The Problem Most Commercial Sites Share
Rain Bird identified it plainly: the number one reason for contractor callbacks is an improperly programmed controller. The problem isn't the hardware — it's what was never configured.
Incomplete Programming Is the Norm
DIG Corp estimates most controllers overwater by 30% annually from basic programming errors alone. Advanced features — flow management, ET scheduling, hydraulic optimization, automated fault response — are rarely configured at all on most commercial sites.
Complete Programming Is Not Getting It Running
Complete programming means every feature is configured deliberately, tested to confirm it works, and documented so your team can understand and operate it. Program structure, flow calibration, ET inputs, soak cycles, alert routing, and naming — all done correctly, all tested.
Flow Monitoring Must Be Calibrated
Every major commercial platform supports flow monitoring. Flow limits, fault thresholds, and alarm responses must match your site's actual GPM profiles. Generic defaults produce nuisance alarms or silence during real problems. We calibrate and test the full alert chain for every managed site.
ET Inputs Require Site-Specific Data
Weather-based scheduling is only as accurate as the site data entered: plant types, head types, soil types, slope, sun exposure, and precipitation rates for every station or group. Enter generic defaults, get generic adjustments. Enter your site's actual data, get autonomous daily adjustments.
Deep Platform Expertise Across Every Brand
Our founder Jon Peters spent 14 years as SVP at Baseline Inc. and helped design features in controllers you may be running today. Across our team, we have factory training and hands-on programming experience on every major commercial platform that simply doesn't exist anywhere else.
Alert Routing & Documentation
Every platform sends alerts for flow anomalies, wire faults, rain shutdowns, and communication failures. Those alerts only matter if they reach someone who can act on them — and if thresholds distinguish real problems from normal variation. We configure, route, and test every alert.
