Rain Sensors

It's not only smart to conserve water, it's the law. The state of Florida requires that all automatic lawn sprinkler systems be installed with "a rain sensor device or switch which will override the irrigation cycle when adequate rainfall has occurred.” And many city and county governments are requiring older systems be retrofit with sensors. Luckily, there are many programs available to help with the cost.
