Overview
Common Problems from Unmonitored Irrigation Systems
Failing to properly monitor irrigation systems can lead to a range of costly and damaging issues. Wet, slippery sidewalks create safety hazards for pedestrians and visitors. Flooded landscapes result in wasted water, damaged plant material, and unsightly standing water. Erosion can compromise soil stability and damage surrounding areas. Water damage to pavements and buildings can lead to expensive repairs and structural problems. All of these issues stem from over-watering mistakes, leaks, pipe breaks, broken sprinkler heads, and electrical problems that go undetected.
How WeatherTRAK Alerts Help Prevent Water-Related Issues
WeatherTRAK alerts enable landscape maintenance professionals to avoid over-watering mistakes and stay on top of system problems before they cause significant damage. The alert system notifies users of leaks, pipe breaks, broken sprinkler heads, and electrical problems as they occur. Alerts are delivered via email or text message, ensuring that irrigation managers receive timely notifications regardless of their location.
Water Flow Sensors Provide Continuous Monitoring
WeatherTRAK water flow sensors give irrigation managers eyes on a site at all times, even when they cannot be physically present. This continuous monitoring capability means that any alert can be investigated and fixed as quickly as possible, minimizing water waste, property damage, and landscape problems. The system allows for remote oversight of irrigation operations across multiple sites.
Remote Control and Management Capabilities
WeatherTRAK puts irrigation controls in the palm of your hand, whether you are working from the office or traveling on the road. The system is powered by the highly secure HydroPoint cloud platform, enabling remote access to irrigation management tools from any location with internet connectivity. This remote capability ensures that irrigation managers can respond to alerts and make adjustments without needing to visit each site in person.
