Long Beach Green Living-Water Conservation

Long Beach Green Living-Water Conservation

 

Owners of Long Beach Homes have a unique opportunity to contribute to the environment, go green and conserve water. 

 

Long Beach Green LivingDid you know that most homeowners over water their lawns by 30% to 300%?  That's a whole lotta wasted water folks!  I have to admit, I've been guilty of doing this myself on occasion, it's just so nice to have a lush, green lawn and it shows a real pride in Long Beach home ownership.  With the economy in shambles and water in short supply and sporting a hefty price tag, now is a good time to think of creative ways to both conserve water and money in our Long Beach Homes. 

Cyber-Rain

Ric Romero of ABC Eyewitness News reports: Rob Patten of Agoura Hills lives on 3/4 of an acre.  His water bills have been coming in at over $300 monthly, a staggering number which made him decide to do something about it. After installing a new gadget called Cyber-Rain he has been able to reduce his monthly bill by about $100 and conserve a fair amount of water at the same time.  See How it Works.

 

 

Cyber Rain XCI is an 8 zone sprinkler system which claims to save homeowners 30% to 70% on their watering bills through the use of their PC and automatic weather updates from the Internet by automatically adjusting the amount of water usage based on weather and seasonal conditions.  It even provides the ability to check your water usage on your computer.  Ingenious!

 

Wireless Sprinkler Controller

 

Jonathan Neidnagel, CEO of Cyber-Rain claims that this system can pay for itself in 3 or 4 months.  Priced at about $295 this is not a cheap system, but may very well offer the best return on the investment and is a wonderful green contribution to the environment. Read more about this product and the effect it can have on our Southern California community over at the Cyber-Rain blog. 

 


A big thanks to my friend Joe over at the Sellsius Blog for finding this great gadget.
