Accurate root zone moisture and EC measurements in seconds

The WET Sensor from Delta-T Devices enables growers to measure three vital substrate properties: water content, pore water electrical conductivity (EC) and temperature.

Fast, accurate and easy to use, the WET Sensor is used by growers to take hundreds of substrate readings each day to guide fertigation decisions, helping to establish and maintain optimal growing conditions. Readings are displayed for immediate interpretation, and can also be stored on the hand-held HH2 Meter for later download to PC, archiving and seasonal management.



The WET Sensor’s strong sharp high grade steel rods make it easy to push the sensor into substrates, minimising root and structural disturbance. Temperature measurement, essential for compensating the EC measurement, is taken deep in the root zone, ensuring highest accuracy. Control of fertigation is critical for yield and quality, and effective control is only possible with accurate measurements.

The WET Sensor can also be used with a suitable data logger (Delta-T Devices GP1 and GP2 are ideal) for long term monitoring, particularly useful when other parameters are recorded at the same time.

WET Sensor substrate calibrations are available for growers using coir, peat, mineral wool, and potting soils. Up to five additional custom calibrations can be stored on the HH2 Meter, making the WET Kit one of the most versatile and powerful management tools for growers.

Delta-T Devices Tony Peloe said, “For many leading growers the WET Sensor has become an indispensable management tool – with hundreds of readings on a daily basis taken throughout the growing season. Such accurate data can help ensure crops are grown under optimal conditions, contributing to higher crop quality and yields.”
