DIGITAL INSPECTIONS Document irrigation systems directly from the field. Record zone conditions, repairs, system details, and photos while moving through the property. Generate professional inspection reports that can be reviewed and shared with customers. PROPERTY MAPPING Organize irrigation system information around the property using satellite mapping. Document system layouts, zones, and important field information so technicians can quickly understand the site.

CUSTOMER & PROPERTY MANAGEMENT Keep customers, properties, inspections, estimates, photos, and system information organized in one place and accessible in the field.

AquaPlot helps homeowners and DIY gardeners plan a simple irrigation system without professional CAD tools. Design your sprinkler system layout on your phone, check flow and pressure, and take a clear shopping list to the store. Start as a guest and create a free account when you want the material list. With AquaPlot you can: - draw your plot in 2D and type exact side lengths - reshape the garden boundary - add sprinklers, pipes, valves, and obstacles - check sprinkler coverage - run a bucket test to estimate safe water flow - review pressure and flow warnings - calculate watering time for each zone - estimate the materials needed for installation - save and compare multiple project layouts Terrain and pressure: - mark a few height points and see your garden with contour lines - every sprinkler takes its height from the map and every zone its slope - pressure loss is calculated for each pipe section and valve - see how much pressure your tap keeps while the water is flowing - get a hint which PE pipe size (16–32 mm) is enough for your layout - get warnings about uneven pressure, fast water in pipes, and too high pressure on spray heads - include a backflow preventer, filter, and pressure regulator at the tap Watering plan: - watering time per zone based on climate, plant type, soil, and slope - cycle and soak on clay soil and slopes, so water does not run off - weekly, monthly, and seasonal water use for the whole garden - a controller plan with the start and end time for all zones The app is built for practical home planning. It is not a certified hydraulic design tool, but it helps you avoid common mistakes before you start buying parts. Use AquaPlot to: - test whether your water source can handle the planned layout - split the setup into manageable irrigation zones - see where coverage may be weak - choose a pipe size that keeps enough pressure at the last sprinkler - prepare a clearer shopping list for pipes, valves, and sprinklers - export the whole plan to PDF for the store or your installer (Pro) AquaPlot is designed for small and medium home gardens where you want a visual plan, useful warnings, and a straightforward workflow on mobile.
