Moisture Monitoring

Description Get reliable soil moisture readings in seconds. The Blumat Digital Moisture Meter is purpose-built for potting soil, giving you consistent results you can trust. Unlike cheap probes or finger tests, it delivers accurate, repeatable readings instantly. Whether you’re managing a Blumat system or simply want healthier plants, this is the tool that takes the guesswork out of watering and helps you maintain the soil sweet spot for healthier, more resilient plants. Available Options Choose the setup that fits your needs: Meter Only – Base unit for reliable soil moisture readings. Meter + Protective Cap – Adds UV and moisture protection for outdoor use. Meter + Protective Cap + Battery – Includes a spare CR2032 3-volt battery so you’re never caught without power. Complete Kit (Meter + Cap + Battery + Coring Tool) – Full field kit with the Blumat Coring Tool (1" wide, 11"+ long) for precise sensor installation and low-impact soil work. Notes The top of the meter is not waterproof. Do not submerge or expose it to standing water. Protective cap should not be seated directly into soil, as trapped humidity can damage the sensor.

Information you can use, when you need itMeasure the soil moisture available for your plants and automatically transmit to an IrroCloud Monitor. This tensiometer measures moisture levels in centibars and gives you the same information as typical analog versions you have to see in person. You can hook up to 6 of these to every IrroCloud Monitor and see the data on your smart phone, desk computer, or laptop anywhere in the world. The user-friendly IrroCloud software lets you see the  data in many ways—graphs, averages, individual sites, rain events, and several other useful configurations, turning the data into actionable information.

Real-time, accurate data showing you the moisture levels at each sensor in your system - too wet, too dry, or just right! It not only gives you the here-and-now information but also has an adjustable timeline for historic and/or specific dates and times. For example, you can start with a 3-month graph and then zoom in on any day and time.Although very simple, easy to use and interpret, it still provides vital, accurate, and critical information. It even tells you how many hours and minutes your irrigation system was on as well as rain gauge information (if you get that option).The four C batteries that normally last more than 2 years power the IrroCloud which connects with up to 6 Voltage Irrometers for soil moisture readings. These sensors report directly to the IRROcloud platform without any need for additional gateways or devices. If not the most, at least one of the most simple, affordable, and reliable solutions for automatically collecting sensor data and storing it in the cloud, for quick access at any time. Since the IrroCloud doesn't require an external power source or even a solar panel, you can easily install it in even the most challenging fields and orchards.The IRROcloud web application provides an intuitive interface with a quick reference dashboard and graphing suite.

Standard WATERMARK Soil Moisture Sensor. For use with all crops. To be used with WATERMARK Meter, Monitor, Voltage Adapter or a compatible device. Reads electrical resistance in 0-200 centibar (cb) and kilopascal (kPa) range. Comes standard with half inch stripped and tinned ends. 15' (4.5 m) length This sensor consists of a pair of highly corrosion resistant electrodes that are embedded within a granular matrix. A current is applied to the WATERMARK to obtain a resistance value. The WATERMARK Meter or Monitor correlates the resistance to centibars (cb) or kilopascals (kPa) of soil water tension. The WATERMARK is designed to be a permanent sensor, placed in the soil to be monitored and "read" as often as necessary with a portable or stationary device. Internally installed gypsum provides some buffering for the effect of salinity levels normally found in irrigated agricultural crops and landscapes. Click here for Irrometer's instruction manual.

The IRROMETER Model LT (Low Tension) tensiometer was designed to operate in coarse sandy soils and non-soil growing media. With a range of 0-40 centibars (cb) or kilopascals (kPa), this instrument is for use in situations where tensions above 30 cb (kPa) are rarely expected. Gauge increments of 1 cb (kPa) provide a benefit where finer resolution near saturation is needed. This model instrument is also well suited for conditions where rapidly changing soil moisture conditions need to be observed. The "Quick-Flo" ceramic tip is colored blue for easy identification. Model LT IRROMETERS can be used for manual measurement and tracking of soil moisture status in coarse sandy soils and growing media. When equipped with optional electronic output and data logging equipment, measurement and tracking can be done automatically. The low tension vacuum gauge on this model can be replaced with electronic measurement options, or automatic switching devices which can activate peripheral equipment at desired soil water tension levels. See the "Automation and Output Options" specifications for more details. The Model LT is the best choice for container media such as peat, bark, sand, perlite and vermiculite. It can also be used in any soil when the moisture is being managed close to field capacity. Click here for Irrometer's instruction manual.

The IRROMETER Model MLT (Miniature Low Tension) tensiometer was designed for use in small containers commonly used in greenhouses and nurseries. Its compact design and short insertion depth of 4.75 inches (12 cm) allows the MLT to be installed in smaller growing vessels. With a range of 0-40 centibars (cb) or kilopascals (kPa), this instrument is for use in situations where tensions above 30 cb (kPa) are rarely expected. Gauge increments of 1 cb (kPa) provide a benefit where finer resolution near saturation is needed.
