I could not be happier with my ET Manager. Since its installation, I have saved literally thousands of litres of water and therefore a sizeable, and welcome, chunk of change. Not only that, my landscape has never looked better. The system is fantastic and now that I’ve seen it in action, I don’t think I could live without it.

Note: These are the documented water savings during a typical irrigation season (May-Sept.) with Climate Controlled Irrigation compared to traditional timer based watering. Water cost savings are based on City of Calgary irrigation water meter rates of $1.3628/m³ in 2006, $1.44/m³ for 2007, $1.5313/m³ for 2008, and $1.6201/ m³ for 2009. City of Calgary irrigation rates are increasing to $1.7141/m³ for 2010 and $1.8136/m³ in 2011. ROI is based on water rates at the time and year of installation. Usage amounts have been converted from m³ to litres for demonstration purposes. ET losses in 2006 were 29% righter than average and July of 2007 was the hottest and driest month on record in 47 years. Residential dollar savings are based on 2009 City of Calgary Residential Water/Sewer rates of $1.8868/m³.
