The days and times can change as the water restrictions go through different stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, all irrigation controllers allow you to adjust program schedules in order to deal with these restrictions, but if you have many programs, these changes can be tedious. Consider replacing your controller with a Baseline controller to give you the most control when you are managing a site during water restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baseline irrigaton controllers are easily programmed to comply with any watering day restrictions.

The WaterTec&#8217;s soil moisture sensor works over the existing irrigation control wire you already have in the ground. You can simply bury the sensor in the landscaping near a valve box, run the wire to the valve box and connect it to the existing valve wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/hydropoint.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/HydroPointDocuments\/EcNZzt4FrmJPkatsxQQ3TMAB5zpUmbvsb3N1GwnVq0yi4Q?e=EqzigM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WaterTec S100 Technical Specification<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/hydropoint.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/HydroPointDocuments\/EQ3ZNdJWzhxCtkK60YvJ6aMBKDoroxJNcsMMrCfHXJ2b-g?e=vvhDk6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WaterTec S100 User Manual<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drought Resources Baseline Can Help You Comply with Water Restrictions and Regulations Even when conditions are favorable, your job as a professional irrigator or landscape manager is challenging.
