Watering Wand

A watering wand attaches to your hose and allows you to water directly on the root of your plant, avoiding unnecessary water waste that comes from evaporation, runoff or wind.

Water Flow Sensors

These sensors let you know in real time via your smartphone if your water usage has spiked, alerting you to a possible leak. They are also helpful tools to track your water usage throughout the year.

Hose End Timer

A hose end timer does just what you’d think it does — turns your hose off after a designated amount of time. Not only is this better for your plants as it prevents overwatering, but it saves water and money, too.

WaterSense Low-Flow Showerhead

Low-flow showerheads that include the WaterSense label can be up to 20 percent more efficient, without sacrificing water pressure. Replacing your water-wasting showerhead is easy, just follow these steps.

Rain Gauge

There are all types of rain gauges, but they all have one purpose: to let you know exactly how much rain there was. For the gardener, this information is valuable in ensuring you don’t overwater your plants.

Soaker Hose

Like the watering wand, a soaker hose gets the water right to where it matters: the roots. They are also a convenient way to maintain your garden beds. Be sure not to turn the water on too high — you only need a quarter turn of the faucet for it to do its job.

Rainfall Sensor

A rainfall sensor is mandatory on all irrigation systems. It automatically shuts off your sprinkler system if it’s raining or has just rained.

Rain Barrel

There’s a source of water available to your plants that literally falls straight from the sky. Don’t miss out on the chance to collect rainfall with a rain barrel. It can be used to water container plants and small garden beds, saving you money in the long run.
