Water-Saving Devices for Your Irrigation System

Watering on a fixed schedule wastes more water than most homeowners realize, especially when the weather does not cooperate with the calendar. Spartan Irrigation installs a handful of smart devices that make an irrigation system work a lot more efficiently, cutting down on waste without sacrificing coverage anywhere on the property throughout the season.

Smart Controllers Adjust Watering to Actual Weather

A smart controller pulls local weather data and adjusts the watering schedule automatically instead of running on a fixed timer regardless of conditions. That means less water on days when rain is already doing the job, and a system that adapts to changing conditions throughout the season instead of running on autopilot all summer long.

Rain Sensors Stop the System From Running Needlessly

A rain sensor is a simple add-on that stops the irrigation system from running when it detects recent or ongoing rainfall. It is one of the most affordable upgrades available, and it prevents the frustrating and wasteful scenario of sprinklers running in the middle of a downpour or right after one.

Drip Irrigation Targets Water Where Plants Need It

Rather than spraying water broadly across an area, drip irrigation delivers it directly to the base of plants and garden beds where it is actually needed most. That targeted approach significantly reduces water lost to evaporation or runoff, which adds up quickly over a full watering season.

Soil Moisture Sensors Take the Guesswork Out of Scheduling

A soil moisture sensor measures how much water is already present in the ground and only triggers the system when it is actually needed that day. That precision prevents overwatering and underwatering, keeping the system running efficiently without guesswork or a rigid, fixed schedule.
