Excess flow
Broken pipes and risers
When a pipe or risers breaks, water flow increases dramatically, potentially leading to thousands of gallons of water to run off.
Irrigation flow monitoring for vineyards, orchards & landscapes
Stop Irrigation Problems Before They Become Crop Problems
iFlow Technology continuously monitors irrigation flow across vineyards, orchards, and other landscapes—detecting leaks, blockages, abnormal flow, and other problems before they cause serious issues.
A monitoring add-on to your existing irrigation system — not a controller replacement.

THE REAL COST OF AN IRRIGATION FAILURE
An irrigation failure wastes much more than water.
The real cost can include:
Water
Pumping energy
Fertilizer / fertigation
Erosion
Crop damage
Labor
Remediation
Downstream damage
A REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
A flow event had the potential to waste 35,000 gallons overnight.
iFlow detected it and automatically shut the zone down.
The problem was waiting for the irrigation manager in the morning—not continuing to waste water all night.
What would one overnight failure cost you?
Consider the water, energy, fertigation, erosion, crop impact, labor, and remediation—not just the water bill.
THE HIDDEN COST
You shouldn't have to walk the property just to know your irrigation is working.
Growers and irrigation managers spend hours checking fields, blocks, rows, and properties because there is no easy way to know what is happening when they're not there.
iFlow Aware turns that uncertainty into information. When everything is working, you have a record. When something isn't, you get an alert.
Add intelligence, not another irrigation system
Keep the controller, valves and schedules you already use.
iFlow Aware works alongside your existing irrigation infrastructure. Add flow sensors where you need visibility—without replacing the system that already controls irrigation.

The real problem
Your irrigation system may be running. But do you know it is working as expected?
Scheduling and controller systems can tell an irrigation system what it is supposed to do. They do not necessarily tell you whether the water is actually getting where it should. That uncertainty is why growers and water managers spend so much time walking fields, groves, and properties—sometimes every day—to make sure nothing has gone wrong.
Hidden damage
Even small bites can become a big irrigation problem
Damaged poly-tubes can go unnoticed for days or weeks, wasting water, causing erosion, and potentially leaving plants under-irrigated.
Low flow
Blockages can be hard to spot
Blockages often build up over time and that is very hard to spot; but meanwhile plants get under-irrigated.
The cost of checking everything yourself
When you don't trust the system, you become the monitoring system.
That means field walks, driving between blocks, checking valves, looking for leaks, and hoping nothing happened between visits. iFlow Aware turns that uncertainty into continuous flow visibility.
Built for the people responsible for irrigation
The question is different for every irrigation manager.
Whether you manage one vineyard block or irrigation across dozens of properties, the goal is the same: know when something is wrong without having to physically find it first.
Vineyard owner
“Will this stop run-off damage on my hillside?”
Protect blocks and rows from broken pipes and tubes gushing out and causing significant run-off damage.
Orchard manager
“Will I know if a line breaks at 2 AM?”
Know when a zone isn't delivering the water your trees need—and know when flow suddenly becomes abnormal.
Irrigation manager
“Can I tell which zone is failing without driving around the property?”
See flow behavior by zone and focus your response where the data indicates a problem.
Landscape manager
“Can I monitor 15 properties without physically checking every irrigation system?”
Monitor irrigation across multiple properties without sending someone out just to see whether everything is running.
What an alert looks like
You don't need another graph. You need to know when something is wrong.
When iFlow Aware detects flow outside the expected pattern, the most useful information is simple: what happened, where it happened, and when.

Alert
Excess Flow detected
Action: Automatic shutdown configured for this zone.
The notification is the point.
A grower or irrigation manager should be able to see the problem on a phone or desktop and know where to respond—without first driving to the property to discover what happened.
01
Abnormal flow detected. The system compares actual flow with the expected pattern for the monitored zone.02
The affected sensor is identified. The alert can tell you which property, block, row, or zone needs attention.03
Optional automatic shutdown. Where configured, an abnormal high-flow event can trigger a shutdown instead of waiting until someone finds the problem.Field data, not marketing
See what continuous monitoring actually catches in the field.
These are real flow charts from working iFlow Aware installations. The point is not another irrigation schedule—it is knowing when actual flow deviates from what you expect.
Low flow detected
A zone dropped to about 70% of expected flow
A sustained flow drop can point to a clog, blockage, stuck valve, or another restriction. The important part: the system can identify that something changed even when the problem is not obvious in the field.
High flow detected
Flow spiked to nearly 5× normal
A sudden jump in flow is consistent with a blown line or other major break. In this real event, iFlow Aware alerted the manager and the configured automatic shutdown contained the leak.

A record of what happened—not just a notification you saw and forgot.
Daily, weekly, and monthly summaries can turn continuous monitoring into a useful operating record: irrigation events, measured water flow, abnormal events, and alerts over time.
Reports reinforce the bigger promise: know that irrigation is working.
Alerts tell you when something needs attention. Reports help you look back and see what actually happened across your property.

Useful for recordkeeping and compliance workflows
In some agricultural water-quality programs, growers are required to maintain plans, monitoring information, management-practice records, and reporting documentation. iFlow Aware's historical flow data and reports may help support those records, particularly where documenting irrigation activity and efforts to prevent excessive runoff is relevant. Requirements vary by state, water district, program, and property, so iFlow reports should be treated as supporting documentation—not as a guarantee of regulatory compliance.
From checking to knowing
Spend less time proving the irrigation system is working.
iFlow Aware is designed around the operational gap between “the controller says it should be running” and “we know the water is actually flowing as expected.”
Continuous visibility
Know what is happening even when nobody is walking the property.
Less field checking
Reduce routine trips made simply to confirm that irrigation is still working.
Actionable alerts
Get notified when flow behavior indicates a problem rather than discovering it later.
Optional shutdown
When configured, abnormal high flow can trigger automatic shutdown instead of waiting for morning.
How it works
Add flow visibility to the irrigation system you already have.
Install sensors inline with the pipes, either near valves, at the start of a block, or better yet, near longer rows where knowing the actual flow matters. The sensors communicate wirelessly to a gateway, and the data is then processed in the cloud.
Sensors → gateway → dashboard → alert → optional shutdown.
1
Put a sensor where flow matters
Install inline with existing pipes or tubes at a row, valve, block, or other points you want to monitor.
2
Sensors communicate wirelessly
Solar-powered sensor modules have internal rechargeable batteries, working for you around the clock. The modules report to a gateway wirelessly. No wires required back to the irrigation controller.
3
Watch actual flow, not just the schedule
Review flow history and receive alerts when behavior is outside the expected pattern. Optional automatic shutdown can be added to trigger on excess flow (broken pipe, etc) or excess time (stuck valve).

Questions managers actually ask
Frequently asked questions
Does iFlow Aware replace my irrigation controller?
No. Your existing controller, valves, schedules, and irrigation infrastructure stay in place. iFlow Aware is a monitoring add-on to any existing irrigation system built to watch actual flow.
Do I need wiring or Wi-Fi at every zone?
No. The sensors are wireless and solar-powered. They communicate with a gateway that located within about 1 mile (line of sight, can be shorter), so there is no need to run wires from each sensor back to a central location or the irrigation controller. Only the gateway needs internet access (via Ethern cable or Wi-Fi).
Can it work with drip irrigation and sprinklers?
Yes. The sensor installs inline with the pipe feeding the zone/row, so it monitors the flow regardless of whether the zone uses drip, micro-sprinklers, or standard sprinkler heads.
What happens when a problem is detected?
You will receive an alert identifying the affected sensor, the nature of the problem, and the location where the sensor is installed. Where configured, the system can also use a "Kill-Switch" to trigger automatic shutdown upon excess flow and excess flow time.
How hard is installation?
It's not hard at all. Flow sensors install inline with the existing pipe or tube. The electronic module remains above ground, with no trenching or wiring back to the controller panel. We provide installation instructions.
Can I start small?
Yes. A practical approach is to start with a few sensors in zones where irrigation failures or routine checking are especially costly, then expand as you see the value.
Do I buy or lease the system?
To make it easy to get started, we let you lease the system. That way you don't need to buy equipment upfront and you can experience the value of the system as you go.
