A Seasonal Efficiency Guide Using the RainPoint Smart Irrigation Kit

In partnership with Baldr Electronic

Keeping your garden vibrant shouldn't mean overwatering, guesswork, or wasting resources. With shifting weather and rising utility costs, now is the time to upgrade your garden routine with precision and peace of mind.

This guide will show you how to use the RainPoint Smart Irrigation Kit—available through Baldr Electronic—to water efficiently, save time and money, and help your plants thrive year-round.

💧 Why Upgrade to Smart Watering?

Outdated watering habits can lead to:

Overwatering, which causes root rot and fungal growth
Underwatering, which leads to plant stress and slow growth
Water waste, especially during hot midday hours

The RainPoint Smart Irrigation Kit—powered by Baldr—lets you automate watering based on your needs, plant types, and local conditions. The result? A healthier garden with zero overthinking.

📍 How to Use Your Smart Irrigation Kit

1. Install at the Faucet
Connect the timer between your hose and outdoor spigot. No tools. No hassle. Just twist and go.

2. Set Your Watering Plan
Choose how often, how long, and what time of day to water. Set and forget—or tweak anytime.

3. Use Multiple Zones (Optional)
Tailor watering for plant types: veggies, flowers, and drought-tolerant beds can each get what they need.

4. Adjust Weekly
Keep an eye on the weather and season. Quick adjustments ensure efficiency without constant oversight.
