Tier 1
Connectivity + smart control
Best when we should start with controller reachability, schedule cleanup, and easier seasonal water discipline.
We usually start here when smarter control matters more than leak-event protection.
Residential • HOA • Commercial Smart Control Estimator
We built this estimator for homeowners, HOA boards, and property managers who want a first read on hidden leak exposure, seasonal water discipline, and response value before we confirm the actual fit on-site.
It helps you see which Smart Control (SRMS) conversation should come first. Use it to frame whether the first win is smarter control, leak protection, or a cleaner response path before we confirm the cleanest tier and site constraints on-site.
Before we scope it
Context note
For a home, we usually use this as a first-pass conversation when the owner wants to know whether hidden leak exposure, smarter control, or faster follow-through deserves attention first.
Our planning baselines
Starter values are loaded below so you can see how the estimator behaves. Replace them with your own property numbers for a better read.
Hidden leak event
We use this first when the question is whether abnormal-flow protection belongs in the same conversation as repairs or controller cleanup.
For a home, this helps frame whether we should be talking about leak detection before the next surprise bill lands.
We do not hard-code a utility rate here. Use the property’s current water + sewer rate whenever possible.
This prices one event only. We still scope repairs, flow-monitor fit, and shutoff strategy separately.
Seasonal water savings
We use this when smarter scheduling, cleaner reachability, and better documentation may be the first operational win.
For a home, this is useful when the bigger question is how much cleaner control may save over a typical season.
We use your actual seasonal spend here because no single water-bill baseline fits every property.
Best used after leaks, pressure issues, and obvious mechanical problems are corrected. This is still a planning estimate, not a guaranteed reduction percentage.
Service-response efficiency
We use this when documentation, alert visibility, and service-path clarity reduce the time it takes to sort out the problem.
For HOA and commercial properties, this is often the value conversation that turns alerts into faster follow-through.
Our current planning labor baseline is $120/hour. Replace it if your loaded internal rate is different.
This estimates response efficiency per event, not a service plan price or guaranteed dispatch time. Tier 3 value is usually strongest where faster follow-through really matters.
We use this planning conversation to identify whether the first gain is controller reachability, stronger abnormal-flow protection, or a cleaner alert-to-response path.
Tier 1
Best when we should start with controller reachability, schedule cleanup, and easier seasonal water discipline.
We usually start here when smarter control matters more than leak-event protection.
Tier 2
Best when we should start with abnormal-flow visibility, hidden leak protection, and a cleaner shutoff conversation.
We usually start here when one hidden event could waste meaningful water before anyone notices.
Tier 3
Best when we should layer alert-driven response, priority support, and a clearer service path onto protection.
We usually start here when alerts need a cleaner response path, not just visibility.
Smart Control (SRMS) is optimized for typical 1" and 2" irrigation systems. We confirm fit, power, controller reachability, flow-monitor path, and service-plan alignment during inspection.
Common questions about what this estimator can tell you before we confirm the site on inspection.
It helps estimate hidden leak-event cost, seasonal water savings, and service-response value so you can see which Smart Control (SRMS) conversation we’d usually start with before inspection.
It uses the numbers you enter together with our planning baselines, including the current labor-rate baseline shown in Step 3 and the normal Smart Control (SRMS) fit path for typical 1" and 2" irrigation systems. Final fit, final scope, and final pricing are still confirmed on-site.
The hidden leak and service-response sections estimate one event at a time. The seasonal water savings section estimates value across a season.
Tier 1 usually fits cleaner scheduling and reachability, Tier 2 usually fits abnormal-flow protection, and Tier 3 usually fits properties that also need faster follow-through and response planning through our service path.
Because we still need to verify pressure, power, wiring, flow-monitor fit, controller placement, and practical site constraints before recommending a final tier or quote.
