Owning and installing a Cyber-Rain smart irrigation controller is practically free. Smart Sprinkler Controller Passes SWAT Testing.


Aguora Hills, Calif. ?EUR??,,????'??? Cyber-Rain, the easy-to-use smart sprinkler controller system, announced its status as a SWAT-tested and approved smart irrigation controller. This status allows the unit to be eligible for rebate programs across the country.

Issued by the Center for Irrigation Technology, SWAT (Smart Water Application Technologies) evaluation is conducted by identifying six different zones found in typical landscape designs that include variable loam, clay and sand make-ups. Developed in partnership by water supply agencies and the irrigation industry to address a growing concern for water conservation, the SWAT test measures the efficiency of the smart controller in each zone for a period of thirty days where the zones endure both sun and rain conditions.

?EUR??,,????'??Homeowners play a key role in the conservation of water. Outdoor watering accounts for almost 58 percvent of household water nationwide,?EUR??,,????'?? said Reza Pourzia, founder & CTO of Cyber-Rain. ?EUR??,,????'??We developed Cyber-Rain to give homeowners and businesses a way to achieve major water savings, easily, and efficiently. Based on our results to date, we expect users to save 30 percent to 70 percent of irrigation water, while also improving plant health.?EUR??,,????'??

But the Cyber-Rain smart sprinkler controller does more than conserve water. The Cyber-Rain system also helps prevent excess run-off, which can lead to the pollution of waterways. Run-off carries pollutants such as fertilizer and pesticides into local streams, rivers, ponds, lakes and the ocean.

To meet new governmental regulations that promote water conservation and ebb water pollution, most cities offer some form of rebate to encourage the use of smart controllers. Rebate amounts range from $50 to as much as $1,000, and often are sufficient to pay for the purchase and installation of a Cyber-Rain system.
