It happens every year. The weather turns around and for at least a few months out of the year, the temperature drops below freezing. This is when having a simple automated irrigation controller or timer may not be enough. It's easy to forget to manually reset your controller with all the other things going on during this time. However, If you don't, your sprinklers could keep irrigating, adding layers of ice to your lawn, your plants, and even your walkways and sidewalks. This poses a danger to people walking, driving, and to the well being of your landscape. This can be remedied by simply adding a rain/freeze sensor to your existing system. This sensor will prevent the system from irrigating at temperatures below 35 deg F. A professional installer will be glad to help you, so you will be able to irrigate wisely.
