HYDROPOINT’S WEATHERTRAK HITS PRIMETIME WITH ABC AND FOX TV HOME MAKEOVER PROGRAMS

Petaluma, Calif., September 20, 2004 – HydroPoint Data Systems, Inc., the leading provider of smart irrigation management solutions, today announced that its WeatherTRAK solution has been selected for fall shows from the ABC and FOX TV networks. WeatherTRAK will be featured first on the FOX program “Renovate My Family” on September 20, 2004, 9:00 PM Eastern Time, and then later on ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” which will air October 17, 2004, 8:00 PM Eastern Time.

The FOX program “Renovate My Family” will profile the Cole-Reimer family and the renovation of their home in Lancaster, CA. “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” from ABC will feature the remodel of the Grinnan family home in Redlands, CA. HydroPoint partnered with Chino, CA-based Irrigator Tech to install the WeatherTRAK solution for both families. Among the upgrades made to the Cole-Reimer and Grinnan homes, HydroPoint’s fully automated WeatherTRAK solution will provide accurate, water conserving irrigation to ensure the continued health and beauty of the families’ new landscapes.

“WeatherTRAK solutions improve quality of life by allowing families to relax and enjoy their landscapes together,” said Chris Manchuck, Vice President of Business Development for HydroPoint. “We’re pleased that WeatherTRAK was selected for ABC and FOX, knowing that our solution will provide deserving families with healthy, beautiful landscapes and reduce their water bills while also protecting and preserving local water resources.”

ABC and FOX seek out industry leading home and garden products to provide families with high quality, lasting improvements. WeatherTRAK was selected by both networks because it is the leading irrigation management solution for residential and commercial landscapes. WeatherTRAK is the only solution that continually adjusts irrigation based on real-time, weather-based evapotranspiration (ET) data. With WeatherTRAK, landscapes always get precisely the water they need based on parameters including plant type, soil type, slope, sun exposure and changing local weather. No time-consuming ongoing manual adjustment is required.

WeatherTRAK’s unique combination of accurate irrigation programming and real-time ET data is proven in multi-year, independent field studies to save as much as 58% of outdoor water and reduce harmful runoff by up to 71%, while reliably maintaining and even improving plant health.

ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” hosted by Ty Pennington, garnered an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Reality Program in its first season. Each episode features a race against time on a project that would ordinarily take at least four months to achieve, involving a team of designers, contractors and several hundred workers who have just seven days to totally rebuild an entire house — every single room, plus the exterior and landscaping.

Hosted by best-selling author Jay McGraw, FOX’s “Renovate My Family” is not just a home improvement show. It’s a life improvement program that visits families who have encountered some challenges along the way. “Renovate My Family” is produced by Rocket Science Laboratories, the company that also produced “Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy,” “My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancé” and “Joe Millionaire.”
