WeatherTRAK® OptiFlow® XR
Advanced Flow Made Easy
WeatherTRAK OptiFlow XR® is an advanced flow management controller available in conventional wire or 2-Wire configurations. OptiFlow XR leverages its visual and easy-to-use interface making it easy to manage complex flow across entire sites. By enabling controllers to share information in the cloud, OptiFlow XR optimizes how, when and where watering takes place within your water windows. All-inclusive options available, which include subscription and warranty for ten years.
Hundreds of controllers can share information and receive daily instructions about irrigation. Your site’s maximum water flow potential is calculated to keep things running as close to your site’s hydraulic capacity as possible. Define your water windows, pipe thresholds, and learn station flow, then let OptiFlow XR handle the schedules.
Sites with complex hydraulics are now easier to manage than ever

OptiFlow
WeatherTRAK with OptiFlow is a ground breaking solution that helps manage restrictive water windows, keeping things running as close to capacity as possible and delivering water where it’s needed with the time available. Working in conjunction with WeatherTRAK OptiFlow XR, WeatherTRAK ET Pro3 controllers and WeatherTRAK Central, OptiFlow is the industry’s first solution to optimize and maximize flow across an entire site from the cloud.
Maximize Water Windows
Imagine a scenario where you have multiple controllers that share a single mainline from a single point of connection. Each controller has its own water windows and programming requirements.
Instead of forcing you to figure out the schedule for hundreds of stations across multiple controllers, OptiFlow does the work for you. Once the OptiFlow XR controllers are joined together as a flow group, they operate as a single system, sharing flow data and coordinating schedules for optimal efficiency.
