A classic irrigation timer does just one thing: it opens the valve at the set time and closes it when the duration is up. It makes no difference whether it's raining or the soil is already wet. ESTRON, by contrast, takes watering off a fixed rule and manages it according to the site's condition that day. The result: plants get exactly the water they need, while wasted water and energy are avoided.
What it bases watering on
ESTRON doesn't rely on a single piece of information — it looks at several sources at once:
- Time and day: you decide which area is watered on which day and at what time; the system carries out that schedule faithfully.
- Soil moisture: if the soil is moist enough, watering is postponed; when it dries out, it kicks in.
- Weather: using rainfall, temperature and wind data it works out the need and cuts the amount of water on days when rain is expected.
- Rain sensor: when rain starts, it stops watering automatically and prevents unnecessary water use.
It adjusts to the season
In summer a plant needs far more water than in spring. ESTRON tracks this on its own: as it gets warmer it lengthens watering, as it cools down it shortens it. You don't have to change the same program by hand every week — the system factors in the changing season for you.
Each area separate, all in order
Different areas in a garden have different needs: lawns are watered more often, trees less so. ESTRON manages each area to its own needs and queues the watering so that capacity isn't exceeded at once. That way the whole site is watered in an orderly fashion, without pressure dropping or lines clashing.
You're always in control
Even when it runs automatically, you have the final say. At any moment you can open or close an area by hand, say "water today" or postpone a program. Your command is applied instantly; once you're done, the system returns to automatic mode on its own.
