LETTING THE WEATHER CONTROL THE WATER

San Francisco, CA, (July 19, 2008) — ET Water Systems, Inc. was featured in a San Francisco Chronicle article entitled "Letting the Weather Control the Water," written by Jillian Steinberger, principal in Garden Artisan, a design/build company with a focus on ecology. Jillian says about smart controllers, "These high efficiency systems can be heroes in the garden" and goes on to explain that the EPA reports as much as 70% of a home’s total water use during the dry season may go to landscape irrigation and more than 50% of that is wasted. Smart controllers can eliminate most of the waste.

Cynthia Havstad of Stopwaste.org is cited for saying "smart controllers can have a large impact on making every drop of irrigation count toward keeping you landscaping well-watered, healthy and beautiful."

Steinberger says that ET Water "will appeal to Internet-savvy folks, to those who get frustrated with knobs and buttons on the box, and to customers managing multiple properties such as distant vacation homes, since it is unnecessary to travel to the site to program changes. For that reason, ET Water appeals to large facilities: the U.C. Berkeley Botanical Gardens, Cisco, Adobe Systems, Bayer and Autodesk."
