Water to Grow is actively improving irrigation technology with the new launch of their Extended Sprinkler Valve Controller and Master Valve Controller.

We are proud to power these solutions and help farmers control large-scale and complex irrigation systems.

Alongside the new and improved Master Valve Controller, we are introducing the Extended Sprinkler Valve Controller (SVCx) - designed for irrigation systems that require longer operating periods or continuous scheduling.

Many irrigation systems need valves to operate for extended periods beyond what traditional sprinkler controllers typically support. SVCx allows irrigation valves to run as scheduled irrigation zones within irrigation programmes, making it easier to integrate assets such as centre pivots, laterals, and other long-duration irrigation infrastructure into a single control platform.

We've released an important enhancement to Water to Grow's irrigation control platform. Our new Master Valve Controller allows a master valve to operate automatically in sync with both scheduled and continuous/rolling irrigation programmes.

We know maintaining stable pressure across irrigation systems can be challenging. Pressure spikes can lead to pump cycling, air ingress, equipment wear, and inconsistent irrigation performance.

Our improved Master Valve functionality includes configurable timing offsets to ensure water always has somewhere to flow when valves operate - helping reduce pressure spikes and improving overall system stability.
