For over a decade, Hunter’s Hydrawise-enabled controllers have simplified smart irrigation management. Yet for many irrigation designers, the real-world value isn’t always fully recognized. Here's how specifying Hydrawise Software enhances water efficiency and strengthens your reputation as a forward-thinking, results-driven professional.
1. Proven Water Savings
Hydrawise-enabled Hunter controllers are EPA WaterSense® certified, meaning they meet strict performance standards for water efficiency. Users can achieve up to 50% water savings compared to conventional programming methods. Compatible models include the X2™ Controller with WAND Module as well as Pro-HC, HPC, and HCC Controllers, offering flexible options for residential, commercial, and institutional systems.
2. Intuitive App Navigation
Built on continuous user feedback, the Hydrawise App offers a clean, easy-to-navigate interface. Professionals and clients alike benefit from simple scheduling tools, actionable alerts, and at-a-glance system insights — all accessible from virtually anywhere.
3. Scalable for Professionals and User-Friendly for Enthusiasts
Whether you're designing for a commercial property manager or an engaged homeowner, Hydrawise Software supports a wide range of users:
- Professionals can remotely manage over 1,000 controllers, schedule grow-in periods, monitor system events, receive wiring alerts, generate water usage reports, and initiate manual irrigation, all without leaving the office.
- Homeowners and enthusiasts benefit from intuitive, image-based zone management and manual operation tools that don’t interfere with existing programs.
4. Predictive Watering® Technology
Hydrawise Software uses award-winning Predictive Watering, drawing on hyper-local data from The Weather Company and proprietary Virtual Weather Stations (VWS). This intelligent adjustment of run times based on real-time weather promotes optimal plant health while minimizing water waste.
5. Flow Monitoring and Leak Detection
Pairing Hydrawise-enabled controllers with the HC Flow Meter provides in-depth insight into system performance. This tool:
- Monitors flow at the zone and system level
- Provides detailed usage data through the Hydrawise App, similar to a utility billing report
- Functions as an irrigation submeter, identifying leaks and irregular consumption
Compatible with HC, HPC, Pro-HC, and HCC Controllers, the HC Flow Meter turns smart control into smart monitoring.
Specify Smarter, Deliver Better
Specifying Hydrawise-enabled controllers is more than a product choice. It’s a strategic decision that supports long-term system performance and sustainability. By equipping water managers with tools that are intuitive, accurate, and scalable, you’re not just designing irrigation systems, you’re building trust and protecting water resources. That’s what makes you a rockstar.
