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.

	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.

	It applies water slowly and evenly.
	Each Watering Head can water over 1900 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.
