Flow monitoring for vineyards, orchards & landscapes

iFlow Aware

EVERY DROPLET. SMART.

Catches irrigation leaks, breaks, and blockages in real time — before they cost you water, crops, or money. Just insert our wireless flow sensors in the pipes or tubes you already have.
A low-cost monitoring add-on to your existing irrigation system.

Two real alerts, straight from the dashboard

These aren't mockups — they're actual flow charts pulled from working iFlow Aware installations, capturing the moment something went wrong.

Detected · sudden blockage

A zone dropped to 70% of expected flow

One sensor's flow fell off a cliff and stayed there — a telltale sign of a clog or stuck valve. iFlow Aware flagged it immediately (it happened around 7:30PM), while a different sensor right beside it kept reading a healthy ~100%.

Detected · pipe break

Flow spiked to nearly 5× normal

After a clean startup with inrush, flow jumped around 45 minutes later to nearly 5x of target — consistent with a blown line. iFlow Aware sent an alert right away and shut the zone down automatically. A 5,000 GPH leak for another 7 hours was contained, and the irrigation manager fixed the problem next morning.

Why this exists

Irrigation breaks in ways you don't see coming

Heads pop off. Pipes crack. Valves stick open or shut. Coyotes and gophers chew straight through poly tubing. Most of it happens out of sight and, even worse, overnight; and by the time someone notices, you've lost days or weeks of water, or a section of crop.

Add-on, not a replacement

Sensors are inserted into pipes/tubes you already have. Transmit modules remain above-ground

1

Insert a sensor into each row or zone of interest

Wireless and solar-powered — no wiring back to a panel, no batteries to replace.

2

Sensors talk to one gateway

A single gateway covers an entire vineyard block or property, up to about 1 mile away (line-of-sight).

3

You get the alert, not the surprise

Live flow and instant alerts on your phone or desktop. An optional kill switch can shut a zone down automatically.

Questions managers actually ask

Frequently asked questions

Does iFlow Aware replace my irrigation controller?

No. Flow monitors are inserted into the system you already run — but your existing controller, valves, and schedule stay exactly as they are. iFlow Aware is independent of all that. It watches the flow and tells you when something's wrong.

Do the sensors need Wi-Fi or wiring at every zone?

No. Each sensor is wireless and solar-powered, and reports back to a gateway for the property, within ~1 mile distance. You may only need a single gateway. The gateway is the only thing that needs power and internet access — no wires running anywhere.

How many zones/subzones can one system cover?

Hundreds! One gateway can cover a full vineyard block or property, with every row or zone reporting in through its own sensor. The more sensors you install, the more visibility you will have (e.g., Block_A, Row_13). Tell us your layout and we'll suggest a system for it.

Does it work with drip irrigation, sprinklers, or both?

Both. The sensor installs inline on the pipe feeding a zone, so it watches flow regardless of what's on the other end — drip line, micro-sprinklers, or standard heads.

What happens when it detects a problem?

You get an alert on your phone or desktop right away, with the specific zone/location identified. If you so choose, the system can shut down your pump or master valve automatically instead of waiting for you to respond.

How hard is it to install?

Flow sensors install in line of the existing pipe at each valve or row. You cut the pipe/tube open, insert the sensor and make sure the electronic module is above ground. No trenching, no rewiring back to a controller panel. We have installation information for you - it's pretty straight forward.

Do I get any reports or graphs?

Yes! Graphs of each of the sensors' flow data are easily viewed on your phone or desktop, covering the last few hours or the last few weeks. Also, the system generates a daily, weekly, and monthly summary of all the flows. For your review, analysis, or compliance reporting.

What does it cost?

In general terms, it's much cheaper than what you might expect. The whole idea is to let you utilize many sensors, so that you get good visibility across your vineyard or orchard. In practice, the cost depends on how many sensors you'll end up with and how much gateway coverage that requires. Send us your property information and we'll put together a system proposal and a quote.

Am I buying your system, or is it a subscription?

There is a small initiation fee. Once set up, we charge you on a subscription basis which scales with the number of sensors. This way, you don't have to buy a system which you don't know much about yet. In fact, we recommend you start with a few sensors, then scale up as you gain experience and appreciation for what the system does for you.
