Weather responsive SMART Solar Automatic watering system
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 – to help them thrive.
NEW FEATURES OF THE SOL-C24 L SERIES:
Compatible with our cleanable drippers, seep hose or flat hose the C24L comes with 12 drippers to get you started. We offer a variety of extension kits to increase the capacity should you need it.
The kit includes the C24 SMART controller with integrated pump, inlet filter, anti-siphon, water level sensor (with 5m cable), 15m tube, 12 drippers, 12 stakes, 12 T pieces, 3 x AA rechargeable batteries (Please note batteries may have substantial charge initially, and you will need to follow the procedures in the instructions to run them down during initial setup).
The new 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. The water level sensor comes with a 5m cable - if the controller is positioned further away the water level sensor can either be disabled, or you can use a 5m extension cable.
Night mode - the system now detects when it is dark and switches the controller off to prevent watering at night.
Waters up to twice the capacity of the SOL-C12L

The SOL-C24L connects to the following Irrigatia Kits:
Drippers: Use for pots, baskets and individual plants.
Seephose: Ideal for short runs in a mixed dripper / seephose environment, germinating seedlings, watering plant troughs and small beds.
Flat Hose: Ideal for flower beds, raised beds, vegetable plots, fruit trees and fruit cages.
OVERVIEW
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 200 litre water barrel typically lasts 1 week to 10 days.
No mains, wires, or hosepipes needed nor heavy watering cans to lug water around the garden.
