Secure Your Water: Locking Hose Bibs & Sprinkler Timer Boxes

Stop Water Theft & Tampering: The Landlord’s Guide to Irrigation Security

For landlords and property managers, water is a constant source of anxiety. You are either worried about the cost of the water, or you are worried about the lack of it killing your expensive landscaping.

Whether it's a tenant turning off the sprinklers to save money on their utility bill, or a neighbor stealing water from an accessible hose bib, unsecured irrigation points are a liability. The solution is simple: Lock it up.

Problem A: The "Thrifty" Tenant

This is a classic scenario for duplexes and rental homes: The tenant pays the water bill, but the landlord owns the landscaping. In an effort to save $20 a month, the tenant turns the sprinkler timer off. Three weeks later, the lawn is dead, and the landlord is facing a $3,000 re-sodding bill.

The Solution: The Sprinkler Timer Lock Box.

Our AA-EB-ST1 is sized perfectly for residential-style controllers found on duplexes and rental homes. It allows you to set the schedule and lock it. Maintenance crews can still access it if you provide them a key or code, but tenants cannot alter the programming.

Secure Your Schedule

This unit is designed to deter tampering while keeping the controller accessible for authorized personnel.

Problem B: The Water Bandit

An unsecured hose bib (outdoor faucet) is an open invitation for theft. We've seen everything from neighbors filling their pools using a rental property's water, to transients using the faucet for bathing, to vandals simply turning it on and walking away, flooding the foundation.

The Challenge: Most hose bib locks require you to remove the hose every time you lock it. This is a nightmare for maintenance crews who need to leave hoses connected for daily use.

The Solution: The "Pass-Through" Hose Bib Enclosure.

Lock It With The Hose Attached

Our AA-HB Series features a unique removable bottom plate. This allows you to run a hose through the bottom and lock the box while the hose is still connected.
