Know what is running

See pump status, pressure, flow, source level, operating mode, and current alarms without hunting through confusing screens.

Know what is faulted

Useful alarms should point staff toward the issue and help them understand what is available to run.

Get help faster

Remote support works better when the pump station shows what matters instead of forcing phone guesses.

The problem

When the pump station is unclear, the whole course feels it.

If your pump station fails, your irrigation software doesn't matter. Your Toro or Rain Bird system might be ready to run, but if your operators are fighting confusing alarms or flying blind on pressure and flow, you risk losing the entire nightly watering window.

Where Controler fits

Irrigation software decides where the water goes. We make sure the water is actually there.

Toro Lynx, Rain Bird CirrusPRO, Hunter Pilot, and similar central control systems decide where water goes. Controler focuses on the pump station controls that make water available.

Scheduling layer

Toro / Rain Bird / Hunter

  • Zone schedules and irrigation programs
  • Course-side watering decisions
Pump station layer

Controler

  • Pressure, flow, pumps, modes, and alarms
  • HMI screens, VFD issues, and remote support
Course outcome

Reliable overnight irrigation

  • Less guessing when watering is on the line
  • Controls built around superintendent workflows

Customer showcase

Golf courses using Controler pump station support.

Controler supports practical pump station controls work for golf courses that need clearer screens, better troubleshooting, and stronger operator visibility during irrigation windows.

What Controler does

A tighter path from unclear pump station to operator-ready controls.

We turn confusing pump stations into operator-ready systems. We audit your existing controls and upgrade the pieces that actually matter for daily operation: clear screens, actionable alarms, safe emergency modes, and instant remote support.

Step 01

The Pump Station Review

A practical controls review that turns confusing screens, alarms, modes, remote support gaps, and risky workarounds into a prioritized improvement list.

  • Current pump station screens
  • Alarms and fault messages
  • Pressure, flow, and source visibility
  • VFD and pump mode display
  • Emergency/manual operating modes
  • Risky workarounds
  • Remote support options
  • Practical improvement priorities
Step 02

Existing Station Upgrades

Upgrade the controls without replacing the whole pump station. The pumps, piping, and station equipment can often stay in place while the operator layer gets clearer.

  • Modern HMI screens and alarm structure
  • Drive integration and controlled emergency modes
  • Remote visibility for faster support calls

Operator Screens / HMI

Plain-language pump, pressure, flow, source, status, alarm, and manual workflow screens.

VFD & Pump Troubleshooting

Drive faults, pressure instability, sequencing problems, sensors, interlocks, and permissives.

Remote Support Setup

Secure access and useful live status so troubleshooting starts with evidence instead of phone guesses.

Bootleg Golf case study

Emergency pump drive recovery with protections preserved.

A failed turbine pump VFD put the watering window at risk. Controler created a controlled temporary operating path without turning the pump station into an unsafe bypass exercise.

Before Failed drive / legacy risk

Emergency decisions were tied to the pump station control layer, not the irrigation scheduling software.
  • Turbine pump drive failed during the season
  • Course needed water while waiting for replacement equipment
  • Bypassing protections would create new operating risk
After Controlled FLV mode / custom HMI
Emergency full-voltage HMI screen with activate and pump ON/OFF controls
Emergency FLV controls with activate/deactivate behavior.

  • Failed VFD blocked from operating
  • Auto and alarm safeguards stayed active
  • Operators could manage pressure and flow from a clear screen
Outcome Irrigation pressure stayed manageable without bypassing the control system.
