Irrigation Controller Programing and Summer Irrigation
Instructor: Shelkie Tao
Host: Stanford University Water Resources
Are you interested in learning about your landscaping and to be more capable of understanding the technical details of a smart controller?
Spring is a good time to learn how weather-based controllers consider the local climate to irrigate efficiently. Having that reminder ahead of a summer irrigation season might be helpful to prevent customers from increasing their irrigation time unnecessarily in the shoulder months.
Topics include:
- what variables does the controller consider?
- cover seasonal irrigation needs of a Mediterranean climate
- information that can be shared with their gardeners
- a basic "how to" program controllers, perhaps focusing on the Rachio 3 controller
- a basic overview of how to participate in the BAWSCA Rachio rebate program
