch, while a low-voltage digital system can typically use a wireless rainswitch. Customers can also speak with licensed sprinkler contractors in the area about “smart” controllers, which can automatically adjust watering cycles according to the weather.

Water Conservation

Drought and Growing Demand Make Water a Valuable Commodity

With large areas of the country, like California and Texas, enduring extreme droughts, it has become more important and logical for consumers and property owners to take steps to conserve water and reduce their water usage. Some municipalities across the United States have offered incentives to homeowners and citizens to get them to install water-saving devices and systems that reduce water usage, like rebates, tax breaks and variances from water restrictions. Growing demand for water across the country has stretched resources thin.
