- Use for any size irrigation application with any size solenoid valve
- Completely automatic
- The water in the terracotta bowl is protected from algae, mosquitoes and other pests
- Smart irrigation – the irrigation is controlled by the prevailing weather conditions
- Use for both gravity feed and pressurised irrigation
- Use for both sprinkler and drip irrigation
- Use for both pressure compensating drippers and non pressure compensating drippers.
- Use for porous hose irrigation (weeper hose or soaker hose)
- You can adjust the water usage (litres per week for example) by adjusting the flow rate of the control dripper
- You can adjust the irrigation frequency by adjusting the volume of water discharged by the control dripper during the irrigation event (between 360 ml and 2500 ml)
- The water usage is directly proportional to the net evaporation rate (evaporation minus rainfall)
- When there is an unexpected heat wave, the irrigation frequency increases accordingly (the irrigation frequency is proportional to the net evaporation rate)
- When it rains, water enters the terracotta bowl via the terracotta saucer and delays the start of the next irrigation
- A timer is not required
- If you are using the same drippers throughout the irrigation application including the control dripper, the water usage is independent of the pressure (the pressure can be as low as 5 kPa)
- You can irrigate directly from a rainwater tank without using a pump
- A light sensor provides the option of irrigating at night time only
- Uses much less water without affecting the yield
- Simple and low tech, therefore fewer things can go wrong
- Provided you have a continuous water supply, you can leave your irrigation application unattended for weeks on end
