Although summer is a distant memory, that doesn’t mean you can neglect your yard and lawn. One of the most water-wise things you can do for your garden and your budget is to install an automatic irrigation system. The good news is, that’s easier than you think. The even better news? Thanks to the big October Prime Day sale, you can nab the Rachio 3 eight-zone smart sprinkler controller for a dramatic discount of $87, bringing the price down from $230 to just $143 on Amazon right now. Don’t wait too long to grab one, though. Prime Day ends Oct. 9, and there’s no assurance this deal will last beyond then.
The Rachio smart system takes some of the guesswork out of watering. Simply install in place of your existing sprinkler controller to easily manage your sprinkler system. It integrates weather forecasting data, so it can tell you the ideal time of day and frequency to water your yard, and it can automatically skip a scheduled run if rain is expected. It will also detect leaks and automatically shut things down if one is suspected. This helps your budget, too, ensuring you’re not wasting water.
