Why is the Weathermatic Smartline SL800 Controller a Smart Buy?

The Weathermatic Smartline SL800 Controller is a model in the SLW series from Weathermatic. This model of weather station can help homeowners who are trying to control water usage and run off. It doesn’t necessarily require a large amount of water to keep one’s landscape or lawn green and fresh. It does however require consistency. This is the angle of Weathermatic, who brings artificial intelligence to their line of weather-based watering products.

Large commercial companies rely on sophisticated equipment to fine tune their irrigation systems so that they only pay for the water they absolutely need. This is the same principle of the Weathermatic Smartline SL800 Controller. The Smartline controller takes important data about weather, your local site (lawn or garden) and sprinkler system and combines this data to deliver the proper amount of irrigation. It’s not just artificial intelligence, as in simulating human judgment—the system is actually calculating the exact amount of water that you need to irrigate your landscape, no more, no less.

This is an advancement beyond conventional timers and clocks that most people tend to associate with automatic irrigation. The goal of the Smartline line of products is to bring a mix of technical sophistication and common sense. For example, you preset the controller to soak the lawn every day. However, if it rains, it’s only natural to see that the regular watering schedule would be overkill. Smartline’s technology, particularly with the Weathermatic Smartline SL800 Controller, has been known to save residents anywhere from 20% to over 50%. More importantly, this system has virtually eliminated problems with runoff.

Runoff is a major concern, not only to individual homeowners but also the environment. Run off happens when the water flow, created when soil is infiltrated to full capacity, begins to flow over the land. (This can result from rain, snowmelt, stream water or irrigation systems) Unfortunately, when this runoff flows along the ground it can pick up soil contaminants like pesticides, fertilizer and petroleum. You can see why eliminating this excess water is not only good for your own lawn or garden, but also for the environment overall.

The Weathermatic Smartline SL800 Controller has no service provider dependence nor does the system require any maintenance or user fees. You could also say that the product actually pays dividends on your one-time investment every single month thereafter. In case you’re wondering about the Weathermatic Smartline SL800 Controller, the testing for this innovative controller began in the 1990s and the product was patented in 1998. Testing has been done all over the world in multiple countries and these independent tests always validate the effectiveness of Smartline’s products.

If you are looking for a product that can drastically improve lawn health while also saving you money on water consumption, then the Weathermatic Smartline SL800 Controller is the best choice. It has helped some residents and property owners save upwards of 40% on water costs and helped to eliminate many unpleasant side effects of irrigation. The Smartline SL800 is a smart buy.
