New Irrigreen system uses excessive water (3200 gallons for 4 zones in 6 hours), raising concerns about high monthly water bills compared to traditional sprinkler systems.

The Irrigreen system's water usage seems disproportionately high for the coverage area, and the user lacks tools to compare efficiency or optimize scheduling to reduce consumption.
