When it comes to utilities like water and power, investing in efficient systems can have significant returns in the long run. Homeowners have plenty of options to boost efficiency within their homes, but many do not realize that opportunities for greater efficiency rest right outside. Wasteful irrigation systems can contribute significantly to excessive water and energy use, and inefficient systems can even result in things like drainage issues, water damage, and poor plant health. Fortunately, routine irrigation maintenance and a smart irrigation controller can help in the fight for reduced water consumption. Ensure that your irrigation system is delivering water precisely where, when, and how it should be by using your irrigation controller wisely and getting irrigation maintenance services from Sposato Irrigation.

Installing a Smart Irrigation Controller for Water-Saving Features

One of the easiest ways for homeowners to reduce their irrigation systems’ water consumption is to install a smart irrigation controller with water-saving features. Things like weather sensors, simple interfaces and scheduling, and smart home integration can help homeowners fine-tune their systems with ease. Weather sensors and forecasting features can help your irrigation controller determine when scheduled waterings may not be needed due to rain, wind, or freezing temperatures. Simple interfaces and smart home integration can help even the least irrigation-savvy homeowners stay on top of their watering regimens.

Be Water Wise with Any Irrigation Controller

While a smart controller can make things simpler, you don’t need all of the latest bells and whistles to make your irrigation system efficient. If a smart upgrade isn’t in your future (or you just prefer the straightforward appeal of a traditional irrigation controller), there are plenty of ways to optimize your system. Work with a team of irrigation professionals to ensure that your sprinkler system is divided into zones that make sense, and be sure to use any seasonal presets or water-saving functions that your irrigation controller may have. It may take more work without weather sensors, but it’s still a good idea to manually skip scheduled waterings in the event of rain, high winds, or freezing temperatures.

Consider Your Entire Irrigation System

To maximize efficiency, a holistic approach to your sprinkler system is likely necessary. All of the perks of a smart irrigation controller are worthless if your pipes are full of leaks.
