Sensor Technology that Works
Save money, water, and the environment
The Acclima Digital TDT® Soil Moisture Sensor represents a revolutionary advance
in the irrigation industry It is the first moisture sensor to incorporate the accuracy of digitized Time Domain Transmissometry (TDT) in a low-cost instrument, providing
highly accurate absolute readings of soil moisture under all conditions of temperature and soil chemistry under which crops will grow. No other sensor on the market matches
its accuracy and stability. Independent test data from the Center for Irrigation Technology and other leading soil physicists verifies this extraordinary claim and are
available upon request.
The key to Acclima's accurate irrigation is the sensor. The sensor measures moisture by volume on an absolute basis reporting accurate readings to the controller.

"I have been working in the landscape industry or over twenty years with what is today the sixth largest school district in the country with an average of six inches of rain... During the last two years I have tested the Acclima system in different types of landscape and the conversion to the system was simple and easy. The Acclima Moisture Sensors really work and, in different soil types... The two-wire path has saved hundreds of hours in labor to repair on bundles of wire that are cut during other construction projects. The turf is uniform and healthy even during periods when I just deficit water. I have converted several sites to the Acclima system and have plans to use the system in new construction... see for yourself; do not miss out on some really great New Technology. -Greg Barnes Clark County School District
It's all Inside the Sensor
Digital TDT® is the answer
Acclima has revolutionized the irrigation industry with their patented Digital TDT® Moisture Sensor. The sensor is the industry's only absolute moisture sensor capable or operating in all soil types and under all growing conditions without calibration. Why calibrate? Acclima sensors are accurate anywhere in all soil conditions from clay to sand.
The sensors enable Closed Loop Irrigation® or direct feedback from the soil to the controller. Like a thermostat you set the moisture threshold and the controller maintains it. Once the system is set it is truly automatic. There is no need to make seasonal adjustments or delay the system due to rain or local weather conditions. The sensor is completely automatic.
Closed Loop Irrigation® At WorkThe graph demonstrates how moisture sensors automatically regulate irrigation and save water. The dots indicate watering cycles. The controller was set to water at 20% moisture. Notice the moisture increasing during the watering cycles, decreasing fast during the day and slowly at night. As the temperature fell from the 80s to the 70s the watering duration automatically lengthened from watering ever 3 days to 7 days. The customer automatically saved 30% water during the month without making any adjustments to their controller. |
