At the heart of an expertly designed garden irrigation project is a sophisticated control system that can operate individual irrigation zones, start and stop irrigation pumps, monitor tank water levels, and receive information from an on-site weather station.
For smaller irrigation systems, irrigation control can be achieved by installing electronic taps that turn irrigation on and off in each zone, thanks to a single solenoid valve. These can be used in your garden, in a valve box, or adjacent to the controller in machine rooms.
In more sophisticated garden irrigation systems, the pump and water storage tank can be integrated to maintain constant water flow and pressure into the system. A small weather station can be located in your garden for weather awareness. This will monitor temperature and rainfall and change your watering schedule accordingly.
