How to uninstall your Tensiometer ?

You will need the following materials:

• a cloth
• water

Here are the steps to follow:

The day before

1. Generously moisten the soil around the tensiometer.

   

   Remove the blue cap located on the stem of the sensor and fill the stem with water.

On the big day

1. Repeat the process from the day before. Moisten the soil again, remove the blue cap once more, and refill the stem with water.
2. Lightly dig around the tensiometer. Dig a few centimeters to free the probe.                                               

   

   Important: never pull on the electronic casing. If resistance is encountered, moisten the soil again rather than forcing it.

3. Remove the tensiometer by holding it by its metal foot.

   

   Gently pull until the probe is completely removed. Do not shake the tensiometer to avoid damaging the Watermark sensor.

4. Clean your tensiometer.

   

   Rinse it with clean water and then dry it with a clean cloth.

5. Store your tensiometer properly.

   

   Store it horizontally in a dry place.
   Good to know: your sensor consumes 12 times less energy when it is lying down.
