Instructions
Save up to 25,000 gallons of water!
There are many ways to save water – turn off the water when you brush your teeth, take shorter showers, and install a water-saving toilet, to name a few. However, correctly maintaining your sprinkler system and adjusting your sprinkler timer can save you over 25,000 gallons per year – more than all other water conservation efforts combined.
What it does
Using the Hydro-Rain Watering Schedule Calculator and the Hydro-Rain Catch Cups will help you optimize your system by identifying problem areas with low distribution uniformity. We then provide suggested run times that are optimal for your yard based on where you live, the type of soil you have, and your sprinkler system.
How it works
Place the Hydro-Rain Catch Cups in your yard and run your sprinklers for a set amount of time. The Hydro-Rain Watering Schedule application will ask you for your soil type, zip code, how long you ran your test, and the amount of water collected in each cup. Fill in the data, and you will receive a custom watering schedule to save water and money.
