A soil moisture monitor is utilized to determine the volumetric water content (VWC) of soil. By measuring VWC, you can manage irrigation more effectively. This water content is a measure of how much water is present in the soil relative to the total volume of the soil.
Water damage is a major concern for homeowners and businesses alike. Excessive moisture can lead to mold, mildew, and other problems. A soil moisture monitor can help you identify areas of high moisture that may be susceptible to damage.
Using a soil moisture monitor is easy. Simply insert the probe into the soil and read the display. The display will show the VWC of the soil.
A moisture tester is also known as a soil moisture sensor.
