How can a rain sensor work with irrigation timers for water conservation?
A. Plants need more water in summer than during the spring or fall, therefore program your irrigation timer accordingly rather than always keeping the timer on the same setting. By doing so will promote water conservation, as will watering at the right time of day and overriding irrigation timers with rain sensors. The time of day you irrigate is a huge factor in conserving water. If you program the timers to run early in the morning, you will lose less water to evaporation. We do not recommend watering during the heat of the day. For optimal water conservation, we strongly recommend we install a rain sensor. A rain sensor is tied into your automatic system, which allows them to shut down after long periods of rain, without the need to override the system manually, which in turn saves you money on your water bill.
