If you’re one of the many millions of responsible Americans out there who have been sheltering in place for the better part of the past 2 months, it might seem like time has been standing still lately. Step outside for a few minutes, however, and you can confirm that warmer weather is finally upon us. That doesn’t mean quite what it used to since we all still have to quarantine indoors as much as possible right now. If you own a home with a sprinkler system though, it means it’s time to fire it back up.
Times have been pretty tough lately, so perhaps it’s high time you treated yourself to a bit of a treat. In this case, we’re talking about an awesome system that adds smart features to your sprinkler system and saves water (and therefore money) in the process. All four current-generation versions of Rachio’s smart sprinkler controller — the Rachio 3 8-zone model, the Rachio 3 16-zone model, and the entry-level Rachio 3e 8-zone and 16-zone models — are on sale right now at the lowest prices of 2020. Wondering what the differences are between the 3 and the 3e? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. From Rachio’s forum:
