- Protects Water Resources. By limiting the over use of your sprinkler system, rain sensors reduce excess water run-off that carries fertilizers and pest control chemicals into our shared water supply.

- Conserves Water. Less water is wasted when less supplemental water is needed for your turf and in your garden.

How much money can you save with a rain sensor device? It will vary based on your water source (city, re-claim, or well) and where you live (water costs, electrical rate, climate).

Here is one example that demonstrates the benefits listed above: Seminole County, Florida. System Description:

Intended to sprinkle a 1/4 acre of turf calibrated to precipitate a half inch" of water every time the system runs.

- This schedule would equal 6,788 gallons per irrigation cycle.

- This system (on City Water) pays $2.30 per thousand gallons.

- Every time the rains sensor interrupts a sprinkler cycle, you would save $15.61

According to a recent study in Florida, the use of a rain sensor device averaged a 45% savings in water for single-family residential water usage. The next time you see a sprinkler system running in the rain, you now know it doesn't have to be that way. Rain sensors are affordable solutions to conserving our water, protecting our water resources, and saving you money.
