CWS Planter Liners

with Built-in Irrigation

CWS Planter Liners combine Planter Technology’s low-maintenance container irrigation system with a leakproof planter liner. The hand-filled double walled reservoir surrounds the planting area and holds up to 2-4 weeks worth of water. The units, manufactured in pre-consumer recycled High Impact Polystyrene, come in over 100 standard sizes and may be custom trimmed to fit each installation precisely.

Applications

With CWS Planter Liners construction of planter walls is simpler than ever – no irrigation or plumbing required. They may be used in both exterior and interior applications, and are ideal when conventional irrigation isn’t possible or practical. They may be dropped into window boxes, or painted and used on their own. For longer runs and within planter walls they are typically installed modularly, end to end. For interior applications CWS Planters Liners require no drainage.

How CWS Planter Liners Work

CWS Planter Liner vacuum-sensor reservoir surrounds the planting area, and is filled by hand every 1-2 weeks for exterior applications and every 3-4 weeks for interior applications. The fill hole is plugged with a stopper, creating an airtight reservoir.
When the soil is dry (indicating the plants need water), the moisture sensor allows air to pass through the clear tube into the reservoir, allowing water to flow into the container from the water inlet locations along the bottom of the liner. One moisture is all that is required for CWS Planter Liners up to 72"L. The water wicks up through the soil, irrigating the plants.
As the soil becomes moist, the sensor (typically planted 1/3-way down the liner) 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.

Overflow drainage adapter – a free-draining overflow adapter for CWS Planter Liners in exterior applications. The adapter allows rainwater to drain, but will prevent irrigation water from overflowing under normal conditions.

When installed, the overflow drainage adapter allows excess water that builds up (typically rainwater) to escape without disrupting the system.
