Choosing a Control
System |
-
Manual system keeps
you in touch with your garden and it’s water
needs. You must decide each day if, when and how
much to water. You must be there when it’s time
to turn the system on and when it’s time to turn
it off. Studies show that people with manual
systems use less water than people with
automatic systems.
-
Semi-Automatic
systems, which work similar to a kitchen timer,
require you to turn the water on manually but
the system turns itself off at the end of the
time (or number of gallons) you set.
-
Automatic systems
are the most common type. They use an electronic
controller to do all the work for you.
Traditional automatic systems never forget to
water . . . even if it’s raining. Because we can
ignore automatic systems, studies show that
people with these systems use more water than
people with manual systems.
-
Smart
systems, which
are now affordable for residential use, add
sensors and/or telemetry to the controller to
adjust automatically for the day-to-day weather
changes in your garden. Studies show that Smart
controllers save a lot of water.
