Residential case study
Tank top-up timed around the family’s morning routine
The tank was refilling while the family showered and prepared for work and school, reducing water pressure inside the house. We installed a scheduled top-up valve so the tank could refill outside this busy morning period.
What was done
- Installed a dedicated top-up valve and upgraded the controller, using the existing Wi-Fi connectivity.
- Scheduled the top-up at 10am and 1pm on selected days.
- Confirmed controller and valve operation through Hydrawise and manual testing at attendance.
Please note: these settings are property-specific examples, not universal advice. This case study does not claim a measured increase in household water pressure.
Garden repairs
- Leaking regulator replaced.
- 13mm lateral changed to 25mm.
- Microsprays added.
- Improved garden-bed flow observed; coverage to be monitored.
Not all faults from the previous audit were repaired.
