Automated water systems use less water?

[equiqed]

I was on growonix and floraflex and they said an automated water system saves over 50% water versus a hand water system. Will a automated feed use 50-60% less water during the entire grow cycle?

If it sounds too good to be true..... I don't see anyway that you could save anywhere near that amount, with the exception of outdoor drip irrigation.

Hand watering I use more water than if I was to use my drip system, but not 50%

Spillage in between pots and excessive runoff are the major losses.
