So implementing WaterDex still requires homeowner participation. Wouldn't a completely automated device be more effective?
Possibly, however automation and circumventing the homeowner does not address the entire problem, nor does it effect the type of behavioral change desirable for true sustainability. When we developed WaterDex, we were striving for a product that would have broad appeal, something that our neighbors, friends and families would not just be able to use, but something that they would be excited to use. For the vast majority of us, this means that the product has to be simple, convenient, and affordable. We applaud the development and ongoing innovation in weather-based controllers; we just don't see them as an affordable or practical tool for most of our neighbors, friends and families. On the other hand, everyone understands a dial, and we believe that in order for Water Districts and entire communities to achieve meaningful aggregate water savings, the entire community has to be on board. For this to occur, innovations must be simple, convenient and affordable. That said, we do offer a fully automated WaterDex solution that requires an Internet connection.
