Water conservation has not only become an accepted global responsibility, but also a fiscal necessity! As water costs increase, it becomes more important to carefully manage this resource. With so many different sources telling you how to water, finally there is one authority to guide you. Our scheduling algorithms are based on solid methods of water management. 

To Save Money...
Just as with other utilities in your home, your water use needs to be managed. We carefully set thermostats to gain the most efficient use of gas or oil to balance cost with comfort, shut lights off and monitor appliances to eliminate electric waste. But what about water, especially irrigation?

For A Healthy Lawn...
While it's important to manage the cost, the health of lawn depends upon efficient scheduling as well. A great many service calls are generated by inadequate water management, rather than mechanical failure. "It's too wet" or "It's too dry" are common complaints that are generally solved by expert reprogramming of your controller. Such changes are driven generally by weather conditions. But the weather is constantly changing, how can you keep up? How much is too much? How little is too little?

What to do?
To truly manage your lawn's irrigation needs, your controller should be updated weekly. You could contact a professional to return to your home each week to adjust the program, but this would be an unreasonable way to mange your water use. Wouldn't it be nice to know what to set your controller, without the cost of a service call or spending hours becoming an "expert"?

How it works...
Our waterWatch program is the answer! Since any sprinkler system is made up of many different zones which vary based upon types of sprinklers and conditions, waterWatch produces a custom schedule for each zone which is updated based upon these factors and the current conditions. We do a custom audit of your system and enter specific water requirements for each zone. Then, throughout the season, weekly, you will receive automated email updates as to when to update your schedule corresponding to the current local conditions. You can also login to your account anytime to view your recommended schedule or even access your controller's operating instructions. Your zones, complete with types of sprinklers, soil and exposure conditions, base running times and recommendations are displayed in an easy to understand format. All you need to do is simply update your controller based upon the custom recommendations.

The Manual Project
Posted: LSN @ November 26 2007 12:58pm
LSNs avatar With a recent renovation/upgrade of the LSN site, we now have the ability to allow LSN members to upload files to selected directories. With this new feature and in keeping with the goal of LSN and the spirit of the internet, we've launched 'The Manual Project'.

Many of the most recent lawn sprinkler products available, have documentation available via the net. However it's the older stuff out there, that is still in working order, about which information is hard to come by. That's why you'll see some names that may not sound too familiar, like Aqua-Dial or Saf-T-Lawn. We have a substantial archive of documentation concerning equipment going back as far as 40 years! As time warrants, these are being scanned into PDF format and uploaded.

PDF's are the preferred format, so if you have something you'd like to share -stick it out there! Because there is so much overlap between manufacturers, (Hardie > HydoRain> Irritrol > Toro, for example), members can post comments on a particular download to help others specify if a model is the same as another from a different manufacturer. In the end the mission is to create an easy to navigate, one-source library/archive of turf irrigation manuals, instructions, and operational documentation related to lawn sprinkler equipment.
