SRMS Tiers
Tier 2 keeps SRMS accountable in the real world: it adds protection that helps catch abnormal flow early and turns mid-season surprises into faster diagnostics.
A controller can tell you what it asked the system to do. Tier 2 helps verify what the system actually did. Abnormal-flow detection is how we protect property, reduce waste, and shorten troubleshooting when something changes.
Master valves live in the highest-consequence position. We prefer a proven, serviceable valve platform and pair it with clean access discipline so it stays reliable.
| Industry | Smart control (irrigation) |
|---|---|
| Tier | SRMS Tier 2 |
| Includes | Tier 1 Smart Node (connectivity + Rachio 3) plus abnormal-flow detection (master valve + flow meter) when site-supported |
| Best fit | Residential/HOA/small commercial sites that want measurable waste reduction and fewer mid-season surprises |
| System size | Designed for typical 3/4" and 1" systems (service lines larger than 1" are in development) |
| Scope | Service-scoped; quote after inspection |
| Related | Tier 1, 8-zone/16-zone, PRV |
Site-supported means the property has the real-world conditions needed for Tier 2 to work reliably (power, access, wiring/paths, and the right plumbing layout). See SRMS FAQs.
We’ll confirm feasibility, flow protection constraints, and the right tier during an inspection.
