Modern irrigation systems do more than just water your plants - they optimize every drop. Here's how to upgrade your watering strategy.
Soil moisture sensors prevent watering when rains have already done the job. Paired with smart controllers, they can reduce water use by 30-50%.
Drip irrigation delivers water directly to plant roots with 90% efficiency compared to 50-70% for sprinklers. New models self-clean to prevent clogging.
Flow sensors detect leaks and broken lines immediately, potentially saving thousands of gallons. Some systems can even shut off automatically when problems occur.
Weather-based controllers adjust schedules using local forecast data. The most advanced models learn your landscape's unique needs over time.
