Overview
The Irrigatia systems is a weather responsive automatic watering system that uses solar power to detect the weather and alter watering according to the conditions and the season – providing plants with precise irrigation. The more sun it receives, the more water it will give your plants! This system is easily installed into an existing rain barrel, and once set-up, will water automatically with minimal supervision. On average, a 200L barrel will last 3 weeks.
The solar pumps draw water from your rain barrel and pump the water to your plants through a drip irrigation system. The smaller size is best suited for 12x 20L pots, or 12 tomato plants, or 24 pepper plants, or 36 strawberry plants, or a combination up to 12m in length for raised beds. The larger unit has double the capacity.
Each kit includes the SMART controller with integrated pump, inlet filter, anti-siphon, water level sensor (with 5m cable), 15m tube, 12 drippers, stakes, tees, 3 x AA rechargeable AA batteries.
