A plumbing contractor installed a 3/4" irrigation supply line that delivers 28GPM flow rate, which exceeds safe velocity limits for the pipe and vacuum breaker, creating potential system damage and safety concerns.

Workarounds Described

• manually measuring flow rate with bucket and timer
• searching internet for pipe flow rate standards

Implied Software Gaps

• Mobile app that validates pipe sizing against flow rates during installation
• Digital system that automatically tests and documents flow rates against industry standards

FlowCheck Pro

A mobile app for plumbing and irrigation contractors that validates system designs against industry standards and automatically tests flow rates on-site. It alerts technicians when pipe sizes, fittings, or flow rates exceed safe velocity limits before installations are completed, preventing costly callbacks and system failures.
