About

Absolute Water (Formerly known as Water Smart) is smart irrigation system aimed to increase convenience and usability and decrease water usage and power consumption. Absolute Water is equipped with state of the art technology that insures users that they are maintaining their landscape effectively efficiently.

  • Absolute Water is equipped with rain sensors, so the system will shut off automatically during a rain storm. This saves immense amounts of water that other irrigation system do not account for. Motion sensors are used to detect pedestrians within proximity to a watering zone. Instead of getting soaked on your way into your house, Absolute Water will keep you dry while also saving water. Flow meters are embedded in the irrigation infrastructure so that not only will users be able to track water usage down to the individual sprinkler head, but in the case of a broken pipe, the flow meter will trigger an emergency shut off in that zone. Soil moisture sensors are used to track which areas are being watered at the optimum moisture levels, which areas dry, and which are being overwatered.

  • The internet of things that make up the Absolute Water system is designed in a mesh network topology. This allows the network to be self-configurable, self-healing, and scalable. Absolute Water also uses solar energy to charge the embedded power source, decreasing residential power consumption and increasing efficiency.

  • Absolute Water also includes a web application that is mobile compatible where users can monitor their irrigation system in real time, set daily, weekly or monthly watering schedules, and view local weather data.
