With the arrival of spring, we are getting closer and closer to enjoying time outdoors, in gardens, terraces, backyards, etc. What do all these spaces have in common? Yes, they all need watering. Usually, this requires investing a lot of time, so if you are busy and do not have enough time, the installation of automatic irrigation controllers is a simple and very optimal solution for you and for your garden to always look perfect.
Depending on the type of installation you want and that is more recommended for your green space, we can find:
Types of automatic irrigation systems
Irrigation controller for faucets
The faucet irrigation controller is the easiest way to automate your irrigation. This programmer connects directly to the faucet and has a connection to incorporate an irrigation hose.
Mechanical or electronic controllers for faucets
Mechanical or electronic controllers allow you to program multiple watering time slots. What’s more, some of these timers are designed to independently power multiple irrigation circuits.
Remote irrigation controllers
These controllers connect directly to a water supply and are installed in conjunction with an in-ground or above-ground irrigation system.
They also allow irrigation to be programmed by zones so that each valve operates independently of the time in a time zone.
They are connected to the mains and some contain WI-FI functionality for remote control.
Don’t know what type of programmer to install? Let’s give you one last push. We tell you the main features of each one to make your choice much faster and easier.
Watering timer
Regardless of whether it is mechanical or electric, the timer on the device allows you to regulate the watering period you want for more than two hours, depending on the model.
One-way irrigation controller
This type of controller is recommended if you are looking for an automatic lawn irrigation system or a small drip irrigation system. Depending on the model you get, you can connect several watering strips with different durations.
Multiway irrigation controller
Same as the one-way controller, but with the difference that it has several outlets, making it more efficient.
Because it offers additional paths, it is the right controller for watering different areas, for example, lawn and orchard, as they don’t need the same kind of irrigation.
Remote irrigation controller
This controller is installed in the water supply network and with it you can control up to 15 different ways. With it you can treat each area of your garden as it deserves.
Besides, from Llaberia Hydraulic Shop we suggest that you acquire with this product a rain gauge to avoid watering when it rains and a humidity detector.
Now that you know a little more about automatic irrigation controllers, why don’t you buy the best one for your needs and spend with your family and friends the time you used to invest in irrigation?
