Re: Irrigation System Walkthrough
benj:
Yes, we pay for the reclaimed water used for irrigation (south of CR-466, or at least we are). And yes, I really really DO have to write up our experience with this (as I keep promising to do so...).
Supposedly there is a water sensor on the roof that will prevent the sprinkler system from coming on when it's raining. However, it's not the most reliable, I've been told by 'those who know.' When we are at our home in TV (we're snowbirds) and it rains sufficiently, say, the day before the sprinklers are due to come on, we turn the system off for that day and then turn it back on to be ready for the following week. (We're permitted once-a-week watering.)
I've heard some people turn off the system altogether during the summer when it rains nearly every day. Since we're not there much of the time, I hesitate to do this.
Hope this helps....
