And now there is a new way to go green in Orange County. Many Orange County (and other Southern California County water districts) water districts are offering generous incentives for their customers to purchase "smart" irrigation controller systems. Cyber-Rain is a new and exciting smart sprinkler controller, which can adjust the watering schedule of all parts of your lawn, while adjusting based on temperature, climate, humidity and specific daily conditions. The Cyber-Rain system can control up to 8 different lawn zones, and can water your lawn up to 4 times per day, all depending on your specifications and weather conditions. Handsome rebates are available for many Orange County residents who would seek to go with the flow of the future, and update their technology, both to save money and save the environment.
