Advantage of Rain Alarm
Advantages of Rain Alarm

1. Conserve Water

There is a lot of water that you can save by using a rain sensor. By automatically turning off your lawn irrigation system every time it rains, the conserved water can be used in other essential purposes such as fighting fire.

2. Prevent Disease Damage and Nutrient Loss

Over-watering prevent the roots of your plants from reaching deep into –the ground making your plants vulnerable to disease. Over-watering is also one of the major cause of nutrient loss in plants as excessive watering washes away the nutrients of the soil leaving your plants weak and unhealthy.
3. Save Money on Fertilizer

A rain sensor prevents you from overwatering your plants and lawn. When a plant is overwatered, the nutrients from the turf wash away into the drainage system. You have to compensate by adding more fertilizers to your lawn and plants. This means spending more money on fertilizers. With a rain sensor that effectively prevents your lawn irrigation system from overwatering your lawn and plants, your garden turf will remain to be an ideal environment for your plants in accordance with the fertilizer that you are using.

4. Increase the Life-span of your Irrigation System
Using a rain sensor prevents unnecessary wear and tear of your lawn irrigation system since it minimizes the amount of time that your lawn irrigation is in operation. This is especially useful during the rainy season where rain unpredictably come and go.

5. Prevent Groundwater and Waterways Pollution

A lawn irrigation system equipped with a rain sensor minimizes wasteful runoff such as pesticides, motor oil, fertilizer, pet waste and sediments from reaching your waterways. It also minimizes garden pollutants such as herbicides and fertilizers from getting into your groundwater

    It would be a shame to restrict the water for our farmers where we get our local foods. Not only would we have to turn to water from outside sources but we would also have to rely on food from other states and countries. There are many ways to save water that everybody should be aware of because we waste water in our everyday lives. Most people have heard about the simple ways to help like turning off the sink while brushing their teeth or when they put shampoo on in the shower, but doing only the simple ones will not save our water. We must limit our time and the amount we use when we shower, wash our hands or the dishes, or when we water our plants. Also, collected rain from when there is a storm can be a great substitute for watering plants instead of using a hose. There are all kinds of methods to preserve and make great use of the much needed…

In other words, if they leave dried out corn or other crops, it will cover the soil and create residue. Lastly, farmers can capture more rainfall by trying not to pump from the aquifer unless needed.…
