This is the company who created a kickstarter campaign to develop and produce a super intelligent watering system that can track and analyse water usage, as well as allow for in-app scheduling, and if you get this "super experience" package you can also monitor any rainfall and decide if the app will water the lawn or not.
Water when you're not there.
You can be on a beach thousands of miles away and know that your garden is getting watered. Whether it's delicate seedlings or a whole lawn, as long as you've got the harder in place (hosepipes etc.) this package does the rest. It controls and monitors water usage and provides a ton of data to help you make informed decisions about water usage for the future.
Nice product and great presentation! I was expecting a wallet-pounding price, but was delightfully surprised at the low cost of the system you have. I'm surprised RainPoint did not include small solar panels on the exterior sensors to charge the batteries during the day. Maybe Version 2.0 will have them.
If you add some Hunter or Rainbird pop-up sprinkler heads, you will have a very nice lawn irrigation system. I have used both Hunter and Rainbird systems, but prefer the Hunter for its durability and ease of programming. In the past 11 years, I have not needed to replace any of the Hunter components, but was replacing a few Rainbird valves or spray bodies every season. Fortunately, you don't have to dig up the spray bodies to replace the failed components.
I recommend the Hunter PRS40 (40PSI) or PRS30 (30PSI) pressure regulated spray bodies and MP rotator heads. These will work perfectly with your RainPoint controller since they operate by water pressure. I have 16 of the PRS40 spray bodies in two zones for the 200m2 lawn, and each zone works perfectly on the high pressure well pump or the domestic water pressure. Depending on your domestic water pressure, you might want to limit each zone to eight spray bodies. However, you should be able to easily cover your lawn with eight spray bodies along the perimeter with the appropriate MP rotator heads.
Thanks Mike.. something I need to look more into.. (for sure!)
Rain bird R-Van sprinklers are good I've had them for a while now and very happy with them get the pressure regulated bodies to get consistency
The stripes on the grass look amazing in the background......
Thanks
That looks like a great job Shaun
Thanks man..
Impressively detailed review, cheers!
I'll see if it's a good price with your 15% code, this product is good for summer watering
Does it automatically suspend watering when its rainy or do you have to skip it manually?
