Finish TradesQuestion 295 of 700
Under CALGreen, an automatic irrigation controller installed for new landscaping is generally required to be:
a.A simple manual timer only
b.A weather- or soil moisture-based (smart) controller that adjusts watering to conditions
c.Removed so watering is done by hand
d.Set to run a fixed schedule year-round regardless of weather
Explanation
CALGreen requires automatic irrigation systems to use weather- or soil-moisture-based (smart) controllers that adjust watering to actual conditions, saving water. A plain manual timer, hand watering, or a fixed year-round schedule wastes water and does not meet the requirement.
