Board packet checklist

  1. Audit — controllers, stations, master valves, rain sensors, leak history.
  2. Zone inventory — turf vs shrubs vs drip; problem dry spots.
  3. Retrofit vs replace — match the size map; prefer facepacks when cabinets are sound.
  4. Water budget target — gallons per acre or % vs last fiscal year.
  5. Quote — upload as-builts in the Quote Center (note “HOA common area”).
  6. Phased install — entrance first, then parks/medians.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who pays for an HOA controller upgrade?

Usually the association’s reserves or operating budget for common-area capital improvements. Confirm covenants and whether unit yards are owner-maintained.

Do we need strong Wi-Fi at every controller?

Controllers cache schedules, but weather updates, app control, and reporting need reliable internet. Gatehouses and pump rooms often need a dedicated outdoor AP.

How many Hydrawise controllers can one HOA manage?

One campus may need several controllers. Hydrawise Contractor software tiers manage from 75 up to 400 controllers under a professional account.

Can the HOA override city water restrictions?

No. City and water-district rules take priority. Smart controllers help you comply — they do not create exemptions.

How long does a typical common-area upgrade take?

A facepack swap on a healthy cabinet is often same-day per controller once parts arrive. Multi-controller campuses with flow meters phase over days or weeks.
