Manual Operation of Systems from
Central Computer
A few keystrokes to apply additional water
Adding additional waterings is a simple
procedure: with a few keystrokes itʼs done.
This convenience is a must-have for extra
waterings when fertilization is done or
during over-seeding of warm season turf.
Being able to make adjustments at a central
location means local crews do not have to
change irrigation programs for a special
maintenance event.
Reduce Water Costs
Increased monitoring equals
reduced watering
Itʼs a proven fact that when irrigation systems
are consistently adjusted there will be a
substantial reduction in the amount of water
used. Typically a reduction is possible when
a system can not be monitored constantly
– for example, irrigation and landscape
maintenance personnel would rather err on
the side of over-irrigating (longer run times)
than to return to a job site with large patches
of brown turf.
With the Hunter IMMS
™
system, it becomes as easy as powering up
the computer and making a few keystrokes
to adjust the run times according to the
local weather conditions, thus reducing
water costs.
Forecast Water Use by the Day,
Week, Month or Year
Calculate future water costs for
budgeting purposes
Irrigation water costs are becoming a
significant factor in city budgets. Managers
need to know what the costs will be before
they occur. With the Hunter IMMS,
managers are able to make accurate and
informed decisions with the IMMSʼ
forecasting capabilities.

Reduce System Monitoring Efforts
Control all irrigation functions from
a central point
An irrigation manager is able to control
each controller without the need to travel
to each site. Usually, maintaining control-
ler programming is only one of the many
tasks for which this individual is responsible.
Driving around in a truck to different sites
requires effort that could be put to better use
in other aspects of the business.
Alarms Warn When Site Visits
May be Necessary
Accurate remote monitoring
When sensors are installed on site. IMMS
will react immediately with pre-
programmed responses to alarms.
The IMMS software will then
monitoring a
display an alarm if (for example)
excess flows occur in the normal watering
pattern through sensor feedback. The alarm
icon informs the irrigation manager of a
potential problem at the site.
