Sprinklers And Automation To Make Your Landscaping Irrigation Systems More Efficient

Today, connectivity and automation is everywhere; even in some of the places you may least expect it, such as in irrigation systems. You may be wondering how automation can help with your sprinklers. The answer is simple; automation is a great way to conserve water and save energy. Here are some of the ways you may want to automate your landscaping irrigation systems:

1. Weather Stations That Connect to Computer Networks for Better Irrigation Data

Weather stations are features that are valuable additions to irrigation systems. With the data from a weather station, sprinkler controls will be able to decide the best times to water plants using local data and data that is collected from the Internet. The weather station will be able to connect to a local network or the Internet to use available information like forecasts, which will help to determine the best times for water and when irrigation is not needed for example, due to a weather forecast of expected rain.

2. Drip Irrigation and Automated Systems from Rain Collection and Grey Water

To make your landscape watering more efficient, drip irrigation systems can be used. Drip irrigation solutions will use a lot less water than conventional sprinklers. With the drip systems, you will also be able to connect irrigation to rain collection or grey water recycling systems that help to conserve even more water. These systems can be automated, or they can be connected to manual systems that you operate on your own.

3. Smart Controls That Collect Data and Automatically Program Watering for Landscaping

Smart controls are another solution that is often used with irrigation systems today. Smart control systems will be able to collect date from many different resources, such as weather stations or the internet. In addition, the controls can also be connected to sensors that measure the ground and soil conditions. With modern controls, you will be able to separate your landscaping into different zones to adapt different areas to specific needs. If you have some areas with shade and others with direct sunlight, the smart irrigation controls will be able to adapt to the various watering needs of plants in these different areas.
