Galcon GSI Controller

There is a broad selection of irrigation controllers available. So, if you are looking for a smart, web-based controller for agricultural irrigation and fertigation, it is worth getting a professional opinion as to which system suits your application.

Think Water stores in horticultural areas love the Galcon GSI web-based irrigation controller, which is now in its fifth year in the New Zealand market. The Galcon GSI was one of the first commercial irrigation controllers to feature secure online management from anywhere in the world and has proven very successful.

The Galcon GSI system’s interactive user interface and real-time notifications allow one operator to access and control multiple sites remotely, making it an essential tool for any agricultural business.

A couple of years ago, Galcon released the “AG” upgrade, which added volume-based and proportional control of fertiliser pumps to the controller’s capabilities. With the release of “V2” of the AG upgrade, the GSI can be an “all-in-one” control solution for many horticultural irrigation systems.

THE FULL SET OF ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS WITH THE AG V2 UPGRADE INCLUDE:

• Fertiliser pump control by time, volume, or proportional dosing;
• Back-flushing control of up to 12 filters by time, volume, or pressure differential;
• External sensor input to start, run, pause, or cancel programs;
• Co-valve function to pair up valve outputs for simultaneous operation;
• Program prioritisation to determine which program runs if there is an overlap.
• The optional completion of an irrigation program was paused due to an alert.
• Display of watering and fertigation progress on the user interface.

These new features allow the system to be used for misting, frost control, and irrigation. The filter back-flushing functions also make the unit a more cost-effective solution, as the cost of a stand-alone filter flushing controller can, in many cases, be saved.
