The following testimonials are from Dallas and San Antonio. San Antonio has some of the State’s toughest restrictions and heaviest fines. Because of this, San Antonio has some of the most effeciently run sprinkler systems in the state and they are still seeing 20% savings!
“The guesswork is gone. As a property manager,
I am very concerned about the health of
the landscape. We were getting letters because
we were using too much water in the summer.
Then we switched to [the Rainstat Controller] and the change
has been dramatic. [The Rainstat] cycles the irrigation
so that water percolates to the root zone
and keeps the plants looking great, even in a
Texas drought. Water savings average 22% a
year and are even greater when you factor in
the rising costs of water.”

“We oversee landscape irrigation at the Alliance
Business Parks, where more than 30 [Rainstat]
control systems have been installed. It’s been a
very easy retrofit because the irrigation system
does not need to be disturbed.
“Our goal is to use water wisely and [the Rainstat
Controller] helps us achieve that. [Rainstat’s] on-site
weather stations accurately read weather conditions
and can adjust the irrigation daily. This is
a big advantage over other systems that rely on
weather stations located miles away.”
Barney Herl, Manager

“[The Rainstat Controller] has eliminated on-going battles
with the landscape crew over resetting the clock
every season. When the weather changes, it
automatically readjusts the schedule. It’s like
having a meteorologist on hand! And [the Rainstat
Controller] kept the grass green throughout the summer
drought. It “banks” water during omit
times and knows how much to apply during water
days. ‘Cycle and run’ is an extremely efficient
method of irrigation, especially with black
clay. We’ve seen a 40% savings in water!”

“Our common area landscaping looks terrific!
We switched over to [the Rainstat Controller] more than a
year ago when water restrictions were enacted.
The system performed exactly as we had hoped
and helped us save 40% on water costs, plus it
eliminated a run-off problem we had on entry
berms. We’ve become more water-wise and
see immediate benefits in ‘smart irrigation.’”
