What is the Groundskeeper? - Coming soon 2025
More than a watering system
The Groundskeeper is a smart, powerful, solar powered, water distribution system. Connect it to your water butt and irrigation hose, select desired watering options, and you have a powerful plant watering system. Alternatively connect to a garden hose and use the versatile hose mode to pump water wherever you need it.

With its powerful pump, soil moisture monitoring, dawn/dusk watering with adjustable duration, water now button, and versatile hose mode it is packed with clever features to make gardening simpler.

Solar powered irrigation
The 50Wp solar array and 72Wh battery storage means you can set up a self contained watering system anywhere you have access to rainwater and sunshine, using the power of the sun to both grow and water your plants! It’s perfect for ensuring optimal watering of gardens, greenhouses, allotments, tree saplings and smallholdings.
What is the Groundskeeper?
Optimal times for watering
The innovative dawn/dusk watering programme ensures plants are watered at optimal times, avoiding scorching and minimising evaporation. Simple to set up, there’s no fiddly timers or watering time drift due to changing seasons.
And if your plants need a boost (e.g. after a very hot day) simply hit the water now button for an instant additional watering cycle.
What is the Groundskeeper?
Rainwater irrigation
Simply connect the Groundskeeper to a water butt, using the quality brass fittings provided, to use soft rainwater for watering your plants; It’s better for them than mains water and avoids hosepipe ban restrictions too!
What is the Groundskeeper?
Clog free watering
Connecting directly to the water butt tap avoids drawing up sediment from the bottom (as can sometimes happen with submersible water butt pumps) and the washable, in-line, filter catches any fine sediment, preventing clogging of irrigation pipes.
What is the Groundskeeper?
Improved water quality
In addition to particulate filtration the Groundskeeper also has a UV filter to reduce levels of bacteria, viruses and mould in the water. Meaning your plants get clearer, cleaner water to help them grow.
What is the Groundskeeper?
Versatile hose mode
The Groundskeeper's innovative and versatile hose mode enables you to use your water butt for more than just simple irrigation. Need to top up a pond? Empty a paddling pool? Move water between water butts? Or just water something with a hose? No problem! Hose mode enables you to use the powerful pump to achieve these jobs with ease.

Safer, more efficient watering
The Groundskeepers connection to the water butt tap ensures the lid can remain closed, minimising contamination by leaves, mosquito larva or unfortunate wildlife, as well as preventing evaporation. Using the Groundskeeper, rather than manually watering, with a watering can or water butt pump and hose, minimises water use and saves you time too!
