HYDROPOINT LAUNCHES WEATHERTRAK ET PRO COMMERCIAL IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT SOLUTION

The Landscape Industry Show, Booth #2005, Los Angeles, Calif., February 16, 2005 - HydroPoint Data Systems, Inc., the leading provider of smart irrigation management solutions, today announced the introduction of the WeatherTRAK® ET pro irrigation controller and WeatherTRAK.net™ Internet management service. With the launch of the combined WeatherTRAK ET pro solution, HydroPoint adds remote Internet management service to its proven, weather-based WeatherTRAK irrigation technology.

The WeatherTRAK.net Internet service enables central online management of WeatherTRAK ET pro controllers to provide landscape professionals with maximum efficiency and precision in commercial landscape irrigation. From any location with Internet access, WeatherTRAK ET pro customers log in to the secure, easy-to-use WeatherTRAK.net Web site to gain a central view of all ET pro controllers under their management. Via two-way wireless communication, WeatherTRAK customers receive real-time controller status readings and adjust the irrigation programs of single controllers or groups of controllers. Any change can be simulated before it is implemented.

“WeatherTRAK ET pro allows me to do more for my customers without expending more time and resources,” said Jerry Budnick, authorized WeatherTRAK ACE contractor and owner, Alternative Maintenance Services, Los Angeles, Calif. “Fewer site visits are necessary because WeatherTRAK.net lets me monitor and fine-tune irrigation online. WeatherTRAK has become an intrinsic part of my strategy for business growth because it cuts costs, boosts productivity and increases customer satisfaction.”

The WeatherTRAK product line is proven to yield water savings of greater than 50%, achieve as much as 95% of potential water savings and demonstrably improve plant health in independent, multi-year studies by water districts and independent agencies.

WeatherTRAK ET pro is the only commercial irrigation management solution that continually adjusts irrigation based on daily, evapotranspiration (ET) data, transmitted wirelessly via the WeatherTRAK ET Everywhere™ service. WeatherTRAK ET pro also includes the built-in Scheduling Engine™, which customizes irrigation schedules according to landscape-specific parameters and regional water usage requirements. WeatherTRAK’s unique combination of accurate irrigation programming and real-time ET data ensures that plants always get the water they need, when they need it.

“HydroPoint is firmly committed to meeting the needs of landscape professionals, water agencies and green builders with irrigation management solutions that improve landscape health, conserve water, cut costs and save time,” said Chris Spain, President and CEO of HydroPoint.

Based on the successful performance of the WeatherTRAK controller line in numerous agency and municipality studies, WeatherTRAK ET pro is eligible for commercial rebate and voucher programs in California, Nevada and Washington state. By subsidizing the cost of the WeatherTRAK ET pro solution, these programs accelerate return on investment for contractors and end users.
