The Package

Everything Included in One Visit

No piecemeal fixes. One professional visit upgrades your entire system to be drought-compliant and water-efficient.

Wi-Fi Smart Controller

Weather-based scheduling that auto-adjusts or skips based on rain — and works around your local watering-day rules.

High-Efficiency Nozzles (all zones)

Multi-stream MP Rotator nozzles that cut water use up to 30% vs. standard spray heads — and qualify for nozzle rebates.

Local Schedule Programming

Your controller is configured for your exact address, watering days, and prohibited hours — out of the box, fully compliant.

Rain Sensor Included

Wired rain sensor prevents your system from running during or after rain — required by many districts and rebate-eligible in Aurora.

Rebate Paperwork Guidance

We provide your invoice, product model numbers, and installation date — everything your water district needs for a rebate application. You submit directly to your district and collect your savings. Irrivive charges standard retail pricing; rebates are approved and paid by your water district independently.

Cycle-and-Soak Programming

We configure shorter run cycles with soak periods for Colorado clay soil — less runoff, deeper roots, better coverage.

Why Now

Drought Restrictions Are Here. Your Old System Isn't Ready.

Standard spray heads waste up to 50% of the water they put out. In a drought year where violations start at $250, an inefficient system isn't just wasteful — it's a liability.

Overspray = Violation

Traditional spray heads mist water that evaporates or blows onto pavement. That's not just waste — it's a code violation in every district we serve.

Wrong Schedule = Fine

A controller that wasn't reprogrammed for 2026 restrictions will run on the wrong days. Aurora Stage 1: 2nd offense is a $250 fine. Denver: leaks must be repaired within 10 days.

Rebates Expire

Aurora's Resource Central program is first-come, first-served. Highlands Ranch rebates are limited per season. Waiting until fall means missing this year's available funds.

How Rebates Actually Work
1

You pay Irrivive standard retail pricing for all parts and labor — just like any professional installation.

2

After the work is done, we provide you with your invoice, product model numbers, and installation date — everything your water district requires for a rebate application.

3

You submit the rebate application directly to your water district. They review and approve it independently.

4

Your district sends you the rebate check or credit. The savings go straight to you.

Important: Irrivive is not affiliated with any water district rebate program. Rebate approval, amounts, and availability are determined entirely by your water district — not by us. We cannot guarantee approval or payment. Program availability and funding are subject to change without notice. Always apply within your district's stated deadline (typically 90 days from installation date).
