UgMO PROHOME SOIL-SENSOR-SYSTEM

SAVES WATER, CASH FOR RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES

In Pilot Programs, New Wireless Technology Decreases Water Use by 30-50 Percent

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. (Sept. 2010) – In September, 95 percent of the country is recording drought or abnormally dry conditions. Conservation efforts are top of mind, and now, the struggle to manage water supplies is hitting consumer checkbooks, too. Efforts to conserve water are rightly focusing on the backyard where the majority of water use (nearly 70 percent) happens, and on the home irrigation systems that usually are managed by nothing more than a timer. Time for a change. UgMO Technologies – the leading developer of wireless, underground soil sensor technology – is bringing new intelligence to home irrigation with the launch of UgMO ProHome. A cost-effective, wireless water ‘watchdog,’ the UgMO ProHome soil-sensor-system works in conjunction with residential and small commercial irrigation systems to reduce water use and promote healthy plant growth on lawns and landscaped areas. Pilot residential programs have shown 30 to 50 percent water savings. “UgMO ProHome turns off the water when the ground is wet. It’s that simple. Homeowners and business owners simply have it installed, and then sit back and save gallons of water – and buckets of cash,” said Don Apruzzese, president of UgMO Technologies’ residential and commercial division. UgMO ProHome harnesses the same advanced sensor technology used in the UgMO ProTurf product, which launched in 2009 and today is at work underground at some of the nation’s most prestigious golf courses and sports turf facilities, including Merion Golf Club outside of Philadelphia; Arizona’s Desert Mountain Golf Club; and Miami’s Sun Life Stadium (formerly Dolphin Stadium), host of the 2010 Pro Bowl and Super Bowl XLIV. The ProTurf system saved hundreds of millions of gallons of water last year alone. How UgMO ProHome Works UgMO’s patent-protected smart sensors are placed underground in each sprinkler zone, to measure soil moisture and temperature at the root level (the most important point for the plant), in real time – up to six times an hour, 24 hours a day. These sensors wirelessly transmit data (up to 600 feet) on a zone-by-zone basis to an UgMO ProHome base station that’s installed next to a new or existing irrigation clock. Acting as the “brains” of the irrigation system, the base station determines when the grass and/or plantings have reached their optimum moisture level. If the ground is sufficiently moist, UgMO interrupts the sprinkler, turning it off before any water is wasted. The technology is totally wireless and easily installed by landscape or irrigation contractors. A typical six-zone system can be put in place in less than 60 minutes, with no special tools required.

Documented Water Savings UgMO ProHome was extensively field-tested in residential locations across the country. A seven-week pilot program in the Bentwater community in Montgomery, Texas, showed 41 percent water savings – or 10,261 gallons of water saved – at a test home using UgMO ProHome, versus a similar property without this smart technology. At Reynolds Plantation in Greensboro, Ga., UgMO ProHome recorded 53 percent water savings – or 10,676 gallons of water saved – over seven weeks. A nine-week pilot residential program at the Old Palm Golf Club in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., (March-May 2010) compared actual water use per week and showed 32 percent water savings – or 74,600 gallons of water saved – with UgMO ProHome. That equates to $180 savings per month. “No more overwatering during dry spells. No more sprinklers going off on rainy days. We’ve taken the guesswork out of when, where and how much to water,” said Apruzzese. “For homeowners and small business owners, UgMO ProHome is a simple and reliable, cost-effective water-saving solution that can pay for itself in as little as 12 to 18 months. It’s a win-win for consumers and for water conservation.” UgMO ProHome is now available through certified UgMO installers at an introductory offer of $399 for a two-sensor system.
