We recently asked our Water Resource Manager Chad Sutton, "How do we manage irrigation in California during the cooler, rainy winter months? Adjust it, turn it off completely?" His answer..."Call us and get set up with #WeatherTRAK smart controllers. With a rain sensor you don't have to do anything. It automatically turns off when irrigation is not needed and will apply small amounts of water over the winter when Mother Nature does not provide enough. If you're still running... old controllers they should be shut off after the first really big storm and turned back on in Spring when things dry out...not the best for the health of your plants. Irrigation can get left on too late into the season, wasting a lot of water and get turned back on too late when the zones have dried out too much." In other words...get smart and upgrade your irrigation today! Give us a call and see how we can help get you started! 866.266.6940 https://www.hydropoint.com//smart-irrigation-technology-d/ #irrigation #irrigationsystem #hydropoint360 #savewater #smartirrigation #winterizing #rainyseason2020 #landscapers HydroPoint 360 Smart Water Management National Association of Landscape Professionals

Hey all! It’s October and that means the new Lawn Sprinkler Regulations for California have been rolled out and are in full effect. What does that mean for you as our client? An up front cost increase of about $3-$5 per sprinkler body BUTthe cost will be offset by water savings within the first year! By adopting efficiency standards for landscaping and using highly cost-effective equipmentpressure-regulating technology pays for itself. Feel good about saving water & mone...y! #ThursdayThoughts #NALP #wiln #landscaping #landscapers #irrigation #irrigationsystem #sprinklersystem #sprinklers #water #savewater #savemoney #BayAreaBusiness https://www.nrdc.org//ca-sets-standards-new-lawn-sprinkler
