Smart Controller Benefits
Smart WiFi controllers can reduce water usage by 25-35% by automatically adjusting to Melbourne's changeable weather. Weather-based controllers monitor local conditions and skip watering when it's raining or forecast to rain.
Melbourne Water Restrictions
Melbourne has permanent water use rules that affect when you can water your garden. Generally, automatic irrigation is permitted between 6pm and 10am. Smart controllers help you stay compliant while maximising water efficiency.
