Tell us your acreage, crop and irrigation type, and we'll come back with a unit size, a placement, and a pilot design that proves it on your ground — against your own control, with your own meter.
The objective is narrow and testable: a treated demo block holds plant hydration and nutrient status while running 25–30% less water and fertigation than a matched control. Nothing is proven by the unit being installed — it is proven by the demo block keeping up after you turn it down.
We size the unit from your design flow, pick the placement — submain or block head for a clean demo-versus-control split — and spec the valve and meter.
A certified installer fits the unit like any flanged spool piece: gaskets, bolts, no re-plumbing. Your system stays exactly as built.
Metered reduction on the demo block, hydration monitoring and scheduled leaf tests through the season. If the block starts to diverge, you see it in the plant first — and you put the water back.
The pilot produces a metered volume, not an anecdote. Scale from there — units are leased with a 10-year warranty, so the cost sits in operating, not capital.

Worth having ready: acreage and crop, irrigation type, design flow (GPM), pipe size and material, and whether the line has a straight run you can free up. A photo of the pump station helps.
Odd flow reading, a run too short for the body, a vertical you can't avoid — flag it before you commission rather than after. Same address, marked "field support."
