Better sprinkler control = a greener spring + more money in your wallet!
This holiday season, why not give yourself the gift of a better lawn this spring – and save money when doing so? The Rachio 3 sprinkler control system enables more efficiency within your automated sprinkler system. The Rachio 3’s increased control settings and advanced features for monitoring water usage are game changers when it comes to water conservation and lead to lower water bills and healthier lawns. And, Rachio makes it easier than ever to control a sprinkler system like a pro – directly from an app on your smartphone.
Since 2014, Rachio has helped homeowners save over 50 BILLION gallons of water!
Water-Saving Technology
Irrigation is among the leading causes of water waste in the United States. In fact, according to the EPA, approximately one-third of all residential water usage goes to landscape irrigation—roughly 9 billion gallons of water a day! The Rachio 3 was designed to help homeowners conserve this precious resource. While the efficiency of a sprinkler system depends on any number of factors, the controller plays one of the most crucial roles.
The Rachio 3’s user interface is relatively simple, but the controller is highly customizable, allowing operators to fine-tune watering schedules to meet the property’s exact needs. The first step toward eliminating water waste is pinpointing how much water each zone needs to keep lawns and landscapes hydrated and healthy. The Rachio 3 collects that information and uses it to ensure that water is distributed efficiently and accurately every day, in every weather condition, in every season.
The Rachio 3 can also skip waterings when soil is still adequately saturated, preventing overwatering and runoff.
Weather Monitoring and Seasonal Adjustments
The Rachio 3 automatically skips watering sessions when the soil is adequately saturated, which prevents waste and harmful overwatering. Its capabilities go beyond simply delivering the right amount of water each day. The Rachio 3 closely monitors real-time weather conditions, making it a powerful tool for saving water. The controller is connected to a massive network of weather stations, providing it with the most accurate weather information available. The controller can then automatically delay or skip watering sessions in the event of rain, high winds, or freezing conditions, saving customers from having to remember (or inevitably forget) to shut the system off.
Just as the seasons change, so must watering schedules. The watering needs of turf and plantings vary based on the season. The Rachio 3 automatically makes adjustments to zones throughout the property, ensuring that each one receives the exact amount of water needed—spring, summer, and fall!
Unmatched Convenience
The Rachio 3’s handy mobile app makes utilizing every feature of the controller simple. Adjustments can be made from a mobile device and sprinklers can be stopped and started in an instant from anywhere.
The app also monitors a system’s water usage, showing how much water the Rachio 3 saves homeowners. When the controller automatically skips or delays watering, the app delivers a notification. As an added bonus, the Rachio 3 can detect possible leaks within a system and alert the homeowner. A single leak can waste an enormous amount of water and make for an equally enormous water bill! Quick detection not only saves water and money but also prevents potential damage to lawns, landscapes, and gardens.
