10 Reasons Why Rachio is the Leader in Smart Irrigation

Rachio’s watering controllers make irrigation simple, efficient, and eco-friendly.

Here’s why Rachio stands out as the leader in the smart irrigation market.

1. We Invented Smart Watering

Rachio’s systems use local weather data to automatically adjust watering schedules. We also take plant type, soil type, sun exposure and other variables into account to prevent over or under-watering.

And if you’re curious, Rachio holds several patents, here’s the one that started everything: US Patent #9,594,366.

2. Easy Installation and Setup

Setting up a Rachio Smart Sprinkler Controller is a breeze. Replace your old controller with your new Rachio, noting which wires go in which zones (a photo helps). Then set up your zones and schedule in the Rachio App. This usually takes less than 30 minutes.

3. Comprehensive Mobile App Control

Rachio’s highly-rated mobile app (iOS and Android) provides complete control over your irrigation system from anywhere. Adjust schedules, monitor your watering times, and receive instant updates all from your smartphone.
