EPA Certifies Toro's XTRA-SMART™ ECXTRA™ Irrigation Timer

Toro's irrigation controller with wireless weather sensor earned the EPA's WaterSense® label.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, as many as 3.5 billion gallons of water are wasted on residential irrigation each day in the United States. Fresh water, one of our most precious resources, must be managed appropriately as homeowners want beautiful and healthy lawns and gardens.

This gives landscape architects and contractors a chance to come to the rescue. To that end, Toro's XTRA SMART™ ECXTRA irrigation timer and wireless weather sensor uses the latest in weather-sensing technology to properly irrigate lawns and gardens with minimal waste, saving water. EPA recognized this smart use of water, certifying the timer and weather sensor with the WaterSense label.

Timers must be smart-that is, able to use weather data to automatically adjust watering according to current conditions. They must adequately water the entire landscape without overwatering. Timers must be able to adhere to local watering restrictions, in terms of watering days or water windows.
