]]>While installing a smart sprinkler system for your lawn might seem superfluous, there are a surprising number of benefits that make a smart irrigation controller an item that should be at the top of every homeowner’s checklist.
#1 – They Help Save on Water
Any design or renovation that can help save on utility costs will end up paying for itself over time, and smart irrigation controls are no exception. In addition, when combined with an eco friendly driveway that uses clean, permeable gravel to enhance free water flow, smart technology can increase the efficiency of water use in a society that is increasingly conscious of eliminating waste and conserving natural resources.
There are times when your lawn simply does not need to be watered as much as you originally planned. Perhaps the weather has been cooler than expected due to extra cloud cover, or you got some unexpected runoff from a neighbor’s yard. Whatever the case, there will be times throughout the year when you simply do not need to water your lawn.
With traditional sprinkler controllers that have been programmed to turn on at certain times on certain days of the week, the process for skipping a cycle can be involved, with some people needing to call in assistance to turn off the sprinklers and then have the system re-programmed to get back on schedule. As such, most homeowners just ignore it and let their lawn get watered anyway.
By having an irrigation controller that is synched with your smartphone, skipping a sprinkler cycle is as simple as saying, “Alexa, pause the sprinklers.” With a smart irrigation system, inconvenience is no excuse for wasting water by running the sprinklers unnecessarily.
#2 – They Give You Increased Control of Your Irrigation
Sometimes, there are areas of the lawn that need more water than others. Using the previous example of receiving unexpected runoff from a neighboring yard, perhaps the lower half of your lawn is well watered from the runoff, while the upper half did not receive any.
Using your smartphone, you can open the app for your irrigation system and control which zones of the lawn you want watered while leaving the heads dormant on those areas that are sufficiently watered.
Another nifty feature that relates to sprinkler control is the ability to pause while you are walking outside. How annoying is it, with traditional sprinkler controls, to have to run from the front door of your house to your car because the sprinklers are spraying your path?
#3 – Your Smart Irrigation Control is Likely Smarter than You
Even though you can look at a road map and see the best route for getting to a destination, if your smartphone tells you that there is a wreck or road construction that will delay your travels, you are probably going to listen.
Likewise, even if you think you have your watering schedule down to a science, smart irrigation leaders like build their app with features that monitor the weather, select the best settings for the climate that your home is located in, and that can make suggestions for the type of vegetation you are growing, among others.
This is significant because if rain is forecasted, the sprinklers will not turn on, preventing a situation in which homes without an advanced driveway drainage system see flooding in their lawns that causes puddles to build up around their vehicles.

]]>Another reason why installing a sprinkler system is such a great idea is that it saves time and eliminates hassle. No more dragging that kinked up hose out into the yard or trying to remember to shut it off and move it to a new location on the property. Instead, you can just set the irrigation timer and go about your normal life. As a bonus, many newer digital systems even offer the opportunity to adjust settings from your smartphone, allowing you greater flexibility.
Let’s face it, if you’re looking to install a sprinkler system in your yard, you probably want your lawn to look nice. Having an automatic irrigation system is a great way to ensure your landscaping looks lush, even when the weather isn’t optimal for growth.

]]>Choosing the right sprinkler installer is an important decision. The company will design and install your automatic sprinkler system and will ensure the right components are used for each part of your landscape. The truth is, quality work comes with a price tag, and if a company’s quote seems too good to be true, it probably is. A complex sprinkler system that is permanently buried underground should be installed right the first time, so it isn’t something you should scrimp on.

]]>Rotors
Hunter made its reputation on the quality, reliability and innovative features found in its rotary sprinkler line and continues to set the benchmark by which other manufacturer’s rotors are judged. For spacings from 15 feet to 160 feet, you’ll find a Hunter irrigation sprinkler that meets your needs.
MP Rotator
Hunter’s MP Rotator is a revolutionary alternative to traditional sprinkler heads and pop up sprinkler heads that spray the landscape. MP Rotator nozzles feature unique, multi-trajectory rotating streams that deliver water at a steady rate. This slower application rate allows water to gently soak in at rates that soils can absorb. Use the MP Rotator to replace the sprinkler head on any conventional spray head body or pop up sprinkler for water savings of up to 30%.
Nozzles
Sprinkler nozzles, also referred to as spray nozzles, are an important, but often overlooked component of well-designed irrigation systems. The proper nozzle ensures accurate, even delivery of water in the pattern you need. Hunter offers an assortment of nozzle options for any lawn sprinkler system — adjustable, fixed, specialty nozzles, and revolutionary MP Rotator nozzles.
Spray Bodies
Spray bodies have many names: pop up sprinkler, sprinkler head, mist head, or sprinkler and they are the true workhorse of any irrigation system. Hunter has developed a lineup of rugged sprays bodies that are built to last, including the PS Ultra for residential needs and the Pro Spray®, for residential or commercial applications.
