Water Budgets
Determining a water budget is our first step to conserving water. Our budget is based upon “ET” – no not the alien, but Evapotranspiration. We can determine exactly how much water is needed.
Audits
Our audits include inspections of the controllers, water meters, backflow valves, station valves, sprinkler heads, drip lines, and all plant materials. Every audit comes with a water management plan and recommendations for improving the system and lowering water usage.
Technical Services
We install and program “Smart” cloud based irrigation controllers for golf courses, and common area landscapes. We also install other technical equipment used in advanced irrigation systems.
Management Services
Our water management services includes programming and oversight of the irrigation system. It can also include oversight of the maintenance and irrigation repairs.

Case Study
HOA in Scottsdale, AZ
We saved an HOA in Scottsdale, AZ $760K on irrigation equipment upgrades in 2019. Aqua Trac does not sell any equipment nor are we associated with any irrigation distributor or manufacturer. We always help our clients receive the lowest cost by having them purchase equipment directly from the distributor at a discounted rate that we negotiate for them. Besides the savings on equipment, we lowered their water usage and costs considerably.
