The 2009 results are in.

They have been checked and audited.

And the winners are...the clients of ExactET

In what many consider to be a ‘wet’ summer, ExactET’s customers on average watered their landscapes only 34 times compared to 60 times for those people who still use conventional timer-based irrigation systems.

“We call ourselves Canada’s leader in climate controlled irrigation,” said Graham Duffy, Exact’s Chief Executive Officer, “and the results now in hand confirm we walk the talk.

“For obvious reasons – weather patterns, type of soil, condition of existing irrigation etcetera – we cannot tell people how long it is before they get their money back.  But what we do know is the vast majority of our clients have a return on investment of two years or less.”

Tonko Realty Advisors Ltd. converted more than 20 of their Calgary properties to climate controlled irrigation in 2009.

The combined average water savings at the Tonko properties is 44 per cent.

Rob Jollimore, Industrial Operations Manager for Tonko in Calgary, said, “We are very glad we moved to climate controlled irrigation. It performs exactly how the guys at ExactET told us it would. This means huge savings that we are able to pass on to our tenants. But just as important, it keeps the landscapes healthy and looking good.”
