Smart Valve Eco-Friendly Automatic Watering Kit

Smart Valve Eco-Friendly Automatic Watering Kit Code: XGV006

£18.95 inc. p&p 18.9500 In Stock New

Smart Valve® is the World’s first ‘Polymer Moisture Sensor’ Water Valve. It is 100% automatic, working without power, computers or electronics. Simply position it in your plants’ hydroponic or capillary matted growing tray, set the water depth required (7-20mm) using the adjustable depth regulator and connect it to a water reservoir of your choice. Plants regulate their own water requirements - once the water has been used up Smart Valve® automatically refills the tray! This provides a completely natural ‘wet and dry’ cycle for plants, ensuring there is no over or under-watering and reducing the risk of disease and bacterial root infections. It not only saves time and effort, but also saves over 35% of normal water usage. Also Ideal for holiday watering. Supplied with 1.25m (4ft) black PVC flexible tubing, outlet fitting, hole forming tool and full instructions.


Price includes p&p.

 

Regular watering is essential for crops grown in containers, hanging baskets and grow bags. It is important to channel water direct to the roots of thirsty plants and we offer various solutions that will take care of this.  Weather responsive SMART drip irrigation systems can be installed to deliver water directly to plants when they most need it. Applied slowly, water gradually soaks to the roots, rather than running off or evaporating. It will save you time and reduce the amount of water that's wasted.
