Smart Irrigation Begins With a Smart Controller

• July 29, 2025 | Category: Water Efficiency

Residential outdoor water use in the United States accounts for more than 9 billion gallons of water each day, mainly for landscape irrigation. Experts estimate that as much as 50 percent of this water is wasted due to overwatering caused by inefficiencies in irrigation methods and systems. Current irrigation control technologies can significantly reduce overwatering by applying water only when plants need it.

A smart irrigation controller not only knows when to water, but also how much to water, based on local weather conditions. This reduces water waste and hopefully your water bill as well. By replacing an old standard sprinkler timer with a WaterSense-labeled smart controller, the average household can save an estimated 8,800 gallons of water annually.
