Smart irrigation controller discount FAQs
Select a question from the list below:
What is a smart irrigation controller?
Smart irrigation controllers tailor watering schedules and run times on sprinklers and/or drip systems, automatically, to meet specific landscape needs. These systems use weather information or site conditions to determine how much water to apply and when to run. Once installed and set, little additional monitoring is required.
How much water can a smart controller save?
Studies show most smart controllers will save about 25% of the water applied by a traditional controller. In the Valley, about 70% of a household's water usage occurs outdoors.
Can I install it myself or do I need to have a professional landscape professional do it?
Smart irrigation controllers vary in their complexity. Installation requires some basic electrical knowledge and can be accomplished by most homeowners in about three hours. SRP will provide a list of licensed landscape contractors who can perform the installation if you prefer.
Will SRP provide training on how to install and program these controllers?
SRP provides workshops at the Water Conservation Expo for people purchasing the smart controllers. This year's workshops were held at the Expo in March. These workshops are mandatory for all participants who take advantage of SRP's discounted controller pricing that day.
Why was this smart irrigation controller model selected?
SRP selected a device that is relatively easy to install and program. This weather-based irrigation controller has been tested by Center for Irrigation Technology. Additionally, this model has been used in other community programs in the West.
How many stations can the selected smart irrigation controller model support?
SRP selected a device for this initial promotion that can support a maximum of nine stations, four programs and comes in a weather-resistant case that can be installed indoors or outdoors.
If I missed the DesertWise Water Conservation Expo in March, is there any way for me to get the controller at a discounted price after the event?
Unfortunately, we are only able to provide the training and discount at the Water Conservation Expo. Proper programming will ensure the most efficient operation of your smart controller over time. We will announce a date for an upcoming Expo soon.
Who can I talk to if I have any additional questions about the smart irrigation controller?
