Irrigatia weather responsive SMART irrigation controllers uniquely use solar power to detect the weather and alter watering according to the conditions and the season & providing plants with the precise irrigation & to help them thrive. Obviously, it was disappointing to have a defective PCB. We spent hours trying to figure out what I might have done wrong. But the company’s response and product’s performance once I exchanged the PCB made up for some of that. [Editor’s Note: There have been reports from other customers that they’ve had similar problems with the pump and have had it replaced by the manufacturer. This may be a quality control issue.]

TheIrrigatia Solar Irrigation Kit is available in two size options and provides a simple and highly effective solution to garden watering - just add water (and a water butt)! The solar control also does some of the thinking for you. By nature of how the batteries charge, the pump doesn’t run when it’s cloudy.

Delivery

Night mode - the system now detects when it is dark and switches the controller off to prevent watering at night. The SOL-C24 is suitable to irrigate one of the stated maximum planting quantities, or a combination thereof. Just drop the inlet filter into the water butt, position the control unit somewhere sunny, place your drippers in position, switch on and leave. The printed circuit board (PCB) in my controller was bad. The company promptly sent me a new PCB and instructions for replacing the bad one.

Easy to install and set up, and once in, the C-24 will water automatically with minimal supervision; ideal for small to medium gardens or allotments and can be used for pots, raised beds, hanging baskets, vegetables and greenhouses. It's great for tree and shrub establishment too. Unlike conventional timer systems, by watering little and often, the soil stays moist and water does not run off, saving you water. A 200 litre water barrel typically lasts 1 week to 10 days.
