ET Water : SmartBox

The Right Amount of Water at the Right Time
– No More, No Less

The ETwater self-adjusting irrigation control system combines state-of-the-art horticultural science and proprietary web-based technology to automate the scheduling of sprinkler and drip irrigation. Water is applied to landscapes based on current local weather conditions (using both ET and rainfall) and specific landscape factors, including plant type, soil type, slope, sun/shade, sprinkler type, and distribution uniformity.

All irrigation scheduling is done automatically by the ETwater central server that communicates daily with the on-site controller to download a new weather-based irrigation schedule tailored to the user’s landscape profile.
This technology reduces typical irrigation water use by 30%-50% while assuring plant health.

All ETwater controllers and panels are fully compliant with California AB 1881, California’s Updated Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. Learn more ›
