Water is a natural resource. In our country, we generally have the opportunity to dispose easily. We tend to forget that this is not the case for everyone … Once the genesis of poolse, we directed our efforts to preserve this resource.

This is an economic but also ecological reason.

Poolse’s intelligence optimizes watering using many parameters and checking forecasts afterwards.

In the example below we compare a traditional watering programming with “poolse auto” solution

We established this comparison for the year 2015.

The garden:

  • Location: Avignon
  • 5380 square feet of lawn watered through sprinkler sprays
  • 165 ft shrub hedge, 2 palm trees and 100 square feet flowerbeds watered by spot watering

Equipment:

  • The 165 feet shrub edge (63 shrubs) and the two palm trees are on a first zone.
  • 1 GPH Drip Emitter on each shrub and 2 GPH Drip Emitter on palm trees.
  • The 100 Square feet flowerbeds is watering with 20 spot watering emitters (1 GPH) – Second Zone.
  • The lawn is divided into 4 equal-sized areas. Each areas is watered with the equivalent of 4 sprinkler sprays with a flow rate of 105 GPH each, for a 16 feet radius – Zone 3, 4, 5, 6.

Traditional programmer settings:

  • The durations have been defined to achieve the nominal quantity of water during the hottest summer time
  • For the periods before and after, a decreased watering duration was defined gradually
