WATER CONSERVATION
IS GETTING TO BE MORE IMPORTANT THESE DAYS. THERE IS NO
REASON TO FEEL GUILTY ABOUT HAVING AND RUNNING YOUR LAWN
SPRINKLER SYSTEM, AS LONG AS YOU ARE NOT OVER RUNNING IT. IT
WILL SOON BE REQUIRED THAT ALL SPRINKLER SYSTEMS HAVE A
BUILT IN RAIN SENSORS. ALLSCAPE HAS BEEN INSTALLING RAIN
SENSORS ON EVERY INSTALLATION FOR THE LAST 12 YEARS NOW.
THE NEWEST TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE IS A CONTROLLER WITH A
WEATHER STATION INSTALLED IN THE YARD INSTEAD OF A RAIN
SENSOR. THIS DEVICE JUDGES EVAPOTRANSPIRATION RATE, SOIL
MOISTURE, TEMPERATURE, AND WIND.
THIS PLUS THE FACT THAT WE
PROGRAM EACH INDIVIDUAL ZONES SLOPE, SHADE, PLANT MATERIAL,
AND SOIL CONDITION, ALLOWS THE CONTROLLER TO REPROGRAM
ITSELF DAILY, TO PUT OUT ONLY AS MUCH WATER AS NEEDED IN
EACH AREA OF YOUR YARD. THE ADVANTAGES ARE THAT YOU WILL USE
ABOUT 50% LESS WATER, AND ACTUALLY HAVE HEALTHIER LANDSCAPE.
ALSO THERE IS NO NEED FOR SEASONAL ADJUSTMENTS OF YOUR
SPRINKLER CONTROLLER.
THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY IS ABOUT 500.00 MORE TO INSTALL THEN A
RAIN SENSOR BUT WILL PAY FOR ITSELF IN 1 TO 2 YEARS
DEPENDING ON THE PRICE YOU PAY PR GALLON OF WATER. FOR THOSE
OF YOU ON A WELL OR LAKE PUMP THE ADVANTAGE IS A GUILT FREE
SLIGHTLY HEALTHIER LANDSCAPE. |
