1 Efficient Irrigation via Smart Control Rick Foster Sr. Product Manager
2 The World s Water Crisis There is no new water.
3 Current Water Issues The cost of water & power is rising annually As the population grows, limited water sources strain to keep up with demand = DROUGHT In many cities, water delivery systems were designed to service a much smaller number of people than is required today = INFRASTRUCTURE IS STRAINED Irrigation is one the most visible forms of water use and is usually the first to be regulated in a drought or water shortage condition
4 Current Water Issues A recent report on the irrigation industry stated that automatic irrigation systems are one of the largest causes of over-watering: The controller on the typical irrigation system is adjusted an average of 1-1/2 times per year and many are never adjusted Controllers are typically set to apply the peak irrigation requirement of the year The average automatic irrigation system applies 2 to 3 times the amount of water required by the landscape
5 Current Water Issues Current politics of irrigation: Water bans & restrictions Tiered water rates Lawn size and landscape restrictions Mandatory irrigation audits Mandatory smart controllers Water-efficient product rebates
6 The need to deliver superior results with less water creates exciting new business opportunities. As the industry leader in water-efficient irrigation, Rain Bird can help your business thrive.
7 The Intelligent Use of Water
8 The Intelligent Use of Water Today s Rain Bird Solutions Controller, central control and sensor-based solutions to maximize water application efficiency ET (Evapotranspiration) Management Soil Moisture-based Management Optimize the timing, quantity and frequency of water applied to the landscape with leading edge water management controls. Seasonal adjust/water budgeting Cycle+Soak Flow monitoring, leak detection & response Rainfall monitoring & response
9 Efficient Irrigation via SMART Control Key Concepts 1. Evapotranspiration Plant Water Need Based on Changing Weather Conditions 2. Management Allowed Depletion (MAD) Proven Method of Irrigation Scheduling
10 Efficient Irrigation via SMART Control Key Concepts Management Allowed Depletion (MAD%) Maximum % of Plant Available Water (PAW) taken out of soil before irrigating % removed; NOT % remaining MAD provides a safety buffer Broken mains Controller downtime Weather variations Varies by soil type MAD Ranges from 35% to 50%
11 Efficient Irrigation via SMART Control Key Concepts Anatomy of Soil Water Content Wasted Water Control Range Plant Stress Plant Death Saturation Soil Field Capacity Reservoir Permanent Wilt Point Parched Gravitational Water Water Run-off Heavy Nutrient Loss Root Rot Plant Available Water (PAW) Management Allowed Depletion (~50% of PAW)
12 Smart irrigation controllers work by monitoring and using information about site conditions (such as soil moisture, rain, wind, slope, soil, plant type, and more), and applying the right amount of water to the landscape based on those factors. IA Association SWAT website:

20 How ET Manager Works 20
21 ET Manager: Where to Use it ET Manager Indoor (ETMi): Any non-battery operated controller in light commercial and commercial applications ET Manager Cartridge: Any Rain Bird LX Controllers Ideal for end-users: Positioning themselves as green conscience Paying a high cost for water or facing increases in water bills Existing in states with water conservation legislation Under strict watering restrictions With a positive attitude toward change or a knack for technology Understanding the ROI of ET products With an existing weather signal 21
22 ET Manager (ETMi): Features Add-on device that can be used with any controller Interrupts the common telling each scheduled day of irrigation to water (YES) or to not water (NO). Saves 30-50% of water / money by being extremely accurate with hourly, live, local weather readings that include all four factors of ET plus rainfall measurements Smart Water Application Technologies (SWAT) Tested 22
23 ET Manager Cartridge: Features Use with any Rain Bird LX Controller Dynamic programming according to current climate conditions Irrigation schedule Runtime Easy to program with Setup Wizard Scheduling Software to design custom irrigation schedule SWAT Tested 23
24 ET Manager Rain Gauge: Features Measures rainfall on-sight so overwatering does not occur during the next irrigation event. Rainfall interrupt to shutoff irrigation during the rain. Applies only the correct amount of rainfall to future irrigation calculations During a heavy downpour the rain gauge accounts for increased runoff During a light drizzle the rain gauge accounts for higher absorption 24
