WaterSense labeled models
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.

Spray-to-Drip Retrofit Kits
Still watering plants and planters with overhead spray? You can greatly reduce the amount of water you’re using by converting those old sprinkler heads to a modern drip system. With a Spray-to-Drip Retrofit Kit, you can convert existing spray irrigation to a drip system covering up to 400 square feet. These systems normally cost more than $300, but are available to Marin Water customers for $166. Manufactured by Rain Bird, these kits come with easy-to-follow instructions for DIYers.
Nozzles & Spray Bodies
Rain Bird sprinkler nozzles fit most round, pop-up-style sprinkler bodies. With exclusive customer discounts, prices range from $1.18 to $3.56 apiece. We also offer a discount on replacement sprinkler heads/sprinkler spray bodies when needed. Replace entire zones of sprinklers to maximize your irrigation system’s efficiency. Note: Selecting the right product depends on several factors – from sprinkler head spacing and height to the relative slope of a yard.
