Rain Bird 6mm Micro Dripline
A welcome addition to the dripline family, the 6mm micro tubing is ideal for pots, planters and containers. With a choice of emitter spacing (15cm & 30cm) and a flow rate of 3 litres per hour this product offers real flexibility and great results.
Control and monitor your sprinkler system from anywhere in the world using your web browser or our iPhone and Android apps.
A Hydrawise system is expandable to 36 zones, each of which can be assigned an individual name and tailored watering schedule based on the weather. A full color touchscreen on the controller combined with a simple wizard gets you up and connected to your wireless router in no time. From that point, all configuration is done in the Hydrawise app which you can trial online. Hydrawise uses your wireless internet (wifi) to access a live stream from weather stations close to you.
With Hydrawise your garden’s watering is based on the best available, up-to-date information on the weather conditions in your area without any need for you to install your own weather station or rain sensor.
Save water by automatically suspend watering based on temperature, predicted rainfall or actual rainfall. In addition to saving you water it will also save your plants by watering extra when hot weather is forecast!
Hydrawise’s flow meters allow you to detect broken pipes, spray heads and faulty wiring or valves.
The Hydrawise interface allows you to view the water usage for each watering cycle and set up email or SMS alerts when a zone’s water usage is abnormal. Find out exactly when your controller is going to water next, how much rainfall you’ve had, how much water you’ve saved and how much watering you’ve done.
Normally the way to find out about a wiring or valve issue is when you notice your plants have died or you get a large water bill. Hydrawise monitors the state of your wiring and valves and alerts you when abnormal current is detected – this could indicate a wiring short, a broken wire, or a faulty solenoid.
The Hydrawise controller uses your wifi network to access the internet directly through your router – no need to leave your computer on or make any network changes. Simply enter your wireless password into the unit and you’re done!
Hydrawise is fully compatible with traditional 24V AC irrigation controllers so you can rip and replace in no time!
TCR are pleased to announce 2015 to be a record breaking year this is not only on turnover but also our diverse portfolio of client base which has had an increase in our design (irrigation consultancy) which ranges from a development in Mayfair, London to parklands estates. In addition we are now assisting large landscape companies on commercial and residential properties in giving their clients and unrivalled service and look forward to giving an ongoing increased level of service for 2016.
As TCR’s development to become the leading irrigation company in Britain, we have appointed a Contracts Manager, Andy Richardson. Andy brings with him an impressive and well rounded 16 year record in the irrigation industry. Andy responsibilities will include working closely with contractors and clients representatives to ensure design becomes a reality.
TCR are delighted to welcome Stewart Worboys to our team in the South. Stewart is an experienced irrigation engineer and with his enthusiasm for the work and knowledge he will be an asset to the Company.
TCR are delighted to announce that due to the continued growth and development of the company we have now moved into our brand new Head Offices in Tarporley, Cheshire. Yet another exciting phase for TCR.
Due to TCR’s expansion in the South, we have relocated to Chobham, Surrey. This will enable TCR to service irrigation systems in Surrey and the Greater London areas.
TCR have taken delivery of a new John Deere “Gator” Utility vehicle, to add to their fleet of vehicles. The Gator will be an invaluable workhorse for the engineers on the large residential sites. The vehicle has specially designed tyres that do not churn up the turf. It enables them to get around site no matter what the terrain, carrying cargo when necessary. It speeds up processes for the engineers working around site. All necessary tools can be carried with them, without the need to constantly return to their vans, which could be parked quite some distance away, dependant on the size of the site.
TCR are proud to be appointed by a leading landscape company in the SE1 area of London. The system, which is in a high profile location has a storage tank located in the basement of large offices and is pumped using a pressurised system. The automated system is operated by a Rain Bird decoder controller. The system primarily waters flower beds surrounded by box and trees with single line necklaces.
It’s that time of the year when the office staff start the scheduling in of start ups of watering systems, to our works diary. For the start of this season we have pleasure in announcing that twelve new clients have moved their annual service contracts across to TCR Watering, from areas including Weybridge, Virginia Waters, Chobham, Esher and St Georges Hill. We have dedicated service engineers that work out of our Surrey Office, covering these areas and many more.
With our fully manned office and latest technology, clients are emailed within 24 hours of completion of works, with written reports listing any defects and whether we have repaired them. Our engineers will also note on the report, any additional works required, if any.
TCR Watering’s Annual Service Contract holders are given priority on call outs throughout the season, over non contract holders and on critical works we endeavour to attend site within 48 hours from the client calling the office, which gives TCR’s Service Contract holders the confidence to know that their irrigations systems are being well looked after. We pride ourselves in being client lead and all works are carried out by our own competent engineers.
Not only do we offer annual service contracts and servicing, we also offer design and installation services.
