WeatherHawk and AccuWater ET Irrigation Control

AccuWater is the ideal companion to a WeatherHawk weather station.

Let an Internet based Irrigation Controller manage your sprinkler system in harmony with the local weather conditions, saving you water, time and money. Using real-time weather data from your WeatherHawk, AccuWater calculates ET (Evaporation and Transpiration) and soil moisture in each sprinkler zone on an hourly basis. When the soil moisture in any sprinkler zone reaches the wilting point, AccuWater schedules that zone for replenishment. Your plants receive just the amount of water they need. ET irrigation management has been documented to save 30-50% on residential water use as compared to older timer regulated systems. You may not know it, but golf courses and municipal irrigation systems have used ET control for many years. You lawn can be as green as a golf course and you will still save water.

With AccuWater, your sprinklers may run nearly every day during the hottest days of the summer, and then not run for months at a time during the winter. The system self-adjusts every day based on calculated soil moisture and the rain forecast (from NOAA). AccuWater ensures that you never water just before or during a rainfall, and it will wait until the soil moisture has reached the wilting point before watering again. A timer based system will "water in the rain" and they require you to adjust them as the seasons change.

You can buy your AccuWater control with your WeatherHawk in the WeatherHawk Store. After your controller is delivered and you install it, configuration and management of your AccuWater system is a snap. You can do it over the Internet from anywhere using any popular web browser by going to the AccuWater web site (www.accuwater.com) to create an account, define your location, connect your controller, and then configure it. You can even elect to receive a daily email informing you about system activity. Online help is available throughout the web site.
