I had one in all of my Florida locations. You could not grow the local grass, St Augustine, without one. They have periods down there where it can go dry for weeks especially outside summer proper. It is expensive as all get out to operate if you had a decent sized yard. I had the zones set to go 3 times a week for 45 min each zone and it cost about $200/MO. But good idea regardless. Never met anyone up here that has one.
