Very accurate
High frequency precision measurement technique with outstanding resolution
The sensor AquaFlex is used to measure the average soil moisture along a 3 m special measuring cable . Unlike point- measuring sensors such as the SMT100 the moisture is measured in a very large measurement volume . Single wet or dry spots are no longer an issue with the irrigation of lawns. The sensor AquaFlex is ideal for easy installation into an existing lawn . The special measuring cable has a robust jacket of polyethylene and is very durable . With special calibration this sensor is also suitable for use in civil engineering.
