Irrigation Pump Installation & Configuration Service Network

A vetted, local service network of trained technicians who handle pump selection, installation, and configuration for homeowners. Homeowners book via a simple marketplace, pay a flat fee per job type (basic setup $150–250, complex multi-zone $400–600), and technicians are trained on a standardized curriculum covering pump types, pressure requirements, and common yard layouts. Technicians earn 70% of job revenue and build recurring maintenance contracts.

Eliminates the fragmented research burden and failed installations by putting a trained, local expert on-site in 3–7 days. Homeowners avoid $500+ in wasted equipment and water bills from misconfiguration. Technicians get steady, high-margin work in an underserved market with no inventory risk.

Suburban and exurban homeowners (1–5 acres) with DIY intent but low confidence; ages 40–70; household income $80k+; located in water-conscious regions (Southwest, California, Southeast).

Original Problem

Homeowners struggle to properly connect and configure irrigation pumps for lawn watering

DIY homeowners lack clear guidance on pump selection, connection methods, and configuration for lawn irrigation systems, leading to wasted time troubleshooting, improper installations, and failed watering setups. Existing solutions are fragmented across forums and manuals without step-by-step visual guidance tailored to different pump types and yard configurations.
