There's A Smarter Way To Manage Your Irrigation - Hoover Flowguard

We've been building some of the industry's most innovative and reliable irrigation pump stations for over 40 years.

Back in 2003, we recognized that many of our clients would benefit from intelligent water management software: advanced tech that would allow them to monitor their pump station’s performance, pinpoint issues with their irrigation systems and make informed decisions that save time and money. This realization led to the development and deployment of Hoover Flowguard – best-class irrigation software that we've been optimizing and improving for almost two decades.

Scalable by design, Flowguard is equally at home on 190 acre golf courses, multi-field sports complexes, 2000-home residential developments and entire cities!

Automated pump station controls and real-time reporting make it easy to conserve water.

Hoover’s service team along with Hoover Flowguard are so valuable to an owner because they protect the capital investment, pump, irrigation system piping and landscaping. Thank you for looking out for the best for long term use of our system!

Real-Time Updates At The Touch Of A Button

There's nothing worse than waking up to find that a mainline break has washed out one of your most important roads, or getting a barrage of angry emails from residents with non-functional irrigation systems.

Flowguard is on duty round the clock; allowing you to monitor your system via a real-time dashboard. Using Flowguard, you'll also be able to access data from previous water cycles, monitor your water use and view detailed diagnostic data for unusual events like power failures, problems with rapid cycling or periods of high water usage.

Unrivaled Hoover Customer Support And Training

With a dedicated learning portal for Flowguard, you’ll get 24/7 access to training videos and tutorials – as well as detailed support, guidance and advice that’s designed to help you get the most from your irrigation system.

We’ll also be right by your side every step of the way. Flowguard is also monitored by Hoover’s in-house support team and we’ll always be there to flag any major issues, explain any complex problems and help you maintain the efficiency and effectiveness of your irrigation system.

Irrespective of whether you're an irrigation contractor, golf course superintendant or HOA board member, we understand that learning to use unfamiliar irrigation software can be challenging, which is why we try to be as hands-on as you want us to be – providing all the expertise, help and support you need to effectively manage your system. You don't have to be an irrigation expert to use Hoover Flowguard, and that's by design.

Intelligent Automation to Manage Your Pump Station

Flowguard is designed to take the stress out of managing your irrigation pump stations. It provides 100% visibility and control of your irrigation system 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

For communities and service providers alike, Flowguard offers simple, user-friendly tools to help with water management. You'll be able to see when and where you’re using water, how your pump stations are running and whether there are any problems with your system.

All Data Saved In The Hoover Cloud

More importantly, Flowguard gives you access to the detailed, time-stamped data needed to actually start diagnosing and repairing issues. Say you wake up to find that your overnight water usage was 2x higher than you were anticipating: With Flowguard, you’d be able to access cloud-based data about everything from pump cycle times to minute-by-minute flow rates, which is exactly what you need to start figuring out what went wrong.

You’d also be able to shut the system down remotely while you called in your irrigation contractor, and Flowguard will also keep an eye on things that you might not think to monitor, like water salinity, and you can use the software to generate a host of automated reports.

Log In And Manage Your System From Anywhere

Nobody wants to race back to their pump station every time they need to adjust their irrigation schedule or check up on their flow rates. More to the point, you never want to find yourself wondering whether your system’s fully functional or currently struggling with an undetected mainline break.

No Surprises

Leveraging the Hoover Cloud, Flowguard allows you to log into your dashboard and manage your irrigation from any laptop, phone or tablet – putting you in full control of your system. You'll feel confident and assured that you have full visibility of events likely to affect the efficiency of your irrigation - whether that's pump or fitting failures, loss of incoming power or a simple rain sensor reset.

Manage All Your Properties From One Dashboard

The overwhelming majority of Flowguard customers are only managing one or two pump stations, but for users responsible for overseeing multiple properties or irrigation systems, our all-in-one dashboard saves a lot of time and stress.

Instead of scrolling through drop-down menus or struggling to switch between different screens, Flowguard lets you see the status of every station in one, centralized location. You’ll be able to see the status of individual pumps at a glance, enjoy full visibility of any important notifications and see your recent water usage without rummaging through various reports.

It’s a smart feature designed to give back a bit of time. Time that you can spend doing something productive, or just enjoying your day.

Case Study

Bellaggio Residential Community

$40,000 in annual sod replacement? Gone. Constant mainline breaks and dying grass plagued this 560-acre community saddled with 24 inadequate builder-installed pump stations. We consolidated to 10 Flowguard systems with improved water intake, eliminating sand problems and delivering the dependably green landscape residents expect—at a fraction of the operating cost.

Alerts Direct To Your Mobile Device

Keeping on top of your irrigation isn’t easy. Irrespective of whether you’re running a small residential development, golf course or city like South-West Florida’s Wellen Park, you’ll be pulled in hundreds of different directions every day.

Important phone calls and last minute meeting requests are all-but guaranteed to get in the way of your day-to-day routine, and it’s all too easy to forget to log into your dashboard or check the status of your pump station.

Luckily, Flowguard has your back – sending you text or email alerts whenever something important happens. Using the system, you’ll be kept up to date with over 150 automated alerts for important events like:

Power Failures
High Flow Rate or Rapid Cycling
Low or High Water Usage
Smart Sensor Rain Shut-off and Restart

User-Friendly By Design

We know your time's precious, and that you don't want to spend hours fiddling around with complex irrigation management software. That's why Flowguard has a simple and intuitive interface, with clear graphics designed to let you monitor your system's health without digging into complicated reports.

Thousands of Flowguard customers tell us it's a painless experience, and hundreds of millions of dollars worth of landscaping depend on Flowguard, but don't take our word for it: book a demo and see for yourself!
