Hunter Solar Sync
Hunter has recently released the newest in a long line of irrigation sensors called the Solar Sync, which most likely will change the way most people monitor watering their yards making rain and freeze sensors a thing of the past. Now most irrigation sensors just monitor rain fall and shut the irrigation system down for a period of time set by the user. Freeze sensors do basically the same thing and shut the irrigation system down when outside temperatures get to freezing levels but the Solar Sync sensor is in a league of its own as it monitors outside temperatures and uses that data to calculate the evapotranspiration know as (ET) and determines watering requirements for you.
As the outside temperatures drop or rise the Solar Sync will adjust your irrigation controller for you. If the outside weather has been extremely hot the Solar Sync will give the go ahead to the irrigation controller and water. If it’s extremely cold outside and in the danger zone for watering the Solar Sync will shut down the irrigation controller for you. This will save users all the time and aggravation of having to re-adjust the irrigation controller all the time and during the different seasons. The Hunter Solar Sync is now available and you should be able to find it at most online irrigation retailers if you can’t find it at your local Hunter dealer. Pricing is around $100.00 depending on where you get it and it is compatible with the New Hunter I-Core controller, Hunter Pro-C controller, PCC and ICC controllers as well.

The Most Important Irrigation Supplies
Due to stricter county and state irrigation restrictions if you are going to setup a new irrigation system you might want to move toward installing a water saving system.
Older irrigation systems just involved a irrigation timer, your average impact sprinklers and a water line. These systems which you most people already have installed at their home or business get the job done but seriously waste water. So what do you need to change or add in order to save water?
First get a rain or freeze sensor. These sensors will shut the irrigation controller off for a period of 24-72 hours after a rain, you can set it up per how much rain you want to trigger the shutoff. Rain bird has come out with a new wireless rain sensor called the wr2-rc. You can set this one up without having to run wires from your garage to the outside of your home or office. Hunter also makes a very good wireless sensor the WRC Sensor. Both of these sensors will get the job done.
Second add some drip irrigation to your plants and shrubs around your home or office. Rotors and spray sprinklers usually put off way too much water which can easily cause many plant diseases and fungus issues if you aren't careful. Drip irrigation is going to be the way of the future so upgrade your older heads.
Third get a new irrigation controller. There are tons of irrigation timers and controllers on the market these days but the newer ones such as the Hunter I-Core Controller have many water saving features built in for example detecting sprinkler head blow outs.
