An indispensable thing for gardeners: smart faucet, which saves up to 30% of the water consumed Bashny.Net

Spring — a time of worries and troubles any Amateur gardener. You need to "cut" the chain, to prepare the seedlings for planting, plow and loosen the soil, which may require a pump station and a variety of garden tools.



That's only for a good harvest is not enough to prepare the earth for planting vegetables, fruit trees, lawn and ornamental planting are in need of a reliable sprinkler system. And here lies one of the problems.

Usually water from a well or from borehole pumps submersible pump provides constant pressure and pressure, but to the end user — the rose bushes, fruit trees or vegetable plants require different amounts of water. Overfilling or underfilling equally dangerous. In one case, the root system of the plant can begin to rot and the other plant will wither and die.



This problem allows you to solve a miniature device called the smart valve (or a "smart" crane), created by American inventors.The essence of innovations consists in the following. The crane, which consists of two devices – base and the valve-spout, connected to each other via Wi-Fi. The valve has a standard thread, is screwed on a garden faucet. On the other hand to be joined by the hose. The pump is activated and the device, subject to the program delivers exactly the amount of water necessary for the plant.



The volume of water can be strictly controlled, which is convenient when watering capricious plants.Base monitors changes in the weather and in case of rain or the onset of hot days, flexibly adjusts the level of pressure and volume of water flow. Because of this, plants always get exactly the amount of fluid that they need.

The device user can adjust valve operation remotely: using a mobile phone or tablet. You can also program the device for a specific seven-day schedule for each of the plants.

Thus, the life of the grower easier: no need to remember how much water is required for watering a particular plant, to fear that due to the high temperature the plants will wither, or fleeing from the country to the city, to think about, switched off the garden tap. Simply submit the command from the mobile phone and the device will block the water.



As option is possible through a special comb to combine several valves in the hub and a few minutes to organize a full-fledged, "intelligent" irrigation system for the garden, flower garden, lawn.The device produced by the method of 3D printing of high impact plastic, and the most critical parts (in particular, miniature impeller, for regulating the water flow) made of stainless steel. To increase the durability and reliability of valve, all the electronics is enclosed in a waterproof shell.



Tests showed that in addition to ease of use, the device allows to save up to 30% of the water consumed, because it minimizes any losses associated with irrigation "by eye". published
