When choosing an irrigation controller it may be prudent to find that's earned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's WaterSense label by meeting the program's water-efficiency and performance criteria.

HydroPoint Data Systems announced that the WeatherTRAK Smart Water Manager Solution earned that distinction. This includes all models of WeatherTRAK ET Pro2 and WeatherTRAK LC weather-based irrigation controllers.

WeatherTRAK ET Pro2 and WeatherTRAK LC controller solutions demonstrate product performance for irrigation adequacy. These are the same standards achieved when the company's controllers were the first in the industry to pass the Irrigation Association's Smart Water Application Technologies (SWAT) protocol with a 100 percent perfect score in 2006.

"The EPA's WaterSense label elevates the standard of excellence and reliability for water efficient products and we are pleased the smart irrigation category is a part of the WaterSense program," said Christopher Spain, company CEO and president. "Over the past 10 years, WeatherTRAK solutions have delivered measurable savings with immediate ROI for our customers across the country."

Proven in 25 independent agency studies, the smart irrigation controllers dynamically adjust irrigation as landscape water requirements or local weather conditions change. They use a proprietary scheduling engine that scientifically calculates irrigation schedules using site-specific parameters, such as plant, soil and sprinkler type and daily ET Everywhere wireless weather data, with validated accuracy down to one square kilometer.
