Using a Gardena Water Control, your garden can be reliably and conveniently watered even if you are not at home, if the automatic irrigation system is started in the early morning hours or the evenings, less water evaporates, this saves money and ensures targeted, optimized irrigation
The settings on the Water Control are easy to operate using an innovative external rotary element for selection of the data and a confirmation button, which simply operate through pressing and turning
An easily-legible LC display shows all settings at a glance, the weatherproof operating unit can be removed to carry out the settings, thanks to an optional key lock, inadvertent adjustment of the settings can be prevented
Due to the extra-short watering duration in seconds, and the possibility of activation up to 6 times per day, the Water Control is ideal for use with a drip irrigation system, for plants in pots and troughs on the balcony and patio
Due to their limited soil volume, plant containers can only buffer a limited amount of water, and therefore require frequent, small amounts
If the irrigation has to be started immediately, this can be manually activated without removing the unit from the tap or changing the settings
The Water Control always works reliably due to the ‘Safe Stop’ technology, if the energy levels of the battery are too low to completely control an irrigation process, then this process is not commenced
The battery level indication in the display also tells you when the battery has to be replaced
Works effectively on connection of the Gardena Soil Moisture Sensor, the automatic irrigation is not activated if the soil moisture is sufficient, this permits an improved water supply for plants as well as water-saving irrigation
