Why Hunter Hydrawise is Marco Island's Ultimate Smart Irrigation Solution

Submitted by: www.localprolandscaping.com

 

Living in Marco Island is a paradise of sunshine, saltwater breezes, and stunning landscapes. But this beautiful environment also presents unique challenges for your irrigation system. Between the sandy soil that drains too quickly, salty air that corrodes equipment, and seasonal weather shifts, managing your lawn watering can feel like a constant battle.

If you're still adjusting your irrigation timer manually, you're not just wasting time—you're likely wasting hundreds of gallons of water and risking the health of your expensive landscaping.

After years of installing and servicing systems across Marco Island, from the estates of Hideaway Beach to the homes in Old Marco, one solution consistently stands out for its intelligence, durability, and sheer water-saving power: the Hunter Hydrawise Smart Irrigation Controller.

What is a Hunter Hydrawise Controller?

Think of Hydrawise as the brain of your irrigation system. It’s a Wi-Fi enabled smart controller that completely automates your watering schedule based on real-world conditions. It replaces your old, complicated box with a simple, powerful system you control from your smartphone, tablet, or computer—whether you’re on your couch or cruising the Gulf.

5 Reasons Hydrawise is Perfect for Marco Island Homes

1. Superior Water Conservation = Lower Bills

Marco Island has specific water conservation ordinances, and wasting water is costly. Hydrawise uses local weather data and Forecast Watering to automatically adjust your schedule.

• How it works: If it rains on the island, Hydrawise skips your next scheduled cycle. If it’s unusually humid or windy, it reduces runtime. This can slash your water usage by 20-50%, paying for the system itself in just a few seasons.

2. Unbeatable corrosion resistance.

Standard irrigation timers are not built for our salty, humid marine environment. Internal components can corrode, leading to failure.

• How it works: Hydrawise controllers are built with sealed, waterproof components and coated internals designed to resist the corrosive effects of salt air, ensuring reliability season after season.

3. Remote Control from Anywhere

Are you a seasonal resident? With Hydrawise, your Marco Island home’s irrigation is never out of sight or out of mind.

• How it works: The free app lets you start, stop, or adjust watering from anywhere in the world. No more asking neighbors to fiddle with a confusing timer. You have full control in the palm of your hand.

4. Advanced Leak & Flow Detection

A leaking valve or broken sprinkler head can waste thousands of gallons and cause significant damage before you even notice it.

• How it works: When paired with a Hunter Hydrawise Flow Sensor, the system monitors water flow in real-time. If it detects a flow irregularity consistent with a leak or break, it can automatically shut down the system and send an immediate alert to your phone, potentially saving you from a huge water bill and landscape repair.

5. Effortless Management for Sandy Soil

Marco’s sandy soil requires the "cycle and soak" method to prevent water runoff and ensure deep root hydration.

• How it works: Hydrawise makes this easy. You can easily program multiple short cycles with soak periods in between, ensuring every drop of water is absorbed effectively by your lawn and plants.

"Is Hydrawise Compatible with My Existing System?"

In most cases, yes! A huge benefit of Hydrawise is its retrofit capability. Our certified technicians can typically replace your old timer with a Hydrawise controller without needing to replace your entire irrigation system. It’s a smart upgrade that brings old systems into the 21st century.

A Marco Island Case Study: Peace of Mind Achieved

We recently installed a Hydrawise system with a flow sensor for a seasonal resident on Key Marco. Two weeks after installation, while the homeowner was up north, they received a critical alert on their phone: the system had detected a massive, continuous water flow and had automatically shut down.

We were dispatched and found a cracked valve on a back zone, silently flooding a landscaped area. Because of the instant alert, we repaired the valve before any damage was done to the plants or hardscape, and before thousands of gallons were wasted. The homeowner’s reaction: "The system just paid for itself ten times over."
