Irrigatia

The SOL-C60 waters up to 60 Irrigation Units (IU's). The kit includes the Tank Range SMART controller with integrated irrigation pump as well as a secondary pump for mixing plant food in-line during the watering process. The separate Solar Panel comes with a 5m cable and mounting brackets allowing it to be installed in a sunny position. An optional 5m extension cable can be purchased if the solar panel needs to be positioned further away.

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.
