What options do I have with using web based wi-fi controllers?
Have a look at the videos below to get an idea of what is available.
SKYDROP
If you’d like a system that takes the guesswork out of garden watering but still allows you to override or water manually whenever you want anywhere in the world, we recommend Skydrop. Skydrop calculates & programmes your watering frequency & duration for your local conditions & adjusts your watering needs every hour from weather reports & forecasts.

RAINBIRD LNK
If you’d like a system that allows you to enter your programmes using your smart phone we recommend Raindbird LNK Wi Fi. LNK will adjust your gardens watering needs by up to 40% every day from weather reports & forecasts. You can override or water manually whenever you want anywhere in the world.
How often and how long should I water for?
We are often asked this question & it is not always an easy one. We recommend you use Hunter Industries “Run Time Calculator” to take out the guess work.
It is easy to use and you can print off your schedule and keep it handy inside your Irrigation Controller.

What is the most efficient way to water my garden?
Drip Irrigation is by far the most efficient way to water your garden.
Here are the reasons why:
• Eliminate wind drift, run-off, misting, evaporation and staining.
• Keep the soil wet and the mulch dry – reducing weed growth.
• Site specific – irrigate narrow, tricky shapes that sprinklers just cannot achieve efficiently.
• Eliminates fungal problems caused by spraying water onto leaves.
• Unlike conventional systems, drip maintains uniform watering at ground level as plants grow where foliage would normally obstruct the throw of sprinklers.
• Works perfectly even in areas with low pressure and flow.
• Stimulates vigorous root growth resulting in rapid plant growth.
• Ability to apply soluble nutrients via the drip system – fertigation.
• Ability to use water with higher salt contents as there is no contact with plant leaves.
• Ability to use Grey water and treated effluent.
