As with most things these days is it now possible to control your irrigation system from your smart phone, tablet or computer. Technology can be a scary prospect for many and there can be reason to be cautious at times, but after monitoring the progress manufacturers have made with the panels over several years, we now have complete faith in these products. We have been fitting these panels in gardens around the country for the last year and experienced some of the benefits first hand. You may feel this isn’t necessary but here are a number of reasons why we at Irrifence feel that it is;

1. One of the main attractions for us and our customers is that we can access your system remotely from the office. This means if you ever feel that something is wrong or there may be a potential leak we can help to rectify this remotely which can potentially save you a call out fee. An ideal example of this would be if you’ve noticed your system hasn’t been running for a few days after a rainy spell and you don’t know why. Remotely, Irrifence can then log into your system to check the rain sensor to see if it’s still engaged and act accordingly.

2. Secondly you can access this from abroad so if you like to travel but have worries about your garden, this is ideal as you can check its being watered each night without any problem and if in fact there is an issue you can get us out to repair this whilst your away to prevent you coming back from holiday to any problems.

3. Thirdly it gives you the option of being very precise with how much water you actually use each cycle. You could save up to 50% of water used throughout a season using the predictive watering setting. It does this using local weather forecast either from professional weather stations or if you wanted to go one step further weather stations located in your garden. For example if it rains that day but has not given your garden enough water your irrigation system can automatically run putting out less water to ensure your garden is still watered sufficiently. Or on the other had it could be hotter for a period of time usually leaving areas of your garden needing more water, but with this panel it can adjust to ensure your garden is getting enough water through the hot period so it remains healthy and lush for the summer.

These are just some of the key capabilities of the WIFI panels If you require more information or have any questions please just give us a call (01788510601) or email (ops@irrifence.co.uk) and we will be happy to help.
