Toro’s Water Saver® Design Service Makes Planning or Upgrading Your Sprinkler System Easier
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (Spring 2011) - Every do-it-yourself project starts out with a set of instructions. When it comes to installing your own sprinkler and drip irrigation system, Toro® goes the extra mile to make sure the design and installation process is easy. In fact, they'll create a plan that can use less water and provide great results all while saving you time and money.
Properly designed and installed automatic sprinkler and drip irrigation systems provide many benefits for your lawn, garden and other landscaping. First, they eliminate the time and hassle of hauling hoses around your property. More important, irrigation systems can actually cut down on the amount of water you use.
For more than 45 years, Toro has led the professional and home irrigation industry. As water use becomes a growing global concern, Toro is making significant strides in innovative water saving solutions. “If you don't have an irrigation system, or you're using a system that is older than five years, you could be using up to 50% more water than you need,” says Laura Lopez, senior channel manager for Toro's Retail Water Business. “One way our systems can save water is by reducing the common problem of over watering - the cause of that river of wasted water running down the gutter in front of your house,” adds Lopez. Toro irrigation systems improve the accuracy, timing and delivery of water, making sure that lawns, plants and trees get the correct amount of water they need only when they need it. Precise and efficient watering creates healthy plants and a lush lawn, without wasting water.
For the do-it-yourselfer who wants to design or upgrade their own system, Toro's Do-It-Yourself Irrigation Planning & Installation Guide provides all the details necessary to get started.
A key component of this guide is Toro's Water Saver® Design Service. The design service makes planning or upgrading a sprinkler or drip irrigation installation easy and precise, providing the homeowner with a customized plan that is specific to the property's lawn and landscape.
