Over-watering, a form of inefficient irrigation, is the most common cause of plant stress and death, not to mention unnecessary water bills and runoff into storm drains. Water in Motion is experienced at incorporating new technologies so that irrigation systems operate in harmony each day with local weather conditions. Several technologies are particularly helpful in optimizing water use in irrigation.

Rain Sensors

Small devices wired into automatic irrigation systems
Overrides the watering cycle when rainfall is adequate
Minnesota law: irrigation systems installed after July 1, 2003, must have one

SMART (ET) Controllers

Acts as “the brain” controlling daily irrigation system operation
Unit electronically connected to data from local weather station
Unit adjusts watering times/frequency based on daily data feed from weather station

Moisture Sensors

Positioned in-ground, at root level
Wired to communicate with system controller
Provides daily data on soil/root moisture to help manage watering activity
