Charlotte Irrigation Company Provides Smart Control Systems for Homeowners

With mounting water-use regulations and the Charlotte area having recently recorded the worst drought in its history, the days when Charlotte homeowners could overlook water inefficiency are long gone. With more droughts and restrictions likely in the future, now is the time to start using water conservation methods.

Irrigation & Lighting Specialist, Charlotte’s premier irrigation installation company, offers installation of Rain Bird® ESP-SMT Smart Control Systems. These systems combine the proven simplicity of the Extra Simple Programming (ESP) controller with the accuracy of weather-based control, creating an innovative system that is engineered to save valuable time, money, and water. With concerns over water conservation on the rise, this can provide an invaluable tool for Charlotte homeowners.

“The ease and speed with which you can program your specific lawn is remarkable,” says John Minor of Irrigation & Lighting Specialist. “You simply put in a few key variables, like your zip code, allowed watering days, and the plant or soil type for your lawn, and the ESP-SMT system does the rest.”

Instant Rainfall Shut-Off

The ESP-SMT system outsmarts other Smart Controllers. Most Smart Controllers simply suspend irrigation when it rains, regardless of the amount of the rainfall. ESP-SMT systems, on the other hand, are smart enough to account for rainfall. These systems measure instantaneous rainfall data, determining effective rainfall and calculating a net replacement value. Unlike other Smart Controllers, the ESP-SMT system knows exactly how to adjust your watering schedule, preventing under or over watering your lawn.

“With the ESP-SMT systems, you’re able to achieve maximum water conservation because the system accounts for actual rainfall rather than simply suspending the system if it detects any rainfall at all,” says Minor.

Other Weather Sensor Features

The smart, weather sensor features don’t stop there. Below are a few of the other weather sensor features offered by the ESP-SMT system:

• Removable debris screen ensures accurate rainfall measurement.
• Adjustable, heavy-duty mounting bracket allows for easy leveling.
• Solar shield protects temperature sensor from reflective heat.
• Removable tipping rain bucket measures effective rainfall.
