Soil Moisture Sensors - Irrometer Tensiometers
The IRROMETER Tensiometer is the standard in accurate soil moisture measurement, offering growers an inexpensive and reliable means of measuring soil moisture for irrigation scheduling. An IRROMETER will measure the actual soil water tension, which indicates the effort required by root systems to extract water from the soil. Because the IRROMETER is a true measurement of soil water potential, the instrument is not affected by salinity and does not require site calibration. The IRROMETER is available in several models, with standard lengths of 6", 12", 18", 24", 36", or 48" dependent on the rooting depth of the specific crop. Longer lengths are available by request.

Irrometer - Model SR Series - Tensiometer
Measuring soil moisture allows a grower to make informed irrigation scheduling decisions that will improve yields and quality while reducing water, fertilizer, labor, and energy costs. The IRROMETER SR measures soil moisture by interacting with the soil through a porous ceramic tip. As soil dries, it tries to pull water out of the instrument, creating vacuum measured by the gauge. This is a direct, physical measurement of the same tension plant roots ...

Irrometer - Model MLT Series - Tensiometer
Measuring soil moisture allows a grower to make informed irrigation scheduling decisions that will improve yields and quality while reducing water, fertilizer, labor, and energy costs. MLT IRROMETER’s are designed to operate in conditions where tensions above 30 cb (kPa) are not expected and compact size is needed such as containers or pots in greenhouse ...

Irrometer - Model AVS - Automatic Vacuum Switches
“AVS" Automatic Vacuum Switches are designed for use on IRROMETER instruments and provide direct switching capabilities according to soil moisture status. Soil water tension readings greater than the moisture set point can activate an irrigation valve solenoid, time clock or warning device. A switch mechanism is mounted on the instrument body and can be field adjusted by hand to the desired set point. The switch scale reads in centibars (cb) or ...

Soil Moisture Sensors - Watermark Soil Moisture Sensors
In use since 1978, the patented WATERMARK sensor is an electrical sensing device that is buried in the active root zone to measure soil water tension. The sensor consists of corrosion resistant electrodes embedded within a specialized granular matrix. Water in the soil exchanges with the sensor matrix, providing a measurement of centibars (or kPa) of soil water tension equivalent to the readings from an SR or LT tensiometer. The WATERMARK is designed to be a permanent sensor, left in the soil to be read by logging devices or handheld readers. We offer our own reading solutions, but the sensor is also widely used by industry partners in their own applications.

Watermark - Model 200SS - Soil Moisture Sensors
In use since 1978, the patented WATERMARK sensor is a granular matrix sensor used to measure soil water tension. Water in the soil exchanges with the proprietary matrix inside of the sensor, creating a relationship between measured resistance and soil water tension. The sensor consists of corrosion resistant electrodes imbedded within a granular matrix, contained in a perforated stainless-steel enclosure. Power (normally 2.5 to 5V) is applied to the ...

Reading Devices
Our IRROcloud IC-10®, WATERMARK Monitor, Handheld Meter, and IRROmesh solutions allow collection of data from sensors in the field. This collected data provides information about the soil moisture profile your irrigation practices have created, allowing for informed scheduling decisions. Data can be sent directly to the cloud, logged in the field for later collection, or manually collected with a meter.

Landscape Automation
Traditional irrigation controllers simply work on set time schedules, but newer technologies allow for "smart" controllers that make intelligent decisions based on the environment. IRROMETER irrigation control products allow any controller to become a smart controller by using our proven soil moisture sensing technologies. Our devices read the soil moisture before an irrigation and will prevent watering when not required by the plant, providing significant savings even over other smart irrigation methods.

WaterSwitch - AC & DC Landscape Automation System
The WaterSwitch works as an add-on device for existing valves or controllers to improve irrigation efficiency based on plant demand. The module will prevent irrigation cycles by signaling the controller’s sensor circuit or interrupting the solenoid power, when the soil moisture status is wetter than the adjustable set point. The kit includes one moisture sensor and has nine moisture set points allowing for a wide range of variation in plant and soil ...

Irrometer - Model SSAT - Soil Solution Access Tube Suction Lysimeters
The SSAT is a suction lysimeter that allows extraction of soil water samples from various depths for measurement of nitrate levels, salinity, EC, and other chemical elements. When used in conjunction with tissue analysis for calibration, nutrient management practices can be developed which allow the grower to adjust the rate and timing of fertilizer applications, resulting in increased production with decreased fertilizer costs and reduced nutrient ...
