HydroSense utilizes the experience acquired through years of commercial irrigation installations to competently and effectively provide solutions for new construction projects. From the initial concept and vision right through to substantial completion, HydroSense design deliverables include concise written specifications with professional  AutoCAD drawings, installation details, and site plans for each system we are charged with.  Our services are founded on the principles of efficiency and sustainability. Both our clients and the environment warrant this strict protocol.

Our remote irrigation system management and monitoring service is aimed at reducing the maintenance costs of property managers and facility superintendents who are faced with increasing labour and resource costs to maintain their irrigation systems.  With a dedicated manager assigned to your irrigation system operation, we have the ability to manage operations while your forces tend to other priorities. 

You wouldn't throw money in the trash, but when it comes to maintaining landscaping, many property owners are letting their money go down the drain. With rising water rates and increasing pressure from water purveyors and local municipalities to conserve water, there has never been a greater need to inspect every irrigation system under your care to see if they're working at their optimum. If you aren't performing a regular inspection of a property's sprinkler system, there's a good chance you're wasting water, and that means your money too.

Although over-watering has always been something people try to avoid, increasing water costs and water scarcity has brought this problem into the spotlight. No matter how efficient an irrigation controller’s watering schedule is it must take into account constantly changing weather conditions.  Unlike traditional irrigation controllers, which are really just timers, intuitive or smart controllers work by monitoring and using information about site conditions (such as soil moisture, rain, wind, slope, soil, plant type, and more), and applying the right amount of water based on those factors—not too much and not too little—to maintain healthy growing conditions.

Commercial office buildings in Canada are large consumers of water - using 19% of the total municipal water supply. The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is the largest user of water in a typical commercial building, largely due to the operation of cooling towers. Other main sources of water consumption in commercial buildings are domestic use (toilets and sinks), and irrigation for landscaping.

Do You Know...

• Most irrigation systems are less than 50% efficient, which means less than half of the water applied to the landscape is actually used by the plant material?  That's a lot of wasted water and money.
• There are new technologies which can turn your traditional irrigation system into a smart and intuitive irrigation system?
• With all the smart and intuitive irrigation technologies available (and there are plenty) designed to save as much as 50% of annual outdoor water use, the majority of new irrigation systems installed still don't use any.
• Municipal water rates in Ontario are scheduled to rise by an average of 9-11% over the next two years?
• Outdoor water use accounts for more than 50% of annual water use for the average consumer, commercial and residential?
• How much water you're using to irrigate your landscape?  Would you like to use less (we know you do)?
