For systems that are left unattended for long periods of time, we recommend using a flow sensor along with a “smart” irrigation computer and master valve. Thus, in case of conspicuously high water demand – e.g. caused by an animal bite into a drip tube or the blocking of a valve – on the one hand the system can be switched off and on the other hand the owner can be notified on the cell phone.
