Benefits Of Web Based Irrigation Controller

The irrigation controller is nowadays one of the most important aspects of gardening or farming. The controller controls the amount of water that is needed to be poured as it is required. Some controllers are efficient in what it does and some need manual attention. This is what differentiates between a basic irrigation controller and a smart irrigation control.

The basic irrigation controller needs manual attention. As it is just entry level controller, it doesn't give many benefits and it will work as it is instructed to regardless whether it was needed or not. That's why, in a case of a basic irrigation controller, you need to have a basic manual check so that the water irrigation is kept at the optimum level.

If no attention is given, then basic irrigation controller will do pretty harm than good. And it may also flood the field because it doesn't take any other aspect into consideration except what instructions it has been given.

The smart irrigation controller is different in this aspect. There are different types of smart irrigation controller such web based retic controller, WiFi controller etc. All these irrigation systems work in different principles yet they try to achieve the same goal. That is, to water the field properly.

Here's why web-based irrigation controller is better than the basic controller. These controllers take into account about various aspects before deciding when and what amount of water should be sprinkled. It serves two essential purposes.

First is water conservation. According to statistics, about 40% of sprinkled water goes into waste. That is a serious loss of water resource if you think about it overall. Smart irrigation controller such as web-based retic controller could prevent it smartly calculating how much water is needed. According to the input from various resources,  it makes calculations based upon that, and from there it makes decisions about how much water should be sprinkled.

For example of its a cloudy weather and rain is falling, the sprinkled water will let less water to come out as the rain water is more than enough to cover up. Thus lots of liters of water could be saved from this method.

Secondly, the web based controller also tries to see how much water which plant needs and based on the landscape, the frequency will vary from time to time.  Thus web based retic controller indeed helps in retaining water.
