Irrigation telemetry technologies enable the programming, monitoring and modifying of the irrigation system’s operation from a remote location. Use of Flowguard™ adds the benefits of water source information, detailed email alerts and archived histories to the features of traditional central control and the more modern “smart” controller technologies. The Internet based software and wireless cellular communication of Flowguard™ combined with traditional central control products and/or “smart controllers” are powerful allies in protecting the irrigation and the landscape. Irrigation telemetry technologies control the irrigation system operation in response to conditions in the irrigation field, weather, temperature, soil moisture, etc. Flowguard™ adds to this the benefits of water source information, as well as automatic email alerts via wireless cellular technology or the client’s Local Area Network (LAN). Use of Flowguard™ descriptive event logs and diagnostic pressure and flow graphs
