What's Included in the Smart Tech Package
HPC-400 Hydrawise WiFi Controller
Hunter HPC-400+ controller — 4-station base model with Hydrawise cloud platform, plastic wall-mount cabinet, 120 VAC. Expandable up to 48 stations.
HC-075-FLOW Meter Installation
Hunter HC Flow Meter installed on your mainline for precise flow measurement, leak detection, and automatic shutoff when abnormal flow is detected.
Mainline Connection & Calibration
Professional mainline tap, plumbing connections, and full system calibration to ensure accurate flow readings from day one.
Leak Detection Setup
Flow monitoring thresholds configured so the system alerts you — and can automatically shut off — if a leak or burst pipe is detected.
Real-Time Flow Monitoring Activation
Hydrawise app configured with your account. Monitor water usage by zone, receive push notifications, and manage your system from anywhere.
Full System Programming & Testing
All zones programmed with plant types, sun exposure, and soil data. System tested and verified before we leave. Valve box enclosure for discreet flow meter installation.
Smart Features That Protect Your Property
24/7 Flow Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of water flow through every zone, day and night.
Leak Detection Alerts
Instant push notifications when abnormal flow is detected — catch leaks before they cause damage.
Automatic Shutoff
System can automatically shut off water supply when a leak threshold is exceeded (when configured).
Water Usage Tracking
Detailed reports on water consumption by zone, week, and month to optimize your schedule.
Remote System Management
Control every zone from your phone. Adjust schedules, run zones manually, or pause watering from anywhere.
Weather Intelligence
Hydrawise connects to local weather data and automatically skips or adjusts watering based on rain and temperature.
Why Upgrade to a Smart Controller?
Smart irrigation controllers revolutionize landscape watering by automatically adjusting schedules based on real-time weather data, soil moisture, plant types, and sun exposure. Unlike traditional timers that run on fixed schedules regardless of conditions, smart controllers skip watering after rain, reduce run times during cool weather, and increase watering during heat waves — all automatically. The result is healthier landscapes using 30–50% less water, translating to $50–150 in monthly savings during Phoenix summers. Adding a flow meter takes it further: you get real-time leak detection and usage tracking that protects your property and your water bill.
Dramatic Water & Cost Savings
Smart controllers reduce water usage by 30–50% compared to traditional timers by eliminating unnecessary watering. In Phoenix where summer water bills often exceed $300 monthly, smart controllers typically save $50–150 per month during peak season. The system pays for itself within 12–18 months through utility savings alone. Many Arizona municipalities offer rebates of $100–200 for smart controller installations, further reducing payback time while conserving our desert water resources.
Weather-Based Intelligence
The Hydrawise platform connects to local weather stations and national weather services, accessing real-time data on temperature, rainfall, humidity, and wind. The system automatically skips watering after rain, reduces run times during cool periods, and increases watering during heat waves. Advanced evapotranspiration (ET) calculations factor in plant water use, sun exposure, and soil type to determine precise watering needs — preventing overwatering while ensuring adequate moisture during stress periods.
Remote Access & Control
Control your irrigation system from anywhere using the Hydrawise app for iOS and Android. Start or stop zones remotely, adjust schedules while traveling, and receive instant notifications of system problems. The HPC-400's cloud-based platform ensures reliable connectivity and gives you complete visibility into your irrigation system — whether you're at home or across the country.
Flow Monitoring & Leak Protection
The HC-075-FLOW meter adds a critical layer of protection. It measures water flow in real time, alerting you the moment something abnormal is detected — a burst pipe, a stuck valve, or a broken head. When configured for automatic shutoff, the system can stop water flow before significant damage occurs. This feature alone can save thousands in water damage and landscape repair costs.
Our Smart Tech Package Installation Process
System Assessment & Equipment Review
We evaluate your current system, count zones, assess Wi-Fi coverage at the controller location, and confirm the mainline access point for the flow meter. We review the HPC-400 and HC-075-FLOW specifications with you and answer any questions before we begin.
Controller & Flow Meter Installation
We remove your old controller, mount and wire the new HPC-400 (plastic wall-mount cabinet, 120 VAC), and install the HC-075-FLOW meter on your mainline. All wiring is properly labeled. The flow meter is enclosed in a valve box for a clean, discreet installation.
Mainline Connection, Calibration & Leak Detection Setup
We connect the flow meter to the mainline, calibrate it for accurate readings, and configure leak detection thresholds. Automatic shutoff is set up if desired. The system is tested at full pressure to verify accurate flow data.
Full System Programming & App Setup
We program each zone with plant types, sun exposure, and soil data. We activate real-time flow monitoring, configure weather intelligence, and set up your Hydrawise account on your smartphone. You'll receive hands-on training on remote control, schedule adjustments, and reading flow reports.
Testing, Verification & Walkthrough
Every zone is run and verified. Flow readings are confirmed accurate. App notifications are tested. We walk you through the completed installation and answer any questions before we leave. System is calibrated and fully operational same day.
