HOMEOWNERS PROTECT PROPERTY INVESTMENTS AND SAVE MONEY WITH WEATHERTRAK SMART IRRIGATION

Builders Select WeatherTRAK to Deliver Sustained Value to Homeowners

PCBC Conference, Booth 7621, San Francisco, CA, June 21, 2006 – HydroPoint Data Systems, Inc. (www.weathertrak.com), the proven leader in smart irrigation management, today announced that customers of its WeatherTRAK controllers are collectively saving an estimated 200,000,000 gallons of water each year. WeatherTRAK customers across the U.S. and Canada are achieving commensurate water bill savings and improving landscape appearance by optimizing landscape watering. Shea Homes, Christopherson Homes and other leading builders install WeatherTRAK controllers in model homes, single-family homes and common area landscapes to help homeowners protect property investments, and to support environmentally sensitive development and sustainable construction.

Landscapes, which contribute an estimated 15 percent to home values, are vulnerable to damage caused by common overwatering. WeatherTRAK optimizes watering by automatically adjusting schedules when weather conditions and plant needs change, yielding thriving gardens while protecting hardscapes and local environments from water runoff. More than 20 independent studies prove that WeatherTRAK reduces water use by up to 59 percent and runoff pollution by as much as 71 percent.

Amy Christopherson Bolten, public relations director for Christopherson Homes of Santa Rosa, CA, selected WeatherTRAK to irrigate the lush turf and perennials at its corporate campus and a nearby project for Habitat for Humanity.

“The WeatherTRAK units are generating a lot of excitement at Christopherson Homes,” said Bolten. “We’re conserving water and enjoying great-looking green lawns.”

WeatherTRAK, the only smart controller product line proven by the EPA to virtually eliminate runoff pollution, has outperformed all other smart irrigation systems in studies conducted by a broad range of public and private organizations, including:
