Surge in demand for smart irrigation systems

Irrigation management is becoming essential in any landscape planning initiative, due to the growing need to mitigate against water shortages, and to protect the large investment into expensive plants.

“Any client, big or small know what it costs if the new plants die, even if they would rather not think about it or pass the responsibility to someone else,” says Chris Fermor, director of irrigation firm, LeakyPipe®.

“The fact is, plant loss is a fact-of-life in most new soft landscaping. This is unnecessary with judicious application of water. This operation can indeed be a person with a watering can, but there is a world of possibilities for a better more effective and cost-saving method.

Leaky Pipe’s GRP Enclosure Package contains everything needed for a water-efficient, self-adjusting, weather-responsive control system working LeakyPipe® sub-surface watering, as well as monitoring irrigation water flow as well.

“This is the cutting edge of water efficiency within irrigation systems and it’s delivered to Site as a complete package, ready for work as soon as the services are connected. The irrigation water can be directed straight to the root zone according to a user-programmed schedule or can be left to adjust itself to daily shifts in the weather,” says Chris.

“This activity can be remotely monitored and adjusted via the GSM network & internet browser. Packages can include remote support from Leaky Pipe Systems Ltd to help users get the best from their system,” adds Chris.

These compact units are helping to minimise expensive plant loss, accelerate growth & beautify green urban environments and the countryside.
