Hozelock will be showcasing a range of new easy-to-use products designed to revolutionise automated home watering at Glee.

The range enables people to save time, safeguard the health of their plants and use less water by control their watering remotely.

The range is led by the ground-breaking Cloud Controller (SRP £114.99) which allows people to control their watering via their mobile and a refreshingly straightforward App. It uses a low-power, long-range radio to connect to the internet while the App eliminates any need for complex timer programming. The device – see illustrations on the front page – can even suggest changes to watering patterns based on local weather data. 

“In a world where 328 million Apps are downloaded every day and the typical British household already has at least seven connected devices, gardens are finally becoming a natural part of the connected home,” explained Carol Wright, Hozelock’s UK Marketing Manager. “When we first presented the Cloud Controller to international markets in April, the reaction was overwhelmingly positive and we are sure that the UK’s reaction will be similarly enthusiastic.”

The Cloud Controller is complemented by Hozelock’s new Sensor Controller range and Easy Drip watering system, providing an integrated and flexible watering solution.

The Sensor Controller is designed to sell at £35.99 and the Sensor Controller Plus (pictured) £44.99. 

Because most people like to water at dawn or dusk, the Sensor automatically adjusts the time the garden will be watered as the seasons change. The range is ready straight of the box, pre-set for the most popular duration of 10 minutes watering.  Users simply choose whether they would like the garden to be watered at dawn, dusk or both and change the duration to any period between two minutes and one hour. The Sensor Controller Plus also includes additional frequency adjustments, from daily to once a week.

 The new Easy Drip complete kits start from SRP £32.99. Their universal drippers safely pierce the hose without cutting and the new flexible pipe makes it easy to adjust positioning.

The Hozelock Easy Drip system overcomes gardener’s perception of complexity of traditional automatic watering systems. Compatibility with other systems means users can easily add it to an existing set-up.

The range includes attractively packaged kits for borders and beds and for containers and baskets

Wright added: “Hozelock has carried out a huge amount of research and worked very closely with a wide cross-section of retailers to make sure that the new range will revolutionise automated watering and successfully increase sales in garden centres and hardware stores across the country.”
