How much water and money can be saved by using a Mini-Clik?
This will vary based on climate and how much water is applied through irrigation. If you know the water costs in your area and how much water is being applied per watering cycle by the whole system, then you can calculate the savings for each time the Mini-Clik interrupts the irrigation cycle. In general, in a temperate climate with average rainfall, savings are substantial. As an example, consider a system that irrigates acre of turf and is set to apply 3/16″ of water per cycle. Volumetric calculations determine that 2500 gallons of water are consumed per cycle. Using a water cost of $1.96/thousand gallons, the cost is $4.90 for the 2500 gallons. Therefore, every time the Mini-Clik prevents sprinkling for one cycle, $4.90 and 2500 gallons of fresh water are saved.
