Spring is coming, and so is irrigation season. But before you flip that controller back on and let the water flow, there’s work to do. An irrigation system that sat dormant all winter doesn’t just wake up ready to perform. Freezing temperatures, shifting soil, and months of inactivity take their toll. Skipping the pre-season checklist […]
The Colorado River water management crisis has reached another critical moment. There is a deadline on the wall, and the West just missed it. February 14th came and went without agreement among the seven Colorado River Basin states on how to manage one of the most critical water systems in North America. It wasn’t the first missed […]
If you watched the Super Bowl this past Sunday, you probably noticed the passes, the tackles, and maybe even the halftime show. But did you notice the lawn? Of course you didn’t. And that’s exactly the point. The turf at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara looked flawless. Not a brown spot, not a puddle, not […]
If you’ve spent any real time in the field, you already know this: the true cost of irrigation work isn’t fitting; it’s the labor. Glue, primer, cure times, extra tools, and return trips all add up fast. Push-to-connect fittings change that math in a meaningful way. These fittings aren’t shortcuts. They’re a better process, one that reduces labor, lowers material costs, speeds up installs and repairs, and gets crews on and off […]
If it feels like your water bill is creeping up month after month, you’re not imagining things. Homeowners across the country are opening their statements, doing a double take, and asking the same question: “How am I using this much water?” The truth is you might not be. In many cases, rising bills have less […]
Water is one of our most precious and limited resources. Yet in homes and landscapes across the country, it’s being wasted every day. Leaks, overwatering, outdated fixtures, and poor irrigation practices lead to thousands of gallons of wasted water each year. Whether you live in a drought-prone area or not, finding and fixing water waste […]
How to Save Water, Strengthen Plant Health, and Upgrade System Performance with Smart Technology  Efficient water management is no longer optional — it’s essential. Whether you’re managing a home landscape, a commercial property, or a municipal green space, proper irrigation design, smart programming, and regular maintenance are key to maximizing water savings and ensuring healthy […]
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 […]
Water conservation is not just an individual responsibility—it’s a collective effort. While one person’s inaction won’t single-handedly derail progress, widespread disregard for water efficiency will prevent meaningful change. We are facing a future where the global population is growing, but our water supply is not. That means we need more innovative solutions, better awareness, and […]
As potable water supplies dwindle and the cost per gallon continues to rise, it’s more important than ever to use every drop wisely. One effective strategy for conserving drinking water is substituting it with non-potable alternatives—such as rainwater, air conditioning condensate, stormwater runoff, and treated wastewater (commonly called “recycled water”)—for applications like landscape irrigation. Initiatives […]
