Communities
PCBC Conference, Booth 7621, San Francisco, CA, June 21,
2006 – HydroPoint Data Systems, Inc. (www.weathertrak.com),
the proven leader in smart irrigation management, announced
today that it has launched the next generation of commercial
irrigation control systems, the WeatherTRAK ET Pro2™ series.
Richmond American Homes, Shea Homes and other leading builders
select WeatherTRAK solutions to maximize water conservation,
improve operating margins and enhance the “curb appeal” of their
model homes, single family homes and now, community common
areas.
“I knew from personal experience that WeatherTRAK was a
strategic fit for our company,” said Diana M. Hoard, director of
planning for Richmond American Homes. “WeatherTRAK has kept my
plants looking great and my water bills low over the past year.
I’m pleased to achieve these same results at Richmond American’s
common area landscapes.”
WeatherTRAK ET Pro2 extends the proven WeatherTRAK solution,
recipient of the first and only perfect scores on the entire
SWAT™ smart controller protocol, to landscapes with up to 48
irrigation stations. ET Pro2 simplifies large landscape
management by adjusting irrigation automatically based on daily,
local weather conditions. Like all WeatherTRAK controllers, ET
Pro2 includes built-in irrigation scheduling software and the
industry’s top-ranked, bilingual customer support. An Internet
management option delivers greater time savings through
centralized remote control over landscape watering.
The WeatherTRAK Professional Services group provides an array of
services that maximize cost savings, conservation and homeowner
satisfaction. Field-based WeatherTRAK product specialists
coordinate all aspects of WeatherTRAK implementation for model
home, single-family home and common area projects, including
reviewing irrigation system design plans, ensuring per spec
installation by subcontractors, training customer service
personnel and conducting follow-up visits. No other irrigation
manufacturer has previously provided this level of service.
To support the release of WeatherTRAK ET Pro2, HydroPoint has
unveiled new builder reward programs. Builders can pool their
purchasing power across divisions to lower operating costs, and
their discounts grow with cumulative purchases. In addition,
builders receive cash back when their WeatherTRAK controllers
are installed and activated at job sites. Interested builders
can enroll in the manufacturer’s rebate program online at
www.weathertrak.com/cashback.
Builders using WeatherTRAK meet or exceed regional legislation
requirements for irrigation devices, landscape water usage and
non-point source runoff pollution. WeatherTRAK controllers also
help builders qualify for green building programs such as LEED
for Homes, Build It Green and California Green Builder.
Additionally, WeatherTRAK is approved for all water
agency-sponsored smart controller rebates and subsidies.
