Question of the Week: Monsoon Rains and Irrigation Timers

Q: With all the rain we've had, I have an irrigation system on a timer. Is there anything I can purchase so my system won’t water unnecessarily when it rains?

A: Absolutely! You have a couple of great options:

Rain Sensor: This handy device automatically shuts off your sprinkler system once a certain amount of rain is detected. It's easy to install and can be found at your local irrigation supply or hardware store.

Smart Irrigation Timer: For a more advanced solution, consider a smart irrigation timer. These devices adjust watering based on rain, humidity, and temperature, and you can even control them with your smartphone. For this option, consult with an irrigation specialist at your local supply store.

Stay efficient and save water, no matter the weather!
