Smart
Valve - Applications
Smart Tray
A Smart Valve® connected to a water container placed
into a suitable tray containing a layer of capillary matting
on the base of the tray, which transmits the water to plant
pots placed on the matting.
A 5l water container can maintain
a 1m2 tray of flowering plants for up to four weeks
and greenery plants for up to two months without the need
for re-watering.
Once the container is empty, it is simply replaced or re-filled
and the system becomes functional again and the watering cycle
continues.
Longer periods can be achieved simply by increasing the capacity
of the container. Growers can use the Smart
Valve® as
a sensor/dripper, running a line containing a Smart
Valve®
from a large water butt to control watering in a greenhouse
environment.
Smart Tray
Smart Trough
This is similar to the Smart Tray except
that the trough has high sides to completely hide the pots.
The plants are watered on demand by a unitized water reservoir
(typically 5 litres), which is refilled when empty and continues
to water the plants in a simple user-friendly manner.
As well as simplifying the watering process, water consumption
can be readily seen on removal and accurately monitored.

Smart Pot
Smart Pot is the simplest and
most straightforward application. It is a straightforward watering
system, which is designed to keep household pot plants flourishing
without constant attention. The pot plant is inserted into
the double walled container fitted with a Smart Valve®,
which contains a hidden 1litre reservoir. On demand water is
released from the reservoir straight to the plants roots. A
water level indicator has been placed on the side of the Smart
Pot so it can be easily seen when water
is to be added to the system.
This system provides user-friendly fool proof houseplant care.
