With the release of this specification, consumers will now have more choices than ever for WaterSense-labeled irrigation technologies available on the market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe thank WaterSense for their leadership in spearheading the development of this specification,\u201d says John Farner, IA\u2019s industry development director. \u201cSoil moisture sensors are an effective tool to ensure that water is being used efficiently, while promoting plant health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Soil moisture-based irrigation controllers now join weather-based controllers, spray sprinkler bodies and professional certifications in the WaterSense portfolio of labeled irrigation technologies and programs. Like weather-based irrigation controllers, WaterSense-labeled soil moisture sensors can be stand-alone controllers or \u201cadd-on\u201d or \u201cplug-in\u201d devices that can be used in tandem with an existing controller to help it water more efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Irrigation Association looks forward to our continued partnership with the WaterSense program,\u201d says Farner. \u201cSince its inception, the IA has stood with WaterSense to enhance the market for water-efficient technologies, products and services. As demand for these products continues to grow, so does the importance of this public-private partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the release of the specification, these products can earn the WaterSense label. Manufacturers, retailers and distributors that produce or sell soil moisture sensors are welcome to join the program as WaterSense partners and begin applying to label or promote labeled sensors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Consumers now have more choices for WaterSense-labeled irrigation technologies available on the market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":1393,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","main-categories":[32,27],"class_list":["post-1392","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","main-categories-equipment","main-categories-irrigation"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.8 (Yoast SEO v17.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>WaterSense releases specs for moisture controllers - Irrigation &amp;
