How does the Weather Reach Receiver know how much water is in the ground?
By using real time weather data and site specific information Weather Reach Receivers use proven science to measure the amount of evaporation from the soil. This synthesized process is backed by decades of research and is proven to be very accurate. Let’s compare watering a landscape to filling the gas tank in a car. When the gauge reads close to empty, it is time to fill the tank. When soil moisture has depleted by evaporation, the Weather Reach Receiver allows the sprinkler system to fill the soil reservoir to ensure a healthy landscape, like filling the gas tank. A controller without Weather Reach technology may water whether the landscape needs it or not. By using this method of watering, your sprinkler system may water more frequently in the summer months, and less frequently in the spring and fall months since watering is now based on weather (which affects how much water evaporates from your soil). Weather Reach automatically adjusts throughout the year to keep the moisture leve
