View allPumpWise Home
An app that remotely controls irrigation pumps and diagnoses well pump issues like short cycling and variable pressure. It offers affordable constant pressure management without expensive hardware.
“A well water user wants constant water pressure but has variable pressure due to pressure switch cycling between low and high settings.”
“Residential well pump short cycling causes inconsistent water pressure and requires troubleshooting of pressure tank, check valve, or other system components.”
PumpProblem Solver
Smartphone app guiding homeowners through well pump diagnostics, from priming issues to pressure problems. Uses symptom-based checklists and sensor input via phone microphone/light to pinpoint root causes.
“Pressure drop of 1 bar immediately after pump shutoff causes short cycling in drill well system, and existing pressure switch cannot compensate correctly.”
“User needs to know if a well pump requires manual priming after running dry and how to do it.”
PumpGuard Auto-Safe
An intelligent system that automatically cuts power to the pump upon detecting leaks or float jams, and provides a backup high-water cutoff to prevent overflow.
“A homeowner or well system operator needs a device that automatically cuts electrical power to a well pump in the event of a water leak from the pressure tank or supply line.”
“Sump pump float occasionally gets stuck and fails to activate the pump, requiring manual intervention.”
Individual Problems
LeakSense Home
A homeowner cannot determine why their water meter shows intermittent water flow and receives leak alerts despite no visible signs of a leak, and feels shamed by the utility provider's comparative usage reports.
WellHead Quick-Isolate Kit
Without main piping, the only way to avoid a mess when working on the well is to drain it, and the pump cannot be pulled because it may be hard piped.
TankMatch Pro
Need to identify equivalent premium water well tanks to avoid poor quality bladder that fails prematurely
AquaGuard Backup
Rural resident needs a fail-safe high water level cutoff switch for borehole pump to prevent overflow when primary float switch fails.
WellPump Diagnose Pro
Pressure drop of 1 bar immediately after pump shutoff causes short cycling in drill well system, and existing pressure switch cannot compensate correctly.
FlowFit Filtration Designer
Need whole-house water filtration for mixed livestock and residential use without losing flow rate or prematurely clogging filters.
PumpDiagnose AI
After replacing a well pump and multiple components, the water pressure still won't exceed 20 PSI, and the user cannot diagnose the root cause.
LeakSense Pump Kill
A homeowner or well system operator needs a device that automatically cuts electrical power to a well pump in the event of a water leak from the pressure tank or supply line.
