New Trends for Water Conservation in Landscape Irrigation?

New products for water conservation have been introduced by some of the leading irrigation equipment manufacturers. We are constantly striving to improve the efficiency of our irrigation system designs, and in our design processes we explore and review new irrigation water conservation trends.

We would like to share some of the NEW TRENDS in water conservation. This page will feature a new conservation product every few weeks that exemplifies the cutting edge in landscape water conservation.

Our first featured product is the ET Manager from Rainbird.

Rain Bird® ET Manager

Rain Bird® ET Manager is a simple, powerful irrigation management solution works with virtually any controller, converting a conventional irrigation system into a weather-smart one. The ET Manager helps to maintain the optimum moisture balance in your soil. As the weather changes, your ET Manager receives updates automatically every hour and only allows your controller to water when needed. ET Manager technology is based on the Irrigation Association-endorsed, ASCE-standardized evapotranspiration (ET) equation, and includes data from all required climatic variables: solar radiation, temperature, wind, and humidity. An onsite rain gauge can be added for rainfall. The result – significant water savings, deeper root systems, and a healthier landscape.
