WEATHER BASED SMART IRRIGATION TIMERS
HIGH EFFICIENCY WASHERS
High Efficiency Nozzles are sprinkler nozzles designed to reduce water consumption. High Efficiency Nozzles can come in form of rotary nozzles and spray nozzles. Instead of a fixed stream of water, rotary nozzles deliver multiple streams, reducing water waste. High Efficiency nozzles deliver a wider stream of water that decreases overspray and runoff. Increase in water droplet size in newer spray nozzles decrease the amount of overspray while increasing amount applied to vegetation. High efficiency nozzles are designed for easy replacement on pop-up irrigation heads. The rebate amount for qualifying nozzles is $4 per nozzle. The rebate for Shut Off Nozzles are $10. Eligible nozzles are as follows:
• Nozzles must be new;
• Nozzles must have documentation (pamphlet, sticker, etc.) signifying its water use efficiency; • While there is no minimum requirement to be eligible for rebate, it is required that all nozzles on an individual valve circuit be replaced at the same time for effective conservation.
High Efficiency Washers (HEW’s) yield savings in both water and electricity. HEW’s maximum water factor is 6 (based on gallons per cycle/per cubic foot) and use at least 35% less water than conventional washers. Reduction in water usage also reduces energy use because less water needs to be heated. The rebate amount for a qualifying HEW is $100. Eligible HEW’s are as follows:
• HEW’s must be new;
• HEW’s must be on the current list of Energy Star qualified clothes washers, as found at www.energystar.gov and have a water factor of 6 (gallons per cycle/per cubic foot) or less per load (specified on the qualified current list); • Must be replacing a unit that uses a higher volume of water per load.
