Location: Wimauma, Florida
Client: Valencia Lakes POA
Market: Residential Community
A community POA that needed to make a significant investment due to years of constant interruptions to water supply, high repair costs, and a lack of control over their irrigation system.
A massive, extensive, and costly triple sled submersible system with nine pumps that lacked adequate control and was expensive to maintain. A primary irrigation source dependent on replenishment from several sources.
To replace the complexity, expense and unreliability of the existing system with a solution that was reliable, consistent. We would bring them into Hoover's world with a proven pump station design that was efficient to run and easy to manage.
Designing and building a new 3,000 gallons per minute pump station using our successful quad design. Developing and installing separate "campus controls" to manage the complex, interconnected water refill sources.
Uninterrupted water supply since the installation and the elimination of high repair costs. Increased system visibility and control via Flowguard, providing comprehensive management for the different water sources.
Valencia Lakes is a substantial residential community of some 1,647 homes, managed by a Property Owners Association (POA).
From our client's perspective, the primary project goal was to replace Valencia Lakes' existing massive, extensive, and costly irrigation pump station that was proving expensive to maintain and lacked adequate control.
The community was pushed to make a significant investment due to years of pain, high repair costs, and a lack of control over their irrigation system. They sought a solution that would provide reliability, consistency, and eliminate the need for constant, expensive repairs, particularly for the system's complex water sources.
Since the installation Valencia Lakes has experienced uninterrupted water supply. The new pump station and Hoover Flowguard provide reliable performance and complete control over their complex water sources.
The Hoover Team
The Valencia Lakes irrigation system installation successfully navigated significant hurdles posed by complex legacy infrastructure. The prior system was a costly triple-sled submersible setup with nine pumps, frequently incurring repair costs.
The project's complexity was compounded by the primary water source from a lined lake reliant on external replenishment, demanding intricate control logic. Mid-project, the scope expanded to integrate controls for the reclaimed water and well refill systems.
This project exemplifies our commitment to providing long-term, reliable irrigation solutions that stand the test of time, giving clients peace of mind and better tools to manage their operations.
The Hoover Team
Our plan to meet the project goals was fundamentally to remove, replace, and support.
Working to a challenging, technically specific RFP, our response for the execution of the plan included:
They're free from the constant maintenance and high costs of the previous system.
The Hoover Team
The infrastructure overhaul began with the removal of the existing massive and problematic submersible pump system and all associated controls. Project execution required adapting to significant external challenges, such as hurricane-related delays and persistent parts procurement issues stemming from post-COVID disruptions. These challenges necessitated redesigning layouts to ensure project continuity. Despite this, the new pump station was successfully installed and fully operational in October 2022, coming online within just a few days. Addressing the client's evolving requirements, dedicated control systems for the reclaimed water and well refills were subsequently designed and installed in December 2022. The successful installation was completed by conducting our regular Flowguard training and introduction to their new system.
The overall project execution involved the following:
The new irrigation system at Valencia Lakes has not only met its project goals but has significantly enhanced the community's water management. Since its installation in late 2022, the system has provided an uninterrupted and reliable water supply, completely eliminating the high repair costs that were a frequent burden with the previous setup. This consistency, combined with timely and responsive support from the Hoover team, has provided the client with much-needed peace of mind.
A key achievement of the project was the comprehensive control gained through the new Flowguard system. The technology now manages three distinct water sources—reclaimed water, well, and transfer—alongside the pump station and filter, ensuring optimal water availability for the entire community. This increased visibility and control are easily managed through the Flowguard app, putting vital data directly in the client's hands.
The sheer scale of the community’s water consumption, with Flowguard data recording usage of over 38 million gallons a month at times, highlights the system’s robust performance. It handles this massive quantity effortlessly, demonstrating its capacity and efficiency.
