Dallas, Texas (CaymanMama.com) — Saving water is hard to do, even during these dry summer months when all you want to do is lay in a rush of cool droplets.
However, for most with sprinkler systems, saving water is a delicate balance. The solution is easy if you simploy visit a local hardware store and purchase a moisture or rain sensor for your outdoor sprinklers.
Moisture sensors send the message to sprinklers to turn on only when the surrounding soil is dry, and can save up to 40% of outdoor water use, while rain sensors turn off sprinklers when it rains (saving up to 10%).
The best part about it is that those savings will surely show up on the next water bill.
Try these:
*Nelson EZ Pro Moisture Sensor - reads soil moisture and other factors, and waters as needed; installs beneath the lawn ($250).
*Toro Wireless Rain Sensor - rain sensor allows user to choose when sprinklers should turn off based on rainfall; ($48).
