When we moved into our pre-owned home 5 months ago the prior owner settings on the Hunter unit was generating 30,000 gallons a month for well established landscaping.
Superior established - set - and controlled the Hunter unit (with owners consent) remotely.
If u have a full contract with superior then u have irrigation assistance at no additional charge. If the technician comes to ur home for service - $75 an hour plus parts.
The house is 12 years old and sits on a half acre lot - regardless...7,500 gallons a week was absolute insanity.
Disagree if u want but Superior is inferior - based on my experience.
This is my first irrigation system. I spent the last 5 months learning the system - tracking zone paths - adding new zones - uncovering long since grown over and buried heads - replacing heads and mastering the Hunter software program.
I use programs that run the system automatically. But I real time monitor usage almost every day (a stroll around the yard) checking leaf curl, wilting and browning. Then adjust accordingly.
I’m now down to 18,000 a month - much of which is attributed to new plantings.
It can be a lot of work to fine tune an established 12 year old irrigation system - or a lot of money paid out to others.
I chose the work path cause I have buy-in to a long term benefit. To many service folks it’s just an hourly buy-in that they want to extend for as long as possible.
