AccuRain solves the problems of other systems!
  
Traditional garden irrigation systems exhibit a host of problems. Customers have a long list of complaints. These complaints
have gone largely unanswered by the manufacturers of these systems. The following is a list of problems that the AccuRain
Watering System was developed to solve.
  
High application rate systems, such as lawn sprinklers:
- cause runoff and water waste;
- require a large number of circuits to compensate for a limited water supply;
- are inflexible and difficult to change;
- are inherently uneven in the application of water;
- cause additional unevenness in water absorbtion due to runoff;
- require expertise to plumb correctly;
- are labor intensive to install;
- can cause erosion on slopes due to high flow rate;
- cause pressure problems for other water uses in the home;
- are incompatible with pump/pressure tank systems;
- cause soil to become overly saturated;
- are subject to clogging by insects;
- are subject to damage from foot traffic, mowers etc;
- are subject to damage from frozen ground;
- require a large number of parts;
- require separate circuits for each different watering zone;
- require a lot of pipes and digging;
- create a fine spray that is easily displaced or evaporated by the wind;
- usually require professional installation for best results;
- are not at all suited to watering complicated or irregular shapes;
- are poorly suited to watering plants taller than mowed grass;
- require daily visual inspection to notice problems;
- suffer from a large quantity of poor quality components being sold.
Low flow rate systems, such as drip systems:
- are inappropriate for lawns and not suitable for all plants;
- are a maintainence nightmare because of so many pieces;
- deteriorate from sunlight if left above ground;
- give no indication of problems without close visual inspection;
- can be damaged by wild and domestic animals who have learned to chew it to get water;
- can suffer major damage if the filter bursts;
- can fail if the solitary pressure regulator fails;
- require separate circuits for different watering zones;
- also suffer from a large amount of poor quality components sold;
- can be easily damaged by foot traffic, mowers, deer, digging etc;
- are incompatible with weed eaters etc., forcing the use of chemical or other weed control methods;
- are expensive to install because of the large number of components;
- can waste water from undetected broken circuits.
How does the AccuRain System solve these problems?
- It applies water slowly and evenly.
- Each Watering Head can water up to 2800 square feet, so fewer pipes and trenches are needed.
- Each Watering Head can have up to 15 different watering zones of almost any size or shape.
- The Watering Heads are rugged and mounted safely above foot traffic and other hazards.
- Watering zones can easily be changed, added, or deleted.
- The System monitors itself and reports errors.
- It uses at most 1 GPM and compensates internally for varying water pressure.
- It's easy to install.
- It doesn't waste water on sidewalks or other hardscape areas.
- It's built to last.
