What BaseStation models do you support?

We program and manage the BaseStation 1000, 3200, and 3200S, along with communication modules, shared flow configurations, and full BaseManager cloud management.

Why is Irrigation Managers uniquely qualified for Baseline systems?

Our founder Jon Peters was Senior Vice President at Baseline Inc. from 2004 to 2018 and was directly involved in designing the BaseStation's features. We don't just operate this controller — we helped build it.

How much can a Baseline site save on water?

Many clients managing BaseStation sites see 50% or greater reductions in water use once flow management, soak cycles, and program structure are fully configured.

Do you manage BaseStation systems remotely?

Yes. We manage BaseStation systems remotely via BaseManager and Mobile Access nationwide, with on-site support available where needed.

Baseline BaseStation: Expert Management
From the People Who Helped Build It

Irrigation Managers has programmed hundreds of BaseStation controllers — the 1000, 3200, and 3200S. Our founder Jon Peters was Senior Vice President of Baseline Inc. from 2004 to 2018, directly involved in designing the features built into the system you're running today. We don't just know how to operate it. We helped shape it.

Why BaseStation Sites Need Expert Programming

Most BaseStation installations deliver a fraction of what the hardware can do — not because the controller is failing, but because the setup was never fully optimized.

Program Structure

The BaseStation supports 99 independent programs. How you segment your site determines whether you can adjust one area without disrupting everything else.

Zone-Level Flow Monitoring

When properly configured, the system detects leaks at zone level and shuts down just that zone — keeping the rest of your water window intact.

Soak Cycle Coordination

Properly configured soak cycles run other zones while one soaks — maximizing the window. Most operators never set this up because they don't see how features interact.

BaseManager Cloud Platform

Remote access and monitoring via Baseline's BaseManager cloud platform and Mobile Access app — configured with the right permissions for your team.

Performance Reporting

Monthly reports tracking water use against your site-specific goal. Documentation proving what changed and what it saved.

Team Training

Your team should open the phone app, see 'Program 8 = Varsity Field,' and act confidently. Clear naming makes the system usable for everyone.

Why Most BaseStation Sites Are Underperforming

BaseStation installations are set up once and never revisited. The result is a powerful system running on incomplete programming.

Programs Bundle the Wrong Areas Together

A school with two athletic fields and general landscape needs three separate programs — otherwise pausing for a game stops irrigation everywhere and catch-up becomes a crisis.

Soak Cycles Consume the Water Window

Soak cycles not configured to work with flow management burn through the entire window. Properly set up, the system runs other zones while zones recover.

Flow Monitoring Is Enabled But Not Calibrated

Flow rates and fault thresholds must match your site's actual GPM. Generic defaults produce constant nuisance alarms or silence during real problems.

Nothing Is Named or Documented

A substitute operator seeing 'Program 8' with no description is guessing. Guessing costs water and plant health every time.
