A $400 irrigation sprinkler is designed as a non-repairable single-use product, forcing replacement when a simple part breaks.

No irrigation sprinklers on the market offer a repairable modular design; all are sealed units that must be fully replaced even if the failure is minor.

App Concept

ModuSprinkler

A modular, repairable irrigation sprinkler system where each component—hose inlet, base, rotating head, electronics—is replaceable. Fix a broken part in minutes with a screwdriver instead of throwing away the whole $400 device.

Key Features

Modular snap-in/screw-in components (hose inlet, motor, valve, nozzle)
Common tools (Phillips screwdriver) sufficient for all repairs
Spare parts sold individually for $5-$40 each
Rain-tight, pet-safe, and durable exterior

Target Users: Homeowners with moderate to large lawns (1/4 acre or more) who use automated sprinklers and value sustainability and repair over replacement

Revenue Model: Hardware at $350-$450 (comparable to competitors) + recurring revenue from spare parts sales; optional $5/mo subscription for firmware updates and watering intelligence
