Today's marketplace is seeing increased pressure for careful resource
management. Rapidly rising water costs and
mandatory cutbacks will force property owners and
managers to find ways to use less water, while keeping
landscapes green and healthy.
Economics
aren't the only important reason for water conservation.
As public awareness of water shortages increases,
tolerance for water running down the streets or in the
rain decreases. Accurate and appropriate
irrigation delivery is becoming more and more important
for positive public image.
Our computerized
irrigation systems are designed to address all these
needs and more. And best of all, we do all the
work for you from our Central Control Center. IMS can
use a sophisticated local weather station to determine
exactly how much water should be applied. The weather
station continually monitors key meteorological
conditions to calculate how much moisture has been used
by plants (transpiration) and how much water has been
lost to evaporation. Additionally, IMS can place
optional devices at your site to measure localized
rainfall and wind velocity. Using this
information, Maxicom2 replaces only the
amount of water that has been used since the last
irrigation cycle. Maxicom2 can also be
customized for specific conditions such as different
plant and soil types at the same site. An
indispensable tool in protecting against water loss and
property damage is the use of flow sensing equipment.
IMS can install optional flow sensing devices at your
site to detect any abnormal flow in the system resulting
from problems such as a broken irrigation line or a
valve stuck open. Maxicom2 sends an alarm to
IMS when abnormal flow is detected so that an immediate
service call can be made. For larger sites, Maxicom2
can use flow data to manage the irrigation schedules to
optimize the hydraulic capacity of the system. Maxicom2, from Rain
Bird, currently provides the industry leading
technology for our service. We are constantly
exploring the market for emerging technologies that will
enhance our service to you, the client. Please contact
