What is Smart Irrigation?
Smart Irrigation promotes healthy and attractive landscaping by improving watering efficiency with new “Smart” technologies such as smart irrigation controllers and rotating sprinkler nozzles.


Smart Irrigation Controllers 

The latest innovation in irrigation is the smart sprinkler controller, a device that gives your plants the right amount of water for the time of year, climate and weather.

With Smart Controllers installed on your property, you will be able to avoid over-watering and excessive run-off by scheduling the amount of irrigation based on the type of landscape and current weather.

Rotating Sprinkler Nozzles

Shea Homes in Temecula

The latest innovation in sprinkler technology are nozzles that turn a standard sprinkler head into a precision device that can water your landscape better using 20 percent less water. 

These nozzles shoot multi-trajectory, rotating streams that apply water more slowly and uniformly than conventional sprays and rotors - especially when adjusted for specific site conditions.

In addition to reducing water use, the water jetting from these nozzles is more resistant to wind, less likely to mist, and significantly reduces run-off on to streets and sidewalk.

Advantages of Combining Technologies



By installing smart controllers and rotating nozzles, you protect your investment while improving the health and look of your landscape.
 

Smart irrigation controllers work on a simple principle:  provide the appropriate watering schedule; adjust for weather changes; irrigate based on the needs of your landscape to conserve water while keeping your landscape healthy and green.

Rotating nozzles compliment that simple principle.  Rotating nozzles for pop up spray heads apply water much more slowly and uniformly than conventional spray nozzles, allowing the water to soak into the ground instead of running off.
