    Hey friends, welcome back to The Sprinkler Nerd Show. Today, I want to take you down a slightly different path. This one’s not about technology. Not about sensors. Not even about irrigation. It’s about something more fundamental… something that shapes how we lead, how we teach, and how we grow. It’s about the power of not knowing. Have you ever noticed what happens when someone asks you a question? What do you do? You probably give them an answer. That’s what we’ve been trained to do. We associate knowledge with value. We think: if I have the answer, I’m helpful. I’m smart. I’m a good leader. But I want to challenge that today. What if giving the answer actually ends the conversation too soon? See, when we hand someone an answer, we’re closing a door. We’re wrapping it up. Putting a bow on it. Done. Solved. Move on. But growth doesn’t happen in the answers. Growth happens in the thinking. In the wondering. In the exploration of possibilities. So what if, instead of handing out answers like candy, we responded with questions? Imagine this: Someone asks you, “What should I do about this issue in the field?” And instead of launching into your best advice, you say: “What options have you considered?” “What’s the outcome you’re aiming for?” “What do you think will happen if you try that?” Now, suddenly, you’re not just giving a solution—you’re creating space for discovery. You’re not the answer key. You’re the guide. That’s leadership. That’s coaching. That’s power. Because when you help someone think—not just tell them what to think—you unlock something in them. You give them a skill they can use forever, not just an answer they’ll forget tomorrow. And here’s the twist: Not knowing isn’t weakness. It’s wisdom. It’s humility. It’s the birthplace of insight. So next time someone comes to you looking for an answer, try holding back. Ask a question instead. Keep the door open. Let the conversation breathe. Because the power of not knowing... might just be the greatest tool you have. Thanks for listening, and I’ll catch you next time.

    #183 - For Immediate Release, Patent US3808385
    2025/04/11

    For immediate release—breaking news, kind of.


    In this solo episode of The Sprinkler Nerd Show, Andy dives into what seems like a revolutionary product: a mechanical rain sensor that requires no batteries, no Wi-Fi, no firmware updates—just pure, functional design. It shuts off irrigation during rainfall and turns it back on when conditions dry out, all thanks to hygroscopic discs that expand and contract to trigger a simple switch.

    This device sounds like the newest drop in water-saving technology—until Andy reveals the twist: it's not new at all. In fact, it's based on US Patent 3,808,385, filed in 1972 and granted in 1974. That's over 50 years ago. And the core concept of the mechanical rain sensor hasn’t changed since.

    Andy breaks down how the device works, why it’s still effective today, and what it says about the pace of innovation in the irrigation industry. He challenges contractors and tech developers alike to ask the big question: why are we still using 1970s technology in 2025?

    Could we create a smarter, data-driven rain sensor that actually logs rainfall events, provides historical context, and informs better irrigation decisions? If so—why hasn’t anyone built it yet?

    Key Highlights:

    • Breakdown of how the moisture-responsive switch actuator works

    • Benefits for contractors: simplicity, reliability, zero maintenance

    • Installation and adjustment tips

    • Why the current state of rain sensors is a wake-up call

    • A challenge to the industry: let’s rethink how we track rain and respond to it

    Andy closes the episode with a call to action for all Sprinkler Nerds: always ask why. Why things work the way they do, why they've stayed the same—and how we can make them better.
