 About DrainVision

• Wireless, cloud-base irrigation monitoring system:

Data presented in a user-friendly platform available
online from any digital device.
• Frequent and Accurate Measurements of:
‐ Irrigation and drain timing and quantity
‐ Water content in the substrate
‐ EC and PH in the drain
‐ Radiation
• To be used for any type of substrates
• Online alerts
• Integrated with climate control systems
