Sprinkler Timer

Control. Do I really need to spell it out much more than that? In fact, I probably should, because the new controllers on the market are really shaping up to be an important upgrade for irrigation. Some examples…

Imagine you have an older timer that programs your sprinkler zones for M W F & Sun. Ideally, you wouldn’t go back to back on Monday and Sunday but there isn’t a simple ‘even/odd’ days setting. The new controllers along with many other features often do.

Imagine walking around your lawn and noticing an area that isn’t as healthy as the rest of your lawn. Pull out your phone and run a quick manual setting for 1 minute on the zone that covers that section of lawn. Yes, you read that correctly – FROM YOUR PHONE! No more going into the box in the ground and trying to remember which valve goes to which zone. No more going all the way to the garage and running a manual program there. With your wifi enabled controller & installed controller app on your phone, you can troubleshoot your lawn right where & when you spot the issue. Now the time you save can be spent doing something far more important than troubleshooting your lawn.

Ok, last example… 

Imagine having a controller that detects problems for you. You can notify me when and on what zone it’s happening. And that’s not all. If it’s a programming or water rate issue, I can fix it from my own office. No need to drive across town and rack up unnecessary fees for visits that aren’t needed.

This is an especially nice solution for those of you that want to maintain irrigation on rental properties you want looking their best. Whether it’s an Airbnb, Vrbo or some other rental scenario, this will give you another set of irrigation-expert eyes on the system keeping your property looking like it’s listing photo.
