Rain Bird announces pair of partnerships

Rain Bird Corporation announced new partnerships with Spectrum Technologies and Watertronics, expanding the company's portfolio of soil data and pump monitoring solutions for golf course superintendents.

The new collaborations will help golf courses benefit from a broader range of agronomic insights — giving superintendents more choice and greater flexibility in how they monitor course conditions and make irrigation decisions.

Features of Rain Bird's new CirrusPRO integration partnership include:

Spectrum Technologies: Rain Bird CirrusPRO software now provides soil data integration from FieldScout TDR350. The integration will allow Spectrum customers the ability to view soil moisture readings within the CirrusPRO software to help turf managers make informed irrigation and hand-watering decisions across greens, tees and fairways.

Watertronics: Rain Bird CirrusPRO software now provides pump integration technology to Watertronics Pump owners. The integration will allow Watertronics customers the ability to view live flow and pressure pump data within the CirrusPRO software, improving irrigation system decisions.

"Golf courses face tremendous pressure to deliver excellent playing conditions while using water as responsibly as possible," said Stuart Hackwell, Rain Bird Golf business unit director. "By working with industry-leading organizations like Spectrum Technologies and Watertronics, we're ensuring that superintendents have access to the insights they need."

Integrations are in development, with additional details to be shared in the future.
