Very factual and informative presentation. The challenge is to get the message out to the 90% of industry folks that are not interested. How can we do this?

Thats the rub. I saw a system yesterday that was so over pressurized it looked like a low flying cloud. The installer probably thought it was just fine.
Unfortunately, in most counties in Florida any irrigation system that has a backflow preventer and a rain sensor is accepted by the building department.
The dis-interested irrigation installers are not going to care until it hits their wallet.
The reason that I only do repairs is that I cannot compete on irrigation installations unless I install systems as inefficient as my competitors, which I refuse to do.
Although in general I am not a proponent of government regulation, in the case of water, I believe only mandatory water audits will change the current situation.
