Do your products and devices include any warranties?
Yes, our soil moisture probes include a 5 year carry in warranty, while our data logging devices include an 18 month carry in warranty.
Are your products and devices compatible with other systems?
Our soil moisture probes and data logging devices are compatible with most other leading soil moisture management systems.
How does the AquaCheck system work?
Our soil moisture management solution works using four key components: the soil moisture probe; the data logging device (which transmits data), the soil moisture management software and the agronomy support service.
The soil moisture probe continually monitors and logs both the moisture and temperature of the soil. This information is then transmitted via the data logging device directly to the online soil moisture management software. Alternatively, data can be captured manually by the farmer/grower using a Bluetooth device or handheld wireless logger and then uploaded to the online software.
ACWEB, our online software analyses the data it receives and provides detailed insights, statistics, graphs and other data which allow the farmer or grower to plan irrigation cycles using the information at their disposal.
The agronomy service is an electronic-support service where we equip the farmer or grower with the necessary expertise in order to make informed decisions regarding their irrigation management.
What savings can I expect by using a water management system such as AquaCheck?
The actual savings you will achieve will depend on season, weather conditions and location. Reported results from our farmers and growers indicate significant savings, not only in the amount of water used, but also electricity consumption. Farmers also reported higher yields and improved quality of their produce, thus resulting in a higher gross profit.
What does the AquaCheck probe measure?
All variants of the AquaCheck Soil Moisture Probe measure both the moisture content and temperature of soil at each measuring depth.
Can I use my own irrigation management software?
Yes, you may use your own software. Our AquaCheck soil moisture probes and data logging devices are compatible with most leading irrigation management software.
I have very bad cellular reception on my farm? Can you still help me?
Either our Bluetooth module or our Shuttle logger enables you to visit your probes to gather data manually. From here, you can upload your data to your irrigation management software of choice, for example, ACWEB.
Can I upgrade from a manual system to an automated one?
Yes, this would entail a minor change to the probe and adding either our solar powered or battery powered telemetry device.
