NMG conserves water by stopping the flow of water through broken landscape irrigation systems. Systems with NMG installed do not pour precious water down the drain every time they experience a break.
We have all seen those “geysers” that occur when a sprinkler head gets broken off. In irrigation systems with NMG installed, when a sprinkler head gets broken off or a head gets impacted so that the riser breaks, the NMG valve is engaged and the water shuts off.
Many
landscape irrigation systems are set on automatic timers to turn on
early in the morning or late at night. In these systems, a “geyser” may
go unnoticed for days or weeks or even longer. When breaks go
unnoticed, water flows freely from the system. This free flow of water
may runs off of your property and into the storm drain at the end of
the street. An undetected break often wastes as much as 750 gallons
every time the system turns on.
In our testing, we showed that systems with NMG installed experienced a 65% savings in water over systems without NMG.
