This advanced system allows for precise watering across two zones, ensuring reduced water consumption and healthier plants. You can set custom timers for regular watering or program the temperature sensor to automatically provide extra water when temperatures rise. The Pro pump delivers 35psi, making it suitable for soaker or porous hoses. It's WiFi enabled, allowing remote control and monitoring, with email alerts for high/low temperatures, watering activity, or low tank levels (requires home WiFi connection for alerts). WaterMate offers significant convenience by automating irrigation, saving you time compared to manual watering. Its pressurised, high flow rate off-grid pump system is ideal for water butts or tanks, providing a consistent water supply. The system's targeted watering, using fittings like drippers, minimizes water wastage by delivering water directly to the root zone, preventing over or under-watering and promoting better root development. Consistent soil moisture levels reduce plant stress and drought damage, while watering at ground level helps prevent fungal diseases on foliage.
