CWF Flower Bowl
Container Irrigation System
Finally, an irrigation solution for the most maintenance intensive of containers! Planter Technology’s self-contained CWF irrigation system is designed to be dropped into most flower bowls, shallow pots, urns and vases between 18" and 36" in diameter. The hand-filled vacuum-sensor reservoir surrounds the planting area, and holds enough water to last up to 2 weeks before refilling. A tremendous labor savings for always-thirsty color bowls.
Planter Technology’s overflow drainage adapter prevents rainwater from flooding the container, and keeps irrigation water contained during normal use. No more overflowing saucers, stained surfaces, or slip-and-fall liability. The CWF may be fully planted and prepared off-site, and quickly switched out on location. The property owner/manager will appreciate eliminating mess and inconvenience. Lightweight yet extremely durable, it will hold up to the roughest of handling and years of service.

How the CWF Works
The CWF vacuum-sensor reservoir surrounds the planting area, and needs to be filled by hand every 1-2 weeks. The fill hole is plugged with a stopper, creating an airtight reservoir.
When the soil is dry (indicating the flowers or plants needs water), the moisture sensor allows air to pass through the clear tube into the reservoir, allowing water to flow into the container from the holes in the bottom. The water wicks up through the soil, irrigating the plants.
As the soil becomes moist, the sensor (typically planted 1/3-way down the container) absorbs water. When wet, it acts like a valve, blocking the flow of air through the tube. A vacuum is created above the reservoir, preventing further watering until the soil dries again.
The overflow drainage adapter allows excess water that builds up (typically rainwater) to escape without disrupting the system. Some watering-in may be initially necessary (especially with "liners" or "six-packs") to encourage root development into the surrounding soil.
