”Knows” when and where to irrigate based on pertinent meteorological and agronomic information
Incorporating the WeatherTRAK scheduling engine, the Intelli-Sense controller receives daily local precipitation updates and ET values via sophisticated one-way radio transmissions
Can calculate daily real-time ET values for any area down to 0.6 square miles with data gathered from 14,000 national weather stations and National Oceanographic Atmospheric Administration
Intelli-Sense determines how much moisture is available to the landscape’s microclimate, matching those ET updates to benchmark data of seven site-specific attributes for each landscape setting – including sprinkler type and precipitation rate; plant type and root depth; soil type and water-holding capacity; amounts of sun or shade; slope of the terrain
Combining site information with the most current ET values, Intelli-Sense is able to calculate the precise water requirements for each valve zone of the landscape, every day, automatically making adjustments to the irrigation schedule and activating sprinkler run cycles accordingly
