A new high-tech control system enables contractors to control customers' irrigation systems from anywhere in the world.
Hydrawise from LWS is operated through a smartphone or tablet using an app available on iOS and Android, or through a web browser.
The controller uses a wireless internet connection to access real time data from local weather stations, and adjusts the watering schedule to suit the conditions.
The Hydrawise controller can be retrofitted to existing irrigation systems quickly and simply, enabling contractors to offer an efficient, effective managed watering and system management service to multiple customers in any location where they have internet access.
Once installed, the user-friendly interface provides a range of useful reports and information, including water usage and irrigation system faults, plus the controller can send an email or sms text if there is a problem. Simple adjustments can be made to the controller and schedule without visiting the site.
Customers have peace of mind from knowing that their irrigation is being managed accurately and efficiently. Plants and shrubs only receive the water they need, providing water savings of up to 50% compared to a controller with a fixed schedule.
