Make Every Drop
Of Water Count

Intelligent water management software for Hoover irrigation systems - found on 1000s of residential developments, golf courses and resorts across Florida

There's A Smarter Way To Manage Your Irrigation - Hoover Flowguard

We've been building some of the industry's most innovative and reliable irrigation pump stations for over 40 years.

Back in 2003, we recognized that many of our clients would benefit from intelligent water management software: advanced tech that would allow them to monitor their pump station’s performance, pinpoint issues with their irrigation systems and make informed decisions that save time and money. This realization led to the development and deployment of Hoover Flowguard – best-class irrigation software that we've been optimizing and improving for almost two decades.

Scalable by design, Flowguard is equally at home on 190 acre golf courses, multi-field sports complexes, 2000-home residential developments and entire cities!

Intelligent Automation to Manage Your Pump Station

Flowguard is designed to take the stress out of managing your irrigation pump stations. It provides 100% visibility and control of your irrigation system 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

For communities and service providers alike, Flowguard offers simple, user-friendly tools to help with water management. You'll be able to see when and where you’re using water, how your pump stations are running and whether there are any problems with your system.

All Data Saved In The Hoover Cloud

More importantly, Flowguard gives you access to the detailed, time-stamped data needed to actually start diagnosing and repairing issues. Say you wake up to find that your overnight water usage was 2x higher than you were anticipating: With Flowguard, you’d be able to access cloud-based data about everything from pump cycle times to minute-by-minute flow rates, which is exactly what you need to start figuring out what went wrong.

You’d also be able to shut the system down remotely while you called in your irrigation contractor, and Flowguard will also keep an eye on things that you might not think to monitor, like water salinity, and you can use the software to generate a host of automated reports.

Log In And Manage Your System From Anywhere

Nobody wants to race back to their pump station every time they need to adjust their irrigation schedule or check up on their flow rates. More to the point, you never want to find yourself wondering whether your system’s fully functional or currently struggling with an undetected mainline break.

No Surprises

Leveraging the Hoover Cloud, Flowguard allows you to log into your dashboard and manage your irrigation from any laptop, phone or tablet – putting you in full control of your system. You'll feel confident and assured that you have full visibility of events likely to affect the efficiency of your irrigation - whether that's pump or fitting failures, loss of incoming power or a simple rain sensor reset.

Manage All Your Properties From One Dashboard

The overwhelming majority of Flowguard customers are only managing one or two pump stations, but for users responsible for overseeing multiple properties or irrigation systems, our all-in-one dashboard saves a lot of time and stress.

Instead of scrolling through drop-down menus or struggling to switch between different screens, Flowguard lets you see the status of every station in one, centralized location. You’ll be able to see the status of individual pumps at a glance, enjoy full visibility of any important notifications and see your recent water usage without rummaging through various reports.

It’s a smart feature designed to give back a bit of time. Time that you can spend doing something productive, or just enjoying your day.

Constant Monitoring and Adjustment of Water Sources and Water Usage

At the end of the day, it's our customers who foot the bill when something goes wrong with their irrigation. With Flowguard, we have the power to safeguard their investment. In short, we can't be as successful as we are without Flowguard.
