For Irrigation Pros

Stack soil-truth on top of
the gear you already trust.

TurfPulse is not a Hydrawise replacement, not a controller, and not trying to compete with your MP Rotator install work. It's an automated soil-aware decision layer that sits on top of any controller with an API — and tells it whether the schedule actually needs to fire today.

Built for commercial properties with water reporting requirements, drought-restricted regions, and the residential clients who actually notice the bill. Honest about everything else.

What it actually does for you

Additive layer. Not another controller for your truck.

Per-zone soil-moisture overrides

Ecowitt WH51/WH52 probes report every 15 min. TurfPulse decides per zone whether the controller fires — no flat global skip. Your MP Rotator efficiency stays intact; we just stop firing zones that are already at field capacity.

Water reporting for commercial / HOA

Auto-generated weekly water-usage CSV per property with skip events logged, deltas before/after storms, and dollar-spot pressure flags. Drop into your client report email; built for properties that have to prove the savings.

No new hardware to sell

Your existing Rachio / Hydrawise / Rain Bird IQ / Toro Sentinel install stays exactly where it is. TurfPulse runs in the cloud, talks via each controller's API, and overlays soil + weather signals on top. Setup per property: ~5 min.

What we do and don't do

We've gotten burned by vague vendor claims. Here's the unfiltered scope so you don't have to ask.

We do

  • • Per-zone soil-aware skip/fire decisions via controller API
  • • Weekly water-usage + skip-event reports per property
  • • Smith-Kerns dollar-spot pressure flags by region
  • • TAMU 12% drought-floor override (no skip in real drought)
  • • Auto-pause after applications you log
  • • Open API so you can pull data into your own CRM

We don't

  • • Sell anything to your end clients (white-label only)
  • • Replace your controller — your gear stays
  • • Touch zone distribution / DU — that's still your job
  • • Show your customers another bill or branded app
  • • Compete with you on the install side
  • • Pretend the math is magic — sources cited at /credits
First-season pilot

Pilot one property. First season's on us.

We're picking 5–10 irrigation pros for a comp'd first-season pilot on one of their commercial or HOA properties. In exchange we want honest weekly feedback and permission to use anonymized data in a public case study. No contract lock-in — keep using TurfPulse after the pilot at the contractor rate, or walk away clean.

Justin reads every one of these personally. No marketing sequence, no SDR queue. Two-day max response time.

Questions pros actually ask

Will TurfPulse work with my existing Rachio + Hydrawise mixed fleet?+

Yes. We talk to each controller's API independently — you can have a fleet of mixed Rachio Gen 1/Gen 3 + Hydrawise + Rain Bird IQ and we run the soil-aware loop on top of all of them simultaneously. Each property is configured once.

How is this different from Hydrawise's built-in flow meter?+

Flow meters tell you how much water flowed. Hydrawise's Predictive Watering adjusts schedule duration based on forecast. Neither knows what's actually happening at root zone. TurfPulse closes that gap by reading wireless soil-moisture probes (Ecowitt WH51/WH52) per zone and deciding fire/skip from real soil data instead of forecast inference.

How much does it cost after the pilot?+

Contractor pricing is $9/month per property managed (annual, prepaid). No setup fees, no API integration fees. White-label option (your branding on weekly client reports) is +$15/month per property. Volume discounts at 25+ properties.

Can I export the data into my own CRM / billing system?+

Yes. Every property has a JSON+CSV API token. Weekly summaries can also auto-email to any address. Open API for the things we don't expose by default.

Do you brand anything to my clients?+

Nothing by default. The standard setup is fully white-label — your clients see your reports with your logo, not ours. We will never sell or upsell anything to your end clients directly.

What if the pilot doesn't work for me?+

Walk away clean. No contract. We'd ask for a 15-minute exit call so we learn why, but no commercial commitment.
