FARMINGDALE, N.Y., July 25 /PRNewswire/ -- New York-based Sprinkler IQ
(http://www.sprinklerIQ.com), which develops smart irrigation systems, gives
homeowners, property managers, building owners and landscape contractors an
easy way to save 30-70% on their landscape watering bills by using their
new patented pending technology. The Sprinkler IQ does not require a
computer nor an internet connection in order to start saving. There are no
subscription fees for this service and so the user starts saving money and
water right from day one.
Kevin Wu, President and inventor of the Sprinkler IQ, says, "Companies
have a moral obligation to do what is right for future generations. As long
as the technology is available, all industries should be required to make
products that are environmentally sustainable. Not to do so would be the
equivalent of strip mining our planet. We are excited to introduce this
product because it is the first water timer that is easy to use, affordable
and effective. Our primary objective is to solve the water problem in a way
that would save the consumer money very quickly. Other more expensive
models do not save as much water as ours do because not as many people can
afford to buy them."
The Sprinkler IQ eliminates complicated setups as well as the need for
computers and monthly weather data subscriptions. By using a proprietary
algorithm, Sprinkler IQ automatically adjusts and postpones watering cycles
based on an on-board weather forecasting device, therefore ensuring that
the unit will not water prior to there being rain. A comparable product in
the market has rain sensors, which shut the water timer off after it senses
rain; however, often the rain comes after the water timer has already
watered. Also, the sensors on the Sprinkler IQ will adjust the watering
cycle based on the weather to ensure the least amount of evaporation. The
unit, which costs $99.00, usually pays for itself in a few months and is
available at http://www.sprinklerIQ.com and select retailers. This technology is
currently patent pending worldwide.
