Outdoors > Lawn > How to Use Watering Devices to Conserve Water

Learn how to use timing devices and sensors to water thoroughly without wasting water.

Add a rain monitor between the hose and the sprinkler head to control the electronic timer. When 1/2-inch of rain accumulates in the reservoir/collector on the rain monitor, it prevents the next scheduled watering by shutting off the water flow at the sprinkler end. It also drains and resets itself automatically in preparation for the next watering cycle.
