The Technical Side

Aloha, I’m Ray Keenan, and I love getting into the nitty-gritty of irrigation systems. At VizRivo, I bring a technical edge to every project. Here’s a glimpse of my technical expertise.

My Technical Expertise

At VizRivo, I specialize in transforming outdated irrigation systems into efficient, water-saving solutions.
irrigation wires

Irrigation Zones & Controllers

From managing 80-zone systems in large HOAs to installing the latest smart controllers, I handle it all.

Smart Technology Systems

I integrate advanced systems like Rainbird IQ4, Hunter Hydrawise, and Weathertrak for precise water management.

Toner

Troubleshooting & Repairs

Using tools like toners and locators, I trace irrigation wire paths, find breaks, and fix issues that compromise your system.

Mapping & Labeling of Systems

I create detailed maps of irrigation systems, making it easy for anyone to understand and maintain.

Some of the Tools I Use

At VizRivo, a variety of different tools to diagnose irrigation issues.
water guage

Water Guage

A water gauge quickly collects important information regarding static and dynamic pressures.

milliamp clamp meter

Milliamp Clamp Meter

A milliamp clamp meter is a tool that allows for a quick controller check.

Tempo Master Pro

Tempo Master Pro

The Tempo Master Pro is used to match station wires to wires in the clock, great for large irrigation systems.

Toner

Wire Toner

The larger wire toner gives me an idea of how wire was installed. The toner allows for locating cuts and shorts, saving time and money.

Loupes

Loupes

A loupe is a small, handheld magnifying tool used to examine plants, pests, and other small details. With a loupe, I can see the fine details of a leaf or the presence of pests like aphids

microscope

Microscope

When a loupe doesn't give me enough magnification, I can use a microscope to correctly identify smaller pests such as mites, that can be mistaken for other problems.

Brix Refractometer

Brix Refractometer

The Brix Refractometer allows me to look into the sap of the plant, and measure its sugar levels. The refractometer alerts me to pest vulnerabilities and the need to change fertilizer programs.

water leak detector

Water Leakage Detector

The water leakage detector is a listening device that allows me to listen to find leaks in mainlines especially at irrigation valves, where they can't be easily seen.

About VizRivo

Aloha! I’m Ray Keenan, the founder of VizRivo, and I’ve been immersed in horticulture my entire life, from Maui to California, Arizona, and Florida. I hold a degree in turfgrass, but I quickly realized I wanted more than just mowing lawns. My journey began on Maui at Wailea Point, and after leaving the hotel industry here on the Big Island, I launched VizRivo to bring my unique skills to larger, older HOAs needing irrigation system upgrades.
