A soil moisture sensor reads how wet the ground really is, so your system skips cycles it does not need.
A small probe in your yard reads soil moisture and is wired or paired to your controller. When the soil has enough water, the sensor tells your system to skip that cycle. A rain sensor only reacts to rainfall, while a soil moisture sensor reads real ground conditions. The EPA's WaterSense program describes how soil moisture-based irrigation controllers reduce outdoor water waste.
In Ormond Beach, fast-draining sandy soil can hide both underwatering and overwatering until your lawn looks stressed. We will install the sensor, set it up with your controller and show you how it works.
The sensor goes in a spot that is typical of the area it controls, inside the watered area and at root depth. It should not sit in the wettest or driest corner of the yard, or near a downspout, or the readings will be off.
Many controllers have a sensor connection built in, and others need an add-on. We check your controller first and tell you what is needed to connect the sensor.
No. The sensor only skips cycles the yard does not need. You still need to follow the watering days and hours set for your property.
Not much. Wireless sensors need fresh batteries from time to time, and the probe should be checked after lawn aeration, new sod or other digging near it.
