WaterSense labels two types of irrigation controllers that can help homeowners and businesses make their irrigation scheduling more water-efficient: Weather-based irrigation controllers use local weather and landscape conditions to tailor watering schedules, and soil moisture-based irrigation controllers monitor moisture levels in the soil to prevent irrigation when water is not needed.

With proper installation, programming, and maintenance, these self-adjusting controllers can reduce overwatering. Install a WaterSense labeled irrigation controller and receive a rebate up to $100.

Note: Rachio 3 irrigation controllers are also available at a discount, up to 70%, through a partnership program with Rachio. Customers may apply for only one controller incentive, not both.
