Sunset Measured Irrigation Controller

Sunset Measured Irrigation Controller

The Sunset Measured Irrigation Controller is simply the Universal Measured Irrigation Controller where the adjustable float and associated water supply is replaced by a float switch. It is the appropriate choice of irrigation controller for plants with a shallow root zone or plants in sandy soil.

Key features of the Sunset Measured Irrigation Controller

1. Completely automatic
2. Smart irrigation controller – the irrigation is controlled by the prevailing weather conditions rather than a program
3. Use for both gravity feed and pressurised irrigation
4. Use for any size irrigation application and any size solenoid valve
5. Use for sprinkler or drip irrigation
6. Use for porous hose irrigation (weeper hose or soaker hose)
7. Use with pressure compensating drippers or non pressure compensating drippers.
8. A light sensor provides the option of irrigating at night time only without using a timer
9. When the switch on the control box is in the ON night only position, the irrigation starts at sunset provided that the water level is below the float switch
10. You can adjust the water usage by adjusting the control dripper
11. Adjusting the water usage does not change the irrigation frequency
12. The water usage is directly proportional to the onsite net evaporation rate
    This is a unique feature of measured irrigation
13. Respond appropriately when there is an unexpected heat wave
14. When it rains, water enters the evaporator and delays the start of the next irrigation
15. The water usage is independent of the water supply pressure
    This is a unique feature of measured irrigation
16. Uses much less water without affecting the yield
17. There is no minimum water supply pressure
18. Simple and low tech and so there are fewer things to go wrong
