Irrigation guides

How farm irrigation automation, remote control, meters, and California water records actually work. Each guide answers one question and links to the product page that matches it.

• What farm irrigation automation is

  Farm irrigation automation opens and closes field valves, starts and stops pumps, runs the schedule you set, and keeps metered water records.

• How farm irrigation automation works

  A field hub, valves and pumps, and a phone. The command is remote. The shut-off is stored on the device that is watering, and Close stays available.

• How to monitor irrigation water use

  Metered water is totaled as metered. An entered flow rate is labeled estimated. Water with neither stays not measured and is left out of the totals.

• Pump monitoring for farm irrigation

  See whether the pump is running, whether it is moving water, and that a hardware timer stops it when its run time is up, even with the link down. Wiring is confirmed on site.

• Agricultural irrigation scheduling

  Write the sets you already run. Zones that share a pump run in sequence. A soil sensor can start a run when moisture is below a level you set.

• Soil moisture and irrigation scheduling

  A soil sensor can start a run when it reads below a level the farmer sets, on top of the clock schedule you already wrote for that field.

• What SGMA is

  SGMA is California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act. Local basins and agencies set the rules. Metered records help a farm document use.

• Agricultural water records to keep

  Keep metered wells, estimated runs, district deliveries, fields, and water years in separate columns. Not measured stays out of the totals.

The commercial starting point is agricultural irrigation automation. California groundwater rules are on SGMA water monitoring.
