RAPID CHANGE IN WEATHER

This past weekend was cold and wet, more like March than May. Then, the forecast for this coming week and weekend is for temperatures 25 degrees higher with no rain in site going forward. That is Washington. This is a big justification for Weather-Based irrigation as making the appropriate changes timely is difficult as the forecast is not always correct and changes can be frequent and significant like this coming week.

We have found that through our experience with water conservation tools over the past decade, weather-based irrigation control saves 20-30% from traditional manually programmed systems making it a no-brainer with water rates rising so rapidly. Previously, converting to weather-based irrigation required capital cost. Weathermatic developed a subscription based model for their SmartLink Wireless Landscape Network Weather Base Irrigation Control  Pacific Landscape Maintenance has become a Weathermatic Premiere Partner allowing us to offer this as a subscription We have promoted Weathermatic Smartlink for 4 years now in Portland and now offering and promoting it in Seattle. For a small increase in the monthly fee, you will avoid the capital installation cost and potentially save up to 30% on your irrigation water bill.
