State of the Art Technologies Converge
Corte Madera, CA, (March 6, 2007) — ET Water Systems, LLC of Marin County, California announces an industry first with the integration of MP Rotator® technical data into its full line of web–based Smart Controllers. "Landscapers or homeowners who have ETwater® Smart Controllers can assure easy and accurate scheduling of MP Rotators by simply clicking on the picture of the MP Rotator in the online set–up screen", said Bruce Cardinal, chief executive officer of ET Water. "The scheduling engine sets a customized MP Rotator run time, soak time and frequency for the user's personal landscape profile and adjusts irrigation automatically based on daily ET and rainfall."
"Providing a separate sprinkler category just for MP Rotators in ET Water's software recognizes the growing awareness of just how complementary good sprinkler uniformity is to the watersavings potential of "Smart" controllers. We are excited to see ET Water takes this leadership position and accelerate the convergence of our two water-conserving technologies," said Mike Baron, MP Rotator Manager for Walla Walla Sprinkler Company, a subsidiary of Nelson Irrigation Corp. of Walla Walla, Washington.
Water agencies increasingly promote and subsidize the installation of weather–based controllers and efficient, rotating stream nozzles because these technologies are proven water savers. For more information, please visit www.etwater.com and www.mprotator.com.
