ET WATER INTRODUCES GLOBAL CHANGES FEATURE THAT ENABLES SCHEDULE ADJUSTMENTS TO THOUSANDS OF STATIONS ACROSS HUNDREDS OF CONTROLLERS FROM ANY PC IN A FEW KEYSTROKES
Corte Madera, CA, (July 21, 2008) ET Water Systems, Inc. has released new software that enables a landscape professional to view and adjust watering schedules on all controllers on a site with a few keystrokes from any personal computer. For example, if new watering restrictions call for 3 days a week watering, landscape managers can use this new feature to modify schedules for all affected sites within minutes, regardless of whether there are two controllers – or two thousand.
ET Water developed this feature at the request of an HOA landscape manager who has 323 of the company's commercial controllers on 2,600 acres of landscaping. With more than 6,000 stations under management, this feature is an incredible time-saver. From his desk, the manager can now make changes in minutes that would take many hours if he was using either standard controllers or other smart controller products that don't feature two-way internet communication with central control capability.
Ben Kaczmarek, ET Water's CEO, says "Our new Global Changes feature is further evidence of our commitment to listen to our customers and deliver features that make their jobs easier and contribute meaningfully to water conservation." He continues, "With our proprietary central server architecture we can deliver continuous improvements to our industry-leading product. These new features are provided to our customers automatically, without a need for upgrades or site visits."
