Groundskeeper
The Groundskeeper® is a versatile garden assistant which helps you harness the potential of your rainwater storage, making it work harder for you, giving you more time to enjoy your outdoor space.
It combines the convenience of an automatic watering system with the versatility of a water butt pump, all powered by powerful solar generator. Its simple, glove friendly, controls and advanced features help conserve water reserves, improve water quality, and optimise plant care.
Innovative features
Dawn/dusk watering, moisture and temperature sensing help to look after your plants and conserve limited water reserves.
The advanced filtration, UV-C water treatment, powerful run-dry, self-priming pump and anti syphon valve provide you with clearer, cleaner water for garden tasks.
Customisable irrigation duration and frequency as well as The handy "Water now" and "Hose" modes allow the Groundskeeper to provide flexible irrigation and water-transfer.
It's easy to set up too, with quality easy-click hose fittings and physical, glove-friendly controls - no fiddly screens or annoying apps!
Advanced plant care
Streets ahead of primitive timer watering systems, the Groundskeeper senses sunrise and sunset, providing intelligent watering, with soft rainwater, at dawn/dusk when plants most benefit, and eliminating annoying clock changes. If your plants need a quick watering boost, e.g. after a hot day, the clever "Water now" feature does this at the touch of a button.
It prevents overwatering by skipping watering if the ground is too wet, and an external temperature sensor protects against frost damage.
The Groundskeeper improves the quality of the water with particulate and innovative UV-C treatment to reduce contaminants, including bacteria, viruses and spores to protect plants and irrigation systems.
Versatile off-grid hose
The Groundskeeper's powerful pump can output 12 litres per minute with a head height of 3m. The innovative “Hose” mode turns your water butt into a versatile off-grid hosepipe, for tasks like watering borders, topping up ponds, washing the car etc.
Or attach the Groundskeeper's 'water in' hose to a paddling pool or hot tub etc. for effortless set-and-forget emptying.
Add "Water now" mode to "Hose" mode and you can specify a limited duration of operatiion, perfect for running a lawn sprinkler or watering in a new shrub.
Optimise water resources
The Groundskeeper helps you conserve water reserves with customisable watering duration and frequency, dawn/dusk watering to prevent evaporation and skipping watering if the ground is already moist enough .
The handy Hose mode can be used to transfer water between containers, enabling you to maximise your water reserves.
Large capacity
The Groundskeeper is powerful enough to be used in large gardens or allotments or to water multiple areas simultaneously e.g. polytunnels, greenhouses, borders etc.
It provides near mains pressure water right to the end of the irrigation line or hosepipe providing water wherever you need it in the garden, including uphill of the water source.
Sustainable power
The powerful 50Wp solar panel and 72Wh battery provides enough power to run up to 40 minutes of scheduled irrigation and use "Hose mode" between 2 - 7 hours, depending on sun conditions.
With solar power and an inbuilt battery you don't need a mains electricity supply or to worry about changing or recharging batteries.
