Lumo, the precision irrigation company that helps growers achieve and maintain precision irrigation quickly and efficiently, announced the release of a new 4″ smart valve.
Over sixty vineyards in Napa, Sonoma, and the Central Coast, including some of the best growers in the world, are already using Lumo to irrigate their vines because it gives them 24/7 remote control of their irrigations, block-level visibility into their applied water volumes, and real-time alerts and support when things don’t go to plan.
The new 4″ valves are ideal for 5-20 acre blocks and come with the same great features as their 2″ counterparts—they’re simple to install, easy to use, and more affordable than traditional systems that rely on hardwiring in solenoids and a complex patchwork of 3rd party tools.
Every Lumo smart valve comes with a built-in flow meter, allowing growers to track flow rates remotely and in real-time, schedule based on volume, and reconcile their water application to plan. The valves are also wireless, cloud connected, and solar powered, making installation easier and less expensive by removing the need to trench in wire.
