DOES IT SAVE WATER? YES AND NO
- Yes (If the System is Efficient): If your irrigation system has minimal leaks and provides uniform water coverage, smart irrigation can precisely apply the needed amount of water, leading to significant conservation.
- No (If the System is Inefficient): Most irrigation systems have inefficiencies (leaks, poor coverage). In these cases, you often have to overwater to ensure all plants receive enough moisture, negating the potential water savings from the weather data.
- Inefficient Watering Example: Using a hose in the middle of the lawn leads to overwatering in the center and potentially not enough water at the edges, plus runoff.
- Efficient Watering Example: Properly functioning sprinkler heads with uniform coverage can water the lawn effectively in a much shorter time with no runoff.
Smart Irrigation System Costs
Aqua Trac System has installed hundreds of commercial Smart Controllers. The cost of a commercial smart controller typically ranges from $1,500 to $12,000 each, while non-smart controllers range from $200 to $1,000. Major manufacturers like Toro and Rain Bird are often used for these installations. Aqua Trac System has successfully implemented these systems for golf courses, hospitals, municipalities, homeowner associations, and most commercial facilities.
