Aquaterr Moisture Meters - the high technology tools that are changing the way water management is conducted. Join the many users who have discovered the benefits of "seeing" water distribution patterns in the soil. Those who have battled problem plants and tricky soil areas greatly appreciate the Moisture Meter's ability to help solve these problems. ConstructionAquaterr Instruments portable capacitance-based probes provide instant direct readings in a stainless steel and aluminum housing that will last for years. The fastest sensor response time in the industry allows you to check conditions anywhere as fast as you can walk and probe. This portability and speed means that these meters are the least expensive professional devices per test site available. With these devices, a manager or their assistant can quickly evaluate an area for problems without waiting for lab results. This is why these devices serve as aids to thousands of irrigation decision makers in millions of acres worldwide.

Our most popular models, are designed to closely track the "hand feel" method. The radio frequency capacitance sensor at the probe's tip instantly determines the amount of air and water in the soil, thus giving a direct readout in percent of saturation. These probes are well known for their use in irrigation timing, Et audit programs and determining the available water for deficit irrigation. However, some of the biggest benefits include: finding plugged emitters, bad sprinkler heads, pressure problems, wind effects and elevation effects on water distribution. The probe's quick response to changing conditions is found to be critical at times in the season when soil moisture can change rapidly, like during a heat wave.

Most popular where composting and early planting are important, these meters add the versatility of an electronic sensor which can measure to over 90 °C. CompostingKeeping temperature and moisture in the right range is critical to rapid decomposition as well as the prevention of anaerobic activity and in the worst case obnoxious smells. ProtectThe TEMP series can be used to optimize germination time and protect against threat of frost. Additionally it can help prevent chemical and fertilizer application from being ineffective due to incorrect soil temperature.

These meters add a salinity tracking inductance sensor to the moisture and temperature. Together these help prevent yield loss and poor plant quality. Salinity trackingTracking the salinity of the water entering and leaving an area can be critical as water is conserved. High salinity levels entering the field will reduce yield and quality while excessively high levels leaving could mean the water is transporting fertilizers or other costly chemicals away. Root zoneReadings taken in the soil root zone can help track the salt accumulation and determine the need for and effectiveness of leaching. This is extremely important to drip or low flow where leaching is not part of the natural process. Excessive salt buildup will lead to poor quality, lower yield and eventual plant death.
