About Garden Automation ›  How does an Automatic Watering System work?
What is it in the Automatic Watering System and what does it do?
  • The Automatic watering system delivers the right quantity of water to all your plants at the preset time.
  • It will deliver water up to 8 / 16 times per day (depending on the timer used) based on the preset time and duration desired.
  • It will continue to deliver the water for as long as there is water in your tap.
  • Consistency in watering promotes healthy plant growth. No worries when you are away from home for a holiday.
  • Liquid fertilizer can be injected into the tube and delivered together with the water.
