Thankfully, we’re making quite a name for ourselves here in the Mooresville and the Lake Norman area. Our clients love the fact that we’re keeping their lawns and landscape in tiptop shape and not wasting water! It’s our clients that are primarily responsible for recommending us to their friends and neighbors for their sprinkler system installation needs.
As we grow our Conserva Irrigation water conservation business replenishing lawns and gardens, potential new customers ask about our longevity and how we do what we do.
Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we receive.
Who Founded Conserva Irrigation, When and How Long Ago?
Great question, with an interesting history behind it.
Landscape lighting professionals Russ Jundt and Tom Olson saw the proverbial light bulb go off while digging underground pathways to install low voltage wiring.
That same disciple and skill set is also the foundation to install irrigation sprinkler systems. Hence, in 2010, Conserva Irrigation was born, with a credo to never, ever waste water – one of our most precious natural resources.
The truth is, Russ and Tom founded Conserva to directly address the waste that most irrigation systems generate. This philosophical point of view was the primary motivation behind the nation’s extraordinary irrigation franchise.
Conserva was and remains the only irrigation company founded solely on the principle of conservation. Combining technology, water dynamic studies and environmental concerns, we work tirelessly to make water conservation economically feasible.

What Kind of Hardware and Systems do You Install?
At Conserva Irrigation, we use cutting-edge irrigation technology to optimize water usage, ensuring your landscape receives just the right amount of water when it needs it.
Our Smart Irrigation Systems, which include weather-based controllers and moisture sensors, automatically adjust watering schedules. It’s all based on local weather, soil moisture levels, and plant needs.
By leveraging real-time data, we avoid overwatering during rain and ensure proper hydration during dry spells. This precision conserves water while maintaining a healthy, vibrant landscape.
The heart of our irrigation systems is the Hunter Hydrawise Wi-Fi Controller. Ours is the most advanced sprinkler system on the market. This system uses real-time local weather data to automatically adjust your watering schedule, so your yard gets watered only when it’s needed — and never when it’s not. Never be that house with the sprinkler system running in a rain storm!
Also interesting in 2024, The Toro Company named Conserva Irrigation as the Water Smart Partner of the Year. And in 2025, The Irrigation Association bestowed its Innovative Award to our company. The citation reads “For making tangible contributions to irrigation through innovative work that advances the industry and improves the wise use of water resources.”
In addition to not wasting water, other significant benefits include:
- It significantly reduces your water bi
- It provides remote access from any Smart device (phone, tablet, etc.) to conveniently manage your system from anywhere, anytime.
- Our flow sensor sends instant alerts in the event of a major fault in the system, like a leak
- Our team monitors your system for proactive resolution to issues saving precious water and preventing significant damage.
Do You Offer a Warranty?
Yes, we sure do. In fact, we offer the longest system warranty in the industry when you use Conserva to maintain your installation. And it’s for five (5) years.
We can do this because we use the best products in the industry and install using tried and true techniques, not shortcuts to pinch a penny.
Exactly How Much Water is Wasted by Conventional Irrigation Systems?
The American Water Works Research Foundation reports that residential water use for a single family residence is not that significant day to day. A study by Mecklenburg county has found that 40% of county water is used for irrigation. There’s a great opportunity to do your part and optimize water usage.
But it’s quite a different story when it comes to outdoor sprinkler systems. A high performing system can reduce water consumption by up to 60% from a conventional budget system. Over the life of the system that’s hundreds of thousands of gallons or thousands, possibly tens of thousands, of dollars.
In fact, nationally, irrigation waste accounts for up to a staggering 1.5 billion gallons of water a day. Conserva was specifically founded to alleviate this unnecessary and senseless waste.
I Heard That You Champion Innovations in Technology – How So?
Combining the latest in conservation technology and design, our irrigation solutions are the result of considerable study in water dynamics, environmental concerns, and best horticultural practices.
We’ve also worked hard to make water conservation economically feasible. In fact, most customers who upgrade with us enjoy 100% payback in less than three years, and our typical upgrades reduce water use by 40 to 60%.
Are Your Conservation Lawn Irrigation Specialists Licensed And Certified?
Yes, proudly so, after receiving the finest training and hands-on experience possible.
When you rely on our team, you gain access to these services and more. Everything about our locally owned and operated sprinkler installation and repair company focuses on providing lasting and satisfying results.
What is the Best Time to Water My Lawn?
The best time to water is early in the morning between 2:00 am and 5:00 am, when the wind is negligible. This helps to prevent water from evaporating, plus you get the added moisture from the dew, which can help you save even more money.
Having your system run in the morning also helps prevent lawn disease because it gives your lawn a chance to dry as the day progresses.
In addition, the best time to water your lawn is determined by several factors:
- Rate of evaporation
- Temperature
- Wind
- Humidity (including dew)
- Lawn diseases
- Municipal laws (watering restrictions)
