Join us for a powerful conversation with Stuart Eyring, CEO of Orbit Irrigation, as we dig into one of the most important — and often misunderstood — concepts in irrigation: Evapotranspiration (ET). ET is the combination of water lost through soil evaporation and plant transpiration. It is the scientific foundation of modern irrigation scheduling, helping […]
What’s the Issue? Water is one of our most precious resources, yet it is increasingly under pressure from urbanization, climate change, and rising demand. Every second, two more people move to urban areas, and 50% of the world’s population now lives in megacities with 10 million or more residents. This rapid growth strains existing water […]
As the primary growing season draws to a close, fields that once brimmed with lush crops may seem dormant. However, for many forward-thinking farmers, the end of one season marks the start of another: the off-season. During the fall and winter months, this period offers a valuable opportunity to plant cover crops, delivering several significant […]
Flow sensors have become integral in revolutionizing water management. These pivotal components stand out due to their ability to detect flow, a key feature of modern intelligent controllers. But what does “sensing flow” mean, and why is it paramount in efficient water management? The Power of Sensing Flow Flow sensors are cost-effective tools that detect […]
Waterwise landscaping means more than just cutting down on water usage. It’s about using smart, efficient methods to maximize the potential of every single drop.
As we approach winter, it’s time to think about winterizing the irrigation system for the months ahead with a few simple steps. In freezing areas improperly winterized systems can lead to costly damage such as pipe bursts or component failures. In other areas as the weather cools people may use their systems less. Below we’ve […]

At Hydro-Rain, we understand the critical role of efficient irrigation in maintaining lush landscapes while conserving precious water resources. In this blog, we delve into the world of spray bodies and their crucial function in irrigation systems. More importantly, we shine a spotlight on our patented adjustable pressure regulation technology for spray and rotary nozzles. […]
The Key-hole technology used in the Hydro-Rain HRX-075 nozzles refers to a unique nozzle design that creates a water droplet that is shaped like a keyhole. This design allows for more precise control of the water spray pattern and ensures more efficient water distribution. The keyhole-shaped water droplet created by the HRX-075 nozzle is more […]
In the world of irrigation management, having precise control over a large number of stations is essential. Hydro-Rain recognizes this need and offers an innovative solution in the form of the HSC (High Station Count) Controller. In this blog post, we will explore the features and benefits of this advanced irrigation controller and how it […]
