By reading the sight glass, the Turf-Tec Evapotranspiration Gauge readily shows the amount of water needed for irrigation. This device avoids over and under irrigation, improves turf health, and prevents waste of water, fertilizer, topsoil, and labor. Used in different countries across the globe, this patented ET gauge is ideal for farmers, irrigation specialists, and government agricultural personnel.
The top of the ET gauge has a ceramic plate construction and a green cloth fabric covering to mimic the turfgrass canopy, solar absorption, and vapor diffusion. A check valve prevents rain entry. To operate, all you need to do is add distilled water. The distilled water evaporates, and the sight glass indicates the Evapotranspiration level. It uses water at the same rate as your crops and shows you when you need to water.
The USA-made Evapotranspiration gauge is as easy to use as a rain gauge and is a vital tool for irrigation. The unit includes a stainless steel mounting bracket, rain gauge, and user manual.
