Start saving water today!
One of the great mysteries of sprinkler systems is how to program your timer so you don’t waste water. Making sure you use just the right amount of water, or conducting an irrigation audit, leads to maximum sprinkler efficiency and that’s where Hydro-Rain sprinkler catch cups (also known as catch cans) come in. They simply and effectively help you conserve water, perform your own sprinkler audit and reduce your water bill by accurately measuring sprinkler application rates for each watering station.
How it works
Simply place the catch cups in the included catch stands, run your sprinkler timer for 10-20 minutes per station, record the amount of water that falls into each cup and input the numbers into Hydro-Rain’s exclusive watering schedule application. Voila. The application will tell you your irrigation efficiency and timer schedule for each station, including correct duration and frequency for every month of the year.
