New Water Saving Device
I am very excited about a new water saving device that we are currently testing for an inventor. I'm not allowed to comment too much on the device, but I can tell you what it does.
This device shuts off the flow of water to a particular sprinkler head when it breaks! Have you ever been driving down the street and seen a gusher or stream of water shooting up in the air. This is most likely due to a broken sprinkler head on the lawn irrigation system.
Several states and cities have fines up to $2,000 for people wasting water with broken sprinkler heads on their property. Not only do you waste water when you have a broken sprinkler head, but most of the time that one broke head will cause enough of a pressure loss so that the entire zone will not function properly.
This new device would allow the rest of the zone to run a peak performance, while temporarily shutting the water off to a sprinkler head until it can be repaired.
My thoughts on this device are this: Freaking Brilliant. There are numerous benefits to the customer and society as a whole to use this new device. There are a few negatives such as the cost of systems will be slightly driven up due to more materials and a little more labor time, but I believe that the positive factors will outweigh the negative ones.
We will proceed on with the many plans we have in store for this water saving device and continue to work with the inventor as he aims to perfect this product before releasing to the public.
Just like rain sensors became mandatory on all new lawn sprinkler systems in Florida in 1991, I believe that once the public and government learns of the benefits of this new device, they will too become mandatory.
