Our Mission
To create sophisticated smart irrigation solutions built on a foundation of technology, education, and partnership.
Our Vision
We contribute to a sustainable future by saving the world’s most precious resource: water.
Smart Solutions for a Thirsty World
Today, with the need for water conservation universally recognized, our data-driven approach is one the entire industry is seeking to emulate. How smart are your water management solutions?
Technology meets Irrigation
Calsense is known for data-enhanced solutions that simultaneously conserve water, manage labor and save money. Less known is how we do it. The key is our proprietary technology and ongoing support that bridges the gaps between irrigation designer, installer, landscape maintainer and water manager. The happy result is an end-to-end continuum that creates efficiencies rather than disruptions, provides information instead of blocking it, and enables management instead of chaos.
A company born of drought
California has a long history of droughts. But the one that ravaged the land in 1986 was different. Because that was the year one Californian, Ralph Miller, decided to do something about it. He founded Calsense with a single idea: what if we could use technology – in the form of underground sensors – to capture soil moisture data, thus enabling us to use every drop of water effectively? Coupled with business innovations such as factory-direct, after-sale service and training at no cost, Calsense brought the industry into a new era of smart solutions and premium service.
Many solutions. Many industries.
No two Calsense solutions are alike. Whether it’s government municipalities, K-12 schools, corporate campuses, DOTs, or other, each situation is unique and requires a custom approach. Politics and regulations can be as critical as water and soil. Government processes and experience shares importance with weather and landscape. Our niche is helping you navigate your unique conditions toward a successful water management plan.
Where data flows like water
Calsense has pioneered the integration of software with hardware, digital code with water flow. Our systems automatically monitor the movement of water 24/7, communicating with each other to manage flow, pumps, detect breaks, and analyzing water usage specific to each station and controller. These real-time calculations take into account daily weather conditions, your monthly water allotment, and all other factors, to respond accordingly and yield sustainable results.
A future of possibilities
Calsense is a company forever in transition. Evolving to meet the ever-changing needs of landscape irrigation. Discovering new ways to enhance the beauty and health of landscapes we and our clients are responsible for. And continuing to bring forward a new era in water management solutions that benefit both you and the planet. Moving beyond an age limited to service and hardware, we will push toward a bold future focused on data-driven solutions and intelligent management of a precious global resource.
Sustainability Beyond Smart Irrigation
Care for the environment is at the very core of our business model. We’re out to prove that landscaping and sustainability can coexist, and we aim to do so by creating a culture of awareness that extends beyond our business mandates.
This culture of awareness understands that our everyday actions impact the environment, that it must provide thought-leadership through words and deeds, and believes it is everyone’s duty to safeguard the planet’s most precious resource: water. The power of this culture is that it can grow to include and inspire all industries to move into a greener future together.
In April of 2022 we achieved our California Green Business Network certification positioning ourselves as an official green business. Check out our Environmental Policy to learn more about our commitment to the planet.
