Water Efficiency

Smart Water Use for Wildfire Defense

At Platypus Sprinkler, we are committed to helping homeowners protect their properties from wildfires while using water responsibly. Our systems are designed to deliver targeted protection only when it’s needed—ensuring minimal waste and maximum impact.

That’s why we are proud to be part of the SmartDrop Certified network, a program that highlights products and technologies that meet strict standards for water efficiency and responsible irrigation practices. You can learn more about the SmartDrop program and its mission to promote smarter water use at www.smartdropcertified.org.

Wildfire systems that waste water during activation not only reduce local supply but may also underperform during an emergency. Our SmartDrop Certified controller ensures water is used precisely where and when it’s needed—without unnecessary cycles or manual intervention. This kind of performance matters most in fire-prone areas like California, where every drop counts.

Our wildfire sprinkler systems and controllers are SmartDrop Certified, meaning they:
