Rain Sensors
Rain sensors in Florida have several important uses that make them necessary to smart irrigation systems. The purpose of an automatic shut-off device, like a rain sensor, is to control water flow to your sprinkle system. If rain is already watering the lawn, you obviously don’t need to. To be sure, your rain sensor turns off your sprinklers for a period of time so that you don’t need to do it yourself. Over time, rain sensors can conserve water and save you money on your power or water bill. This device can be installed by your local irrigation experts in less than an hour.

Backflow Prevention
Backflow controllers are installed at the head of your irrigation system. These devices stop possibly contaminated water from your irrigation system from leeching back into your household water and drinking water.

Soil Moisture Controllers
Soil moisture controllers are typically part of your smart irrigation system when you have flowerbeds. These sensors our place underground so that they can sense the amount of moisture at the root of your plants. As a smart controller, they can prevent overwatering of your plants. Also, they can save your plants during a drought when you are unsure of your plants moisture levels.
Each of these three devices can communicate with one another in order to make your system more efficient. Smart irrigation systems are not only necessary, many times they are required by law.
