When it comes to safety, lightning is one of the most unpredictable and dangerous forces of nature. Whether you manage a facility, oversee an irrigation system, or simply work in areas exposed to the elements, lightning puts lives, equipment, and operations at risk. That’s why IGS Water’s WxLine Lightning Protection System isn’t just smart—it’s essential.
1. Protects Your Life and the People Around You
The most important thing WxLine does is keep people safe. Whether you’re out in the field, managing a park, or working at a pump station, the system gives real-time lightning warnings before danger gets too close.
- Detects lightning up to 20 miles away
- Uses patented sensors to prevent false alarms
- Sends automatic alerts via sirens, lights, or shutdown systems
This means you don’t need to guess when to take cover or shut things down. The system does it for you—on time, every time.
2. Automatically Shuts Down Your Equipment—So You Don’t Have To
Imagine you’re running irrigation pumps, splash pads, or field machinery when a storm rolls in. You’re caught between reacting fast and protecting valuable equipment. WxLine solves that dilemma for you.
With its WAVE Sequencer and Critical Asset Protection Bulkhead, WxLine can:
- Cut power or shut down equipment instantly
- Prevent lightning-induced surges that can cause fires or total system failure
- Restart operations safely when the danger has passed
That’s peace of mind—without you pushing a button.
3. Takes the Guesswork Out of Safety
WxLine includes Strike View software, which provides:
- Real-time tracking of lightning activity
- Customizable alert thresholds
- Data logs to help you understand weather patterns and response times
So instead of relying on weather apps or visual guesses, you’re making smart, informed decisions based on localized, real-time data.
4. Keeps Working Even When the Power or Internet Doesn’t
Power outage? No problem.
WxLine’s outdoor sensors are:
- Battery-powered (with a lifespan of 5+ years)
- Housed in rugged weatherproof enclosures (NEMA 4X)
- Connected via fiber-optic cables (no electrical interference)
You’re protected even in remote areas or during major storms—when traditional communication lines may go down.
5. Saves You Money and Reduces Risk
Replacing equipment damaged by lightning can cost thousands. Worse, injury or downtime due to misjudged weather can create liability or lost income.
WxLine helps you:
- Avoid costly repairs and replacements
- Prevent downtime in irrigation, automation, or park operations
- Reduce liability by following strict safety protocols
One investment today can save you from disaster tomorrow.

- Your safety
- Your equipment
- Your operations
- Your peace of mind
If you manage outdoor systems or facilities where lightning is a threat, WxLine is the smart shield between you and the storm.
