Irrigation Retrofitting: Save Water, Save Money
Promoting efficiency and effectiveness
Thinking about spring? Now is the time to promote efficiency and reliability by thinking about retrofitting, too. Prepare the irrigation systems on client properties for spring by updating controllers and sprinklers, and replacing nozzles or sprinkler bodies, to create more efficient and effective systems. Help your clients to save water — and save money on their water bills.

Help your clients to save water — and save money on their water bills.Water efficiency and effectiveness mean using the right amount of water at the right time, and reducing water runoff and waste. Installing newer, more efficient parts will help clients to avoid repeated service visits on aging systems.
Many areas have mandatory watering restrictions, which increase awareness of water sustainability. Additionally, some cities offer rebates to residents who are conserving water. Check to see if rebates on high-efficiency nozzles and other water-conserving technologies, or reducing water consumption are available in your area.
Over time, the savings on water bills and maintenance, combined with any available rebates in your area, can make up for the cost of the upgrades. Your clients will appreciate your work all the more when they understand this.
Smart controllers
Advancing your client’s irrigation system with a smart controller can create enormous savings every year. Smart controllers automatically adjust irrigation times to account for environmental and landscape factors, such as soil and plant type, weather, evapotranspiration, and moisture.

Smart controllers conserve thousands of gallons of water annually by delivering only what is necessary. Eliminate overwatering with smart controllers like the Baseline 3200 or Rain Bird’s ESP-SMT Smart Control System.
Savings
Replacing conventional spray heads with high efficiency nozzles, such as the MP Rotator, Rain Bird HE-VAN, and Toro Precision Series, will greatly improve a client’s system and solve any runoff problems. These nozzles can help maintain even, healthy turf, with appropriate water distribution and low water pressure.

Retrofits: Savings and sustainability
The savings created from a reduced water bill and available rebates can often make up for the cost of the retrofit. A retrofit brings environmental benefits, as well. Your clients will be all the more pleased to know they are saving water and money on their properties.
