Service-First Product Hub
Find the Right Product Path Before You Buy the Wrong Part
Most repeat failures come from mismatch: wrong part, wrong fit, or missing system context. This hub organizes product guides by outcome so you can choose the cleanest path.
Start with the system objective first: connectivity and control, protection against abnormal flow, pressure discipline, or lighting reliability standards.
Start with: Smart Control hub • SRMS™ tier guide • FAQs
Quick Answer: What page should I use first?
If you need smart-control outcomes, start with SRMS pathing: Tier 1 for connectivity + control, Tier 2 for protection, Tier 3 for response pairing. If you need part-specific troubleshooting, use the irrigation or lighting product hubs below.
Part-First Guessing vs. Service-First Pathing
| Part-First Guessing | Green Guru Product Path |
|---|---|
| Buy parts before confirming root cause | Choose by symptom + system objective first |
| No tier strategy for smart control | Tier 1 -> Tier 2 -> Tier 3 roadmap |
| Inconsistent long-term serviceability | Documented, service-first standards |
| Recurring failures from pressure/connectivity issues | Reliability disciplines addressed early |

SRMS™ Tier Entry Path
Use this tier guide for smart-control upgrades that need reliable connectivity, protection, and response continuity.
Tier 1
Connectivity + Smart Control
Foundation package: Smart Node + Rachio controller for dependable remote control access.
Open Tier 1Tier 2
Connectivity + Protection
Adds flow-based protection workflows to shorten abnormal-use discovery and escalation windows.
Open Tier 2Tier 3
Connectivity + Protection + Response
Pairs monitoring outcomes with service response discipline and continuity through plans.
Open Tier 3Also see: Smart Control hub • SRMS™ hub • Service Plans.

Priority Product Paths by Service Use Case
Use these paths when a part question is really a pressure, valve, smart-control, or lighting reliability decision.
Pressure discipline
Use these when misting, repeat head failures, or high source pressure may be driving the repair pattern.
Valve and access repair
Use these when stuck zones, buried boxes, chatter, or wiring faults need a cleaner service baseline.
Smart control and flow
Use these when controller access, abnormal-flow visibility, or SRMS planning is part of the service decision.
Lighting controls and fixture reliability
Use these when timer behavior, transformer output, splice quality, or fixture upgrades are the real issue.
Product Guides FAQs
What is this Product Guides hub for?
This hub helps customers choose the right service-first guide path across irrigation, lighting, smart control, and SRMS tiers before spending money on the wrong replacement part.
Where should I start for SRMS?
Start with SRMS Tier 1 for connectivity and control foundation, add Tier 2 when flow protection is needed, then Tier 3 for monitoring-to-response service continuity.
What is the difference between Product Guides and Smart Control hub?
Product Guides is the top-level catalog entry page. Smart Control is the focused hub for connectivity, controllers, SRMS tiers, and pressure-discipline guidance.
Can I use these guides if I do not know the exact part name?
Yes. The guides include symptoms and fit context, and Green Guru can identify the exact assembly on-site during a service visit.
Are these products sold as standalone e-commerce items?
The pages are service-first references. Final component selection and installation details are confirmed during inspection and scoped service.
Do I need property Wi-Fi for smart-control products?
Not always. Smart Node and Smart Link can provide connectivity at the install point where property Wi-Fi is unreliable.
When should I read PRV pressure guidance?
Read PRV guidance when you have repeat irrigation failures, high pressure symptoms, or short component life caused by excessive operating pressure.
Are pump-system guides complete?
Core pump-system reliability guides are now published for foot valves, check valves, pressure switch diagnostics, and pressure tank precharge stability.
How do I choose between irrigation and lighting product hubs?
Use Irrigation guides for valves, heads, flow, and winterization reliability. Use Lighting guides for transformers, wire/splice discipline, and fixture-side control.
How is product-path pricing determined?
Pricing is quoted after inspection based on system size, conditions, access, and the selected upgrade plan.
