ValleyCrest partners with Weathermatic
23 Jul, 2010 i-newsDALLAS — ValleyCrest Landscape Cos. has selected Weathermatic as a preferred provider for smart, or weather-based, irrigation controllers. Weathermatic’s SmartLine irrigation controllers act as a “thermostat for the landscape” and help companies solve landscape irrigation water use issues.
Smart controllers adjust irrigation watering times based upon actual weather conditions — for example, watering less when cloudy and cool and more when warmer and drier. By appropriate application and management of smart controller technologies, in combination with other water management practices including drought tolerant plantings, use of drip irrigation, hydrozoning, and stormwater management techniques, ValleyCrest can make significant differences in the amount of water used on the properties it services.
Smart irrigation is gaining in popularity for many reasons: It reduces water bills for property owners, improves plant health, minimizes water-related damage to roads, sidewalks, and other site elements. Studies show that without proper water management systems in place, a property typically is overwatered by 30 percent.
