Good to know

Q: Why choose solar power?

If you don't have mains electricity in your greenhouse or polytunnel, with WaterMate you can still have powerful automatic watering. The battery is charged by a small solar panel which should be mounted outside to catch the most sun. Up to 10 minutes of watering time is possible per day in the summer (5 minutes most at one time).

Supplied with 3m of cable.

Q: Why choose mains power?

If you have 240v power, we recommend you use the mains version. You will be able to water for longer periods (if required - the pump can deliver plenty of water in just a couple of minutes), and won't be limited by darker days in winter. You will be able to add more pumps/misters or even their LED grow lights, heated seed trays for propagation, or heater cables.

The power supply comes with 5m of mains flex cable.

Q: Do I need a pump if I plan to run from a water butt or water tank?

Yes, you will need a pump to pressurise the water to ensure the water travels around the pipework and sprays/drips as expected. If you wanted to use gravity, you would need to elevate the water butt/tank 10m above ground level to ensure we have enough pressure... this isn't feasible for most people, so we suggest using a pump.

Q: Can I extend the greenhouse watering kit?

It is possible to extend the kit, but the pump that comes with the mini watering kit can only support up to 40 drippers or 12 micro sprays due to its low flow rate. If you plan to build a larger system, we suggest upgrading to the WaterMate Pro model to get a more powerful pump.
