Should I install a smart irrigation system?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

A smart irrigation controller replaces your existing timer and connects to Wi-Fi, adjusting watering schedules based on local weather data. It automatically skips watering when rain is forecast and adjusts for temperature, humidity, and soil moisture. This typically saves 20 to 50 percent on outdoor water use. Most models install in under an hour and work with existing sprinkler wiring. They are especially valuable during South Jersey summers when lawn watering significantly impacts your water bill. Check for utility rebates that can offset the cost.

Why It Matters

Outdoor watering accounts for nearly 30 percent of household water use. A smart irrigation system saves water, money, and keeps your landscape healthier.
