PLEASE REMEMBER TO ORDER THE EXTENSION KITS YOU NEED TO WATER YOUR PLANTS - IF YOU ONLY BUY MICROPOROUS HOSE YOU WILL NEED TO ORDER SOME TUBING AS WELL - IRR-15T OR IRR-30T

WATER LEVEL SENSOR

The water level sensor is placed in the water barrel and will detect when the water is running out and emits an audible warning during daylight hours.

Night mode - the system now detects when it is dark and switches the controller off to prevent watering at night.

MAXIMUM WATERING CAPACITY

To assist in selecting the most appropriate Irrigatia controller, we have devised a simple method to demonstrate each product’s capacity. We call them ‘Irrigation Units’, or ‘IU’ for short.

The SOL-C60 is suitable to irrigate one of the stated maximum planting quantities, or a combination thereof.

60 x 20l pots | 60 x tomato plants | 120 x pepper plants | 180 x strawberry plants | 60m row vegetable or flower beds

OVERVIEW

Irrigatia weather responsive SMART irrigation controllers uniquely use solar power to detect the weather and alter watering according to the conditions and the season – providing plants with the precise irrigation needed to help them thrive.

They are easy to install and set up, and once in, they will water automatically with minimal supervision – ideal for small to medium gardens or allotments – and can be used for pots, raised beds, hanging baskets, vegetables and greenhouses.

Unlike conventional timer systems, by watering little and often, the soil stays moist and water does not run off, saving you water. A 1000 litre water barrel typically lasts 1 week.

No mains, wires, or hosepipes needed nor heavy watering cans to lug water around the garden.
