Why I built it

18 years running an irrigation company. This is the tool I needed.

I'm Robert Kemp. I ran Water Wise Sprinkler Repair in the East Valley for 18 years and started its Hydrawise flow-monitoring program. It worked — until the next customer had a Rachio, or an old timer in the garage. And when customers asked what a plan would save them, we couldn't say. We didn't know their water rates.

The hardest part was never the repair. It was keeping the homeowner, the tech and the office on the same page — and showing customers skilled work they couldn't see. Controller apps manage controllers. Nobody managed the customer, and nobody knew what the water cost. MyWaterBudget does both.

— Robert Kemp, Queen Creek, AZ

Wi-Fi controllers

Hydrawise · Rachio

Connect live. Every controller, zone and alert lands in your book — with what each problem costs the customer per month at their rates. Rain Bird Wi-Fi is coming through Rachio.

Everything else

Any timer, Wi-Fi or not

Runs as a virtual smart controller — we write the schedule, the homeowner or your tech sets it. The homeowner photographs the meter, runs a zone 5 minutes, photographs it again. AI reads the meter. A zone running high alerts your shop — with the dollars.

Every home

A home file that fills itself

Snap the meter, controller, valves, backflow and a pressure gauge. AI reads each photo and files it, time-stamped with the weather. Backflow tests due, homes over 80 psi and non-Wi-Fi controllers become your sales list.

Why now

Water rates are going up. Your customers will want answers.

Arizona keeps building, and water isn't getting cheaper. When the bill jumps, the homeowner calls someone. It should be you — with the numbers.

50–70%

of an Arizona home's water use goes to irrigation — the biggest lever a homeowner has, and the one they understand least.

$3.07 → $10.75

per 1,000 gallons: Queen Creek's proposed water resource fee, phased in over six years. Nearby cities have increases on the table too.

One call

is usually all a homeowner remembers. What was checked, what was fixed and why it mattered disappears when the truck pulls away.

Residential irrigation is a skilled trade. The work deserves customer service that shows it.

The problem

No leaks in the system. No leaks in the business.

Leaks in the system

A broken lateral runs for weeks before the bill shows it
Schedules set once at install and never touched again
Controller alerts land in an inbox nobody owns
"It'll save water" — with no measurement to prove it

Leaks in the business

The homeowner never sees what the tech actually did
Notes and photos live on one phone — or nowhere
The office chases the field for answers it should already have
Customers never hear from you until something breaks

Fix one without the other and it won't hold. MyWaterBudget closes both.

How it works

One property record. Homeowner, tech and office all see it.

Three connected apps around one record — same system, same history, same next step, updated in seconds. Nothing to install and no hardware. Everyone opens a link on their phone or computer.

For the technician

Field app

Water audits at the meter, a visit checklist, photos and notes, and the day's jobs — on the tech's phone. Filed from the yard in a few minutes.

For the office & owner

From real jobs

The work is good. Now the homeowner can see it.

Two real East Valley repairs, filed the way a tech files them in the field app. This is the Water Report that lands in the homeowner's app with your name on it.

Repair

Leaking mainline & backflow preventer

Before: corroded copper riser, patched PVC mainline and a worn pressure vacuum breaker — **Before** Corroded copper, a patched PVC repair and a worn backflow preventer

After: new pressure vacuum breaker and copper riser with ball-valve isolation — **After** New backflow preventer and copper riser, isolation valves on both sides

Valves & backflow Fixed todayLeaks Fixed today

What we found: The mainline was leaking at the riser — old copper corroded through and a patched PVC repair under the backflow preventer. Water was running under pressure 24 hours a day.
Work done: Replaced the backflow preventer and the riser in new copper, with ball valves on both sides so the next repair doesn't shut down the house. Repaired the mainline and reset the hose bib.
Why it matters: A mainline leak runs whether the sprinklers are on or not. The homeowner sees the fix, the photos and the drop on the next bill.

Repair

Valve rebuild

Before: four old anti-siphon valves buried in the dirt — **Before** Old anti-siphon valves in the dirt, no box, no shut-off

After: new valve manifold with a master ball valve — **After** New manifold, new valves, master ball valve

Finished: valve box set to grade next to the pool equipment — **Finished** In a valve box, set to grade, cleaned up

Valves & backflow Fixed todayController & schedule Good

What we found: Four old anti-siphon valves buried in the dirt — weeping, hard to service and no way to shut them off without killing the water to the house.
Work done: Rebuilt the valves as one manifold with new valves, a master ball valve and waterproof wire connections, set in a valve box at grade.
Why it matters: The next service call takes minutes instead of a shovel. The homeowner can see exactly what's under that lid.

Sell the upgrade with real numbers

Measure it. Upgrade it. Prove it — on every visit after.

Your tech reads each zone at the water meter. MyWaterBudget prices it at the customer's own water rates. The homeowner sees what the upgrade saves before they say yes. After the job, the plan keeps checking it — no sensor or flow meter required.

Before: old drip tubing on top of the ground — **Before** Old drip on top of the ground — blown emitters, plants missed

After: beds converted to drip, lines buried — **After** Converted to drip, lines buried, emitters sized to each plant
