In order to qualify for local water saving rebates, they require either WaterSense or SWAT approved devices. Are you pursuing either of these for RM?

The rebate for buying an EPA WaterSense certified weather-based irrigation system is $250 for <1 acre in my city in CA, which would cover the cost of the unit. It's been a year, any reason it's not yet certified? Is it a very long process? Thank you very much.

I was just about to purchase the rainmachine and then I read through this thread. I chose to go with another product based on the lack of feedback from Green Electronics. You replied over a year ago and said you would let us know and despite multiple inquiries, you still havent provided an update. If you tell me you are going to do something then I expect you to follow through. If I were a customer and had questions or needed technical support, I could only assume I would never receive a follow up since you're unable to do so here.

Searched http://www.epa.gov/WaterSense/product_search.html and found Mini-8, HD-12, and HD-16 listed

I would love to buy this product, and my city is offering rebates from Water Sense products. Any update on this?

Can you give us a satus on your efforts to get this watersense approved? This is a significate rebate, for my area $390.

After doing my research on WaterSense/SWAT certified irrigation controllers, I've come to the conclusion that the EPA is only certifying those devices sold by dealers and professional installers. It's too bad for me since the rebate in our county is $380, and all the certified controllers cost much more without installation. Also, all the other controllers seems more primitive or require some sort of subscription to get access to weather data. I am going to wait until the spring before deciding on whether to get a RainMachine, upgrade my controller to a more modern (but not certified) unit, or just live with the existing controller a bit longer. RainMachine-- any updates or clarity on certification?

It's EPA WaterSense certified and covered by a rebate for me (http://socalwatersmart.com/images/PDFs/qualifying_list_wbics.pdf). The model number is actually SPK3-12 (http://www.rainmachine.com/products/rainmachine-touch-hd-12.html) so if you're looking for HD-12 and not finding it in the approved vendor list, that's why.

In theory, yes. But it would requite a Ton of mods. I would use the sca-301 for sumps only. If space is an issue, they make small, air-stone powered skimmers that don't require a lot of space. They work best if water level stays constant.

From my home work-yes, BUT I have since thrown both of them in the trash. I wrote a review that stated why but in the end the weight was off, to lite, the water passed through as fast as when the filter was bypassed and I felt the water was not properly filtered. In the end I spent a little more and bought a couple of Maytag brand which also fit our Kitchen Aid. And now the water flows at the same rate as when the refer was new.

One that doesn't use enough water to clean your clothes. I have a newer whirlpool top load and absolutely hate it. I do a couple of articles at a time and select the large load try to fool the sensor by having something stick up as high as possible just to make sure everything gets wet lol. I can use a pod if I put it in first. They will stain your clothes if you add them later. I did have a front load GE -HE that did a decent job. It went when we sold the house. Really miss it just toss in the pod and away you go!

We got our waterpik using save on foods rewards. It does not show it is a model 700W, but the bushes we got work great, bonus there was three brushes and all work great.

Yes it works great but can void the warranty. Rainsoft has their own version

Yes, they all require a separate pump that goes in the water. The model your looking at needs a pump that does 400-700 gph.....it's about $30 hope this helps!

A pump device would probably be the best option. I use a "First Need" water purification system when siphoning directly from a stream into a sterile, (non contaminated) water bottle or bag. The Sawyer mini I use in line with my camel back.

I don't think so. There would have to be some type of water refill regulation setup and I never read (or saw) anything about that.

I don't sell any. But the ones I bought work very well it's been 2 months since I have had them used them hiking in the wilderness worked very well. The water tasted better than the store bought I'm definatly buying at least 2 more. Hope this helps.

I also contacted ECO Smart and if you change all your water outlets to 1.5GPM, most are 2.5GPM it helps the unit and you save water on your bill. I install the same unit in my parents home with 1.5GPM water reducers on all faucets and showers, "No one noticed a difference in water pressure". You can get a 6 pack of water savers a Lowes for $30.

He would also need their Frontier Filter Pro to remove organic debris and large organisms. Treat the water then filter it. Also take any standard water bottle to treat the water and then attach the filter. The Frontier Filter Pro actually work much better as a drip filter without that dumb biteme device but you can remove it from the Pro version unlike the cheaper one. Everyone going to Africa, Mexico, etc. should have one.

I can't help you there, but you may find out on their website. I do know that their sprinkler is very durable and reliable and ours is running as I write. I believe I have tried them all and they were all found wanting except for Dramm.

our home was originally plumbed with a dedicated return and it lasted for 20 years. I have no idea if it would work without one. To me, recirc means it would have to have a dedicated return. Sorry, not much help.
