Just imagine that today we have the technology for your irrigation to be controlled by a Wi-Fi controller, save you money, save on water, and get a perfect lawn by working with the weather reports to supply the exact water your lawn needs to be healthy and beautiful.

Well that technology exists and is here in Tampa Bay right now! Hunter’s residential controllers offer simple to advanced automatic watering with an abundance of user-friendly features. Most Hunter controllers can be upgraded to “smart controllers” by adding sensors. Look for a local Hunter Preferred Contractor.

Hunter Hydrawise

A healthy, beautiful garden needs just the right amount of water to thrive. Hydrawise automatically adjusts watering based on highly accurate, internet-sourced local weather data. The system looks at the forecast and past history to ensure that just the right amount of irrigation is applied. This is accomplished via advanced Predictive Watering, which fine-tunes watering based on the weather data. This leads to significant water savings from your sprinkler system, saving you both time and money. Save up to 50% water with Predictive Watering™. Here is a video about the Hydrawise.

Features

There are a lot of amazing features that make this system excess. Here is a description from Hunter on the Hydrawise system.

Smart Watering

Smart Watering is an automated watering schedule that uses information about environmental conditions to ensure your plants get the optimum amount of water. The controller will vary your watering frequency based on actual evaporation and rainfall in your area on a day-to-day basis. Learn more

Time-Based Watering

Time-based Predictive Watering offers you the benefit of weather data by adjusting the length of watering without adjusting frequency. This feature is great for areas with days of the week water restrictions. Learn more

Weather Stations

Sprinkler System Tools

Hydrawise does more than schedule water; it monitors your whole sprinkler system.

Detect Faulty Wiring

The Hydrawise 12 station model constantly monitors the electrical current flowing to your solenoid valves. If the current is too high or too low, Hydrawise will alert you and communicate which valve isn’t working properly. This feature provides the opportunity to correct an issue before plant material suffers.

Lighting Programs

For people with landscape lighting, you can now program your lights with Hydrawise by adding a PXSync from Hunter.
