Hey Linn,
Thanks for the tip. I am not sure Union County have a similar programme but i have emailed them to ask regardless.
My system is in now and it worked a treat the first time…then in the evening our Irrigation meter burst and it was bubling water on the street for a good 2 hours before my plumber could come out and turn it off. That would be a few wasted thousands gallons…He is coming back tomorrow to investigate where the problem is, and determine if the error was on him or Union. The last time this happened to him it was Union County plumbers and they admitted fault. Otherwise he will sort out the bill for me.
And before anyone comes shouting, he is licensed irrigation specialist and his men were very good in their jobs. Shame about all the trenches! Lets hope they will disappear quickly!
Rachio works really well. I want to jump on the Flex daily but my installer tells me to keep it running on the allowed days for now as we have new sod coming on Wednesday and we would need to establish the baseline…we may even run it every day for a a couple of weeks.
Ended up with 6 zones and a drip as well as wireless rain sensor.
