Your Sprinkler System Professionals

Do you want to save time, money, and natural resources?  Of course you do, who doesn't? In the past few years, there have been some amazing new products introduced in the irrigation market for both residential and commercial systems. The common theme among these products is that they aid in making your system run more efficiently.  Using these new products in conjunction with an automated sprinkler system will free up the time that you spend on manual irrigation, save you money by using less water, and make your lawn healthier by scheduling the irrigation of your lawn for the same time and equal amount of water each day. Below are a few of the available new irrigation products.

Solar Sync by Hunter® Industries

This is the newest water conservation product on the market. It is developed and marketed by Hunter Industries, one of the leaders in irrigation innovation. First off, it’ll save you 20% off your water bill. You may have heard of rain sensors that attach to your controller. They’ve been around for years and work great.

The Solar Sync senses rain… and so much more.                     

The way it does this is by measuring evapotranspiration (ET). ET is the amount of water lost from the soil through evaporation plus the plant’s water loss (known as transpiration), Weather conditions such as temperature, humidity, and wind, affect both the plant's rate of evaporation and transpiration.  ET is a fancy way of saying the different environmental variables that affect the amount of water your lawn needs to stay healthy. It takes into account sunlight, air temperature patterns, seasons, and regional weather characteristics. Best of all, it’s very sleek and incredibly affordable.

Fertile Earth

For those of you who use fertilizer or pesticide on your yard, this product is for you. Its function is to apply liquid fertilizer or pesticide as needed through you irrigation system. It’s a very easy and inexpensive way to beautify your yard and keep those pesky mosquitoes from interfering with your outdoor activities. We’ve already installed many and have heard nothing but positive feedback from those who use it.

Battery Operated Controller

New to the market this year is the battery-operated controller made by Hunter. This unit is just as versatile and easy to use as other products in Hunter’s line. It’s a great fit for homeowners who want to add zones to a garden, new landscaping, or anywhere else.
