Sequoia Glen Water Management Case Study:

Results are in after our first year of water consumption analysis since installing the Hydropoint ET controllers at Sequoia Glen. We compared consumption for a 12 month period starting from the install date (9/1/05 - 8/31/06) to the same time period in the prior year (9/1/04 - 8/31/05). We also weather normalized the data for accuracy and guess what we found...

Consumption has been reduced by 23%! This translates into 177,470 gallons of water saved. View the spreadsheet that captures this data analysis here.

Additionally, because of excessive pipe breaks, we installed a master valve flow sensor and Data Industrial digital flow monitor. We also wired in a red warning light.

The flow sensing system has proven to be very effective. We have had two major pipe breaks in the past year that have exceeded the programmed thresholds. In both instances the master valve shut down correctly and the red warning light went on.

Many people agree that plant health has never looked better at Sequoia Glen... another testament to the benefits of watering based on weather and plant type.

A special thanks goes to Blake Webber, Sequoia Glen's Homeowner Association President, for the opportunity to beta test this system.
