Why We Install Hunter Hydrawise Smart Irrigation Systems

With a smart controller, you do not have to manually turn off your sprinklers every time the weather changes. As Ottawa smart irrigation installers, we build many systems around the Hunter Hydrawise WiFi controller. It helps manage watering based on your yard, zones, and local weather instead of relying on a fixed timer.

  • Predictive Weather Sensors: Hydrawise connects to local weather data and can adjust or skip watering based on forecast rain, heat, and wind.
  • Smartphone Control: Run specific zones, pause schedules, or check your water usage from anywhere in the world using the intuitive Hydrawise app.
  • Flow and Leak Detection: With the right sensors installed, the system can send notifications if it detects unusual flow, helping you catch possible leaks or valve issues earlier.

Our Trenchless Sprinkler Installation Process

A professional sprinkler installation goes far beyond burying pipes. Our technical process is designed for proper head-to-head coverage, balanced pressure, and minimal disruption to your existing grass.

1. Pressure Testing

We calculate your home’s PSI and GPM to plan how many sprinkler heads each zone should support while keeping balanced water pressure.

2. Smart Zoning

We design the layout by segmenting your yard based on microclimates—separating sunny patches, shaded areas, slopes, and delicate garden beds.

3. Trenchless Plowing

We use specialized vibratory plows to pull water lines underground. This method helps reduce disruption to your existing lawn compared with open trenching.

4. Hydrawise Setup

We install the commercial-grade heads, mount your Hydrawise controller, connect it to your WiFi, and guide you through the smartphone app.

Precision Zoning and Sprinkler Heads

Poorly designed sprinkler systems often mix different types of heads on the same zone, creating uneven watering. We use the right commercial-grade Hunter components for the right areas:

  • Rotors for Large Turf: Shooting a single, powerful rotating stream for large, open grass areas.
  • MP Rotators for Slopes: High-efficiency nozzles that deliver multiple streams at a slow rate. These are perfect for Ottawa’s heavy clay soils to prevent runoff.
  • Drip Lines for Gardens: Porous tubing laid directly in your garden beds. It waters the roots of your plants directly and helps reduce water loss from evaporation or overspray.
