Water is a precious resource that we often take for granted. But did you know that outdoor water use accounts for up to 50% of the total water consumption in some areas? And that most of that water is wasted due to inefficient irrigation systems and schedules?

If you want to have a beautiful and healthy landscape without wasting water, time and money, you need a smart irrigation controller. And not just any smart irrigation controller, but the best one on the market: Rachio’s Iro.

What is Iro?

Iro is a smart irrigation controller that is powered by Rachio’s intelligent cloud-based software and is controlled via an intuitive, lightning-fast iPhone and Android app or web-dashboard. Iro is incredibly easy to install and set up, replacing only the existing control box, and modernizes the entire irrigation system.

How does Iro work?

Once connected to the internet via WiFi, Iro gives you full control over your sprinklers from anywhere in the world. You can turn them on or off with the push of a button in the app, or adjust the schedule and settings as you wish.

But what makes Iro truly smart is its ability to automatically manage your watering schedule based on your landscape characteristics, weather, seasonality, water budgets and user feedback. Iro uses advanced algorithms and data from thousands of weather stations to optimize your watering schedule for water-efficiency and plant health. Iro also adapts to changing weather conditions and local regulations, so you never have to worry about overwatering or under-watering your lawn or garden.

What are the benefits of Iro?

By using Iro, you can enjoy many benefits, such as:

  • Saving water: Iro can help you reduce your outdoor water use by up to 50%, saving thousands of gallons of water per year and lowering your water bill.
  • Saving time: Iro takes care of your watering schedule for you, so you don’t have to spend hours programming your old controller or adjusting it manually every time the weather changes.
  • Saving money: Iro pays for itself in less than two years by saving you water and energy costs. Plus, you may be eligible for rebates from your local water provider or municipality for installing a smart irrigation controller.
  • Having a better landscape: Iro delivers the right amount of water at the right time to each zone of your landscape, ensuring optimal plant growth and health. You can also customize your watering preferences for each zone, such as soil type, plant type, sun exposure and more.
  • Having more fun: Iro lets you enjoy your outdoor space more by giving you more time to relax and play. You can also share your water savings achievements with your friends and family on social media, or join Rachio’s community of smart water users and learn from their tips and tricks.
