n Underhill International www.underhill.us
Underhill International introduces Water Dex, an innovative palm-sized remote that adjusts sprinkler run-times without repro- gramming the irrigation controller. Called a “shortcut to seasonal ad-
justments,” WaterDex includes a mini- transmitter (3” x 2” x 2”) with a 200-foot, line-of-sight range and micro-receiver that hard wires into the irrigation controller. By dialing up or down on the WaterDex
transmitter, end-users can immediately in- crease or decrease sprinkler run-times for any zone throughout their system, without affecting the programming cycle. The controller remains set at a maxi- mum summer schedule and is fine tuned
by percentage (in 10 degree increments) as the seasons change, based on zip code location and the regional Watering Index. The WaterDex receiver can be wired
into a Hunter, Toro, Weathermatic, Rain Bird or other popular controller in less
than 15 minutes with basic tools. The unit is designed as a cost-saving alternative to smart or weather-based irrigation systems. Since WaterDex does not use satellite or in- ternet transmissions, there are no monthly service fees. n

Crop Production Services has been pro- viding wireless monitoring services for growers’ irrigation equipment since 1996, but never have there been as many options available as there are now. Small, solar-powered monitoring sta-
tions transmit data in this system that can be accessed via the web or phone. These stations can monitor pivot direction and travel, soil moisture, pumps, weather, dis- ease modeling and/or evapo-transpiration. CPS will even
install and unin- stall the systems and they can be rented or pur- chased through a lease-option. A demo is available on www.preci- sionagrilab.com/ data/sample.
