Irrigation with more smarts
Hunter Industries' ET System uses evapotranspiration data collected on site to create an intelligent irrigation program for each watering day. The ET System relies on actual conditions at the irrigated site, as each one has all the sensors necessary for accurate, local ET readings and calculations. The system consists of a small weatherproof enclosure mounted near the irrigation controller and a small sensor mounted up to 100 feet away. The 6-lb. sensor can be mounted on a post, pole or wall. No external power wiring is needed for either device.
