You usually notice a water leak in your garden only once things have already gone wrong: yellowing turf, muddy patches or a rising water bill. ESTRON sees the problem much earlier. It continuously measures the amount of water passing through each valve and alerts you the moment it deviates from normal.

How does it work?

The ESTRON flow sensor learns the normal water flow of each irrigation line. If, during watering, the flow departs from this normal value, the system treats it as a warning sign and notifies you. All of this happens automatically; there is nothing for you to keep watching.

Which problems does it catch?

A change in flow is a strong clue about what has gone wrong in the field:

  • If the flow is lower than expected — there is usually a blockage, a dirty filter or a faulty sprinkler. It means the plants are not getting enough water.
  • If the flow is higher than expected — there is most likely a pipe break or a leak, and water is running to waste.
  • If water still flows while the valve is closed — the valve is not closing fully, and water can be lost unnoticed overnight.

What do you gain?

The biggest benefit is learning about a problem before it grows. Even a small unnoticed leak can turn into cubic metres of wasted water over a day or overnight. By catching that loss early, ESTRON protects both your water bill and your garden.

You also no longer have to go out and check every fault one by one. The system tells you which line has the problem, so you can go straight to that spot. You save time, fuel and labour.

Practical note: if you wish, you can set ESTRON to automatically shut the relevant valve when the flow exceeds a certain limit. That way, even if a pipe bursts, water will not run to waste until you notice it.
