The Challenge
A condominium in Guelph had been experiencing consistently high water bills due to irrigation issues, such as malfunctioning valves that stayed open and sprinklers running during unnecessary weather conditions. With no system in place to manage these inefficiencies, the condominium was struggling with water costs far beyond their budget. They were even considering shutting down the irrigation system entirely to avoid further expenses.
Our Approach
Arizona Outdoor Solutions worked with the property management team to assess the existing irrigation system and identify the key factors contributing to the excessive water usage. We focused on understanding the system's weaknesses, including lack of control during valve malfunctions and the absence of weather-responsive programming. After gathering the necessary data, we proposed a tailored solution to regain control over water consumption and reduce costs.
Our Solution
Arizona Outdoor Solutions provided a comprehensive solution, installing a smart irrigation control panel that could adapt to weather conditions and only run when necessary. We also installed a flow meter to monitor real-time water consumption, giving the condominium the ability to detect any irregularities immediately. Additionally, a master valve was installed to automatically shut off the system in the event of a malfunction, preventing unnecessary water waste. This combination of technology ensured better control, improved efficiency, and the prevention of future water-related issues.
Our Result
The implementation of the smart control panel, flow meter, and master valve significantly reduced the condominium's water consumption, bringing their bills back in line with the budget. The real-time monitoring provided peace of mind, allowing the property management team to quickly address any potential issues before they became costly problems. As a result, the irrigation system remained operational, but in a much more efficient and controlled manner, saving both water and money.
