Water
Efficient Irrigation Products - the majority of
irrigation systems are utilizing basic water delivery methods.
These methods and products do deliver water but they are limited
to there design; manufacturer's have recognized this over the
past couple of decades and have developed tools and
products that can be from 5-60% more efficient. Examples of
these products are:
Pressure Regulating Devices - 6-8% reduction for
every 5 psi lowered (IE. 60 psi operating system lowered to 30
psi for a spray or mister head is a water savings of 36 to 48%).
High Efficiency Nozzles - 25%+ reduction for
providing uniformed distribution and by reducing over-spray.
Weather-Based Control Systems - 20-50% reduction in
water use due to automatic adjustments, with the irrigation
schedules based on climatic and environmental conditions.
