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.

Where Controler fits

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

If your pump station fails, your irrigation software doesn't matter. Toro Lynx, Rain Bird CirrusPRO, Hunter Pilot, and similar systems decide where water goes — but when operators fight confusing alarms or fly blind on pressure and flow, the whole nightly watering window is at risk. Controler focuses on the pump station controls that make water available.

What Controler does

Three clear ways to work with Controler.

We review, upgrade, and support the controls on your existing pump station: clear screens, actionable alarms, safe emergency modes, and useful remote support. Every course starts with the free review — no pressure to replace equipment that still works.

Package 01 / Start here

Pump Station Review

A free, no-obligation review of your existing controls that ends with a prioritized improvement list — not a sales pitch.

  • Screens, alarms, and operating mode walkthrough
  • Pressure, flow, and source visibility check
  • VFD, emergency, and manual mode review
  • Remote support and documentation gaps
  • Prioritized, practical improvement list

Best for: knowing where the station stands before peak watering season.

Package 02 / Core upgrade

Controls Retrofit

Modernize the operator layer of your existing station. The pumps, piping, and station equipment stay — the controls get clearer.

  • Modern HMI with plain-language status screens
  • Restructured, actionable alarms
  • VFD and drive integration
  • Controlled emergency and manual modes
  • Updated panel documentation

Best for: stations that run, but are hard to operate, troubleshoot, or trust.

Package 03 / Ongoing

Remote Support & Monitoring

Ongoing eyes on the station once the controls are clear, so troubleshooting starts with evidence instead of phone guesses.

  • Secure remote access setup
  • Live station status during support calls
  • Alarm and status visibility when something faults
  • Season startup and shutdown checks
  • Priority troubleshooting support

Best for: courses that want faster help without re-explaining the station every call.

Bootleg Gap 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 — with auto and alarm safeguards still active — instead of turning the pump station into an unsafe bypass exercise.
