Sol-C12L Weather Responsive Irrigation Dripper Kit

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-C12 L SERIES

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.

The kit includes the C12L SMART controller with integrated pump, inlet filter, anti-siphon, water level sensor (with 5m cable), 15m tube, 12 drippers, 12 stakes, 12 tees, 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).

MAXIMUM WATERING CAPACITY

To assist in selecting the most appropriate Irrigatia controller, we have devised a simple method to demonstrate each product’s capacity. We call them ‘Irrigation Units’, or ‘IU’ for short.

The SOL-C12L is suitable to irrigate one of the stated maximum planting quantities, or a combination thereof.

12 x 20 litre pots | 12 x tomato plants | 24 x pepper plants | 36 x strawberry plants | 12m row vegetable or flower beds

EXTENSION KITS

The SOL-C12L 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.

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 3 weeks.

No mains, wires, or hosepipes needed nor heavy watering cans to lug water around the garden.
