Heron Electric irrigation products for nurseries and greenhouses
Heron Electric build controllers for protected cropping specifically, rather than adapting a landscape controller to the job. Irrigation control and dosing systems designed around how a nursery actually waters — multiple valves, repeated short cycles, and fertiliser going through the same lines.
2 pump outputs · 4 inputs as standard (start, stop, weather station, flow meter) · up to 4 valves in parallel on one output
Sizes
Expandable by plug-in card to 96 valves with one expansion, 144 with two
Best for
Plug-in cards let you buy the valve count you need now and add more later rather than replacing the controller. Large graphical display with menu-driven operation. Integrates with Heron sensors or a full weather station, so irrigation can run off light, temperature, rainfall, soil moisture, wind direction or a calculated ET value — and moisture sensors can sit out in the crop. Dosing systems tie in directly. A hybrid version runs on mains or battery
1, 2 and 4 output decoders · 2 pump outputs with extremely high surge protection · 4 inputs (start, stop, weather station, flow meter)
Sizes
Up to 5 two-wire paths, each supporting 5 km of cable; additional cable drivers at 240 valves each
Best for
Two-wire means you run one cable and drop a decoder wherever a valve is needed, instead of pulling a wire back to the controller for every station. No special cable and no topology limits — branch it however the site demands. Same sensor, weather-station and ET integration as the HM-Pro
All outputs 24 V AC for driving relays; sensors connect via Heron digital link; digital input for the Heron weather station
Best for
Runs the glasshouse rather than just the irrigation — vents, heating and screens. Drives a hot-water motorised valve and a local circulating pump. Every output is general purpose, protected by an electronic overload cut-out, and surge-protected beyond ANSI C62
Basic, Wind, Environmental and Full weather station
Best for
Feeds the controller a calculated ET value so watering tracks actual demand instead of a fixed clock. Programs can be selectively included or excluded from ET control, so a propagation bench on a fixed schedule is not overridden by the weather
Light (visible spectrum), air and pipe temperature, soil moisture (cage design), wind measured in 8 sectors
Best for
The inputs the HM-Pro and HT-Pro use to water on conditions rather than a timer. Moisture sensors go out in the crop; the cage design keeps root contact consistent
Operate and monitor the controller from a PC, tablet or phone — start programs, valves or pumps, adjust water budget, assign dosing recipes and flow meters. Alarms arrive by text or email to up to four numbers, and you can pull daily, weekly or monthly reports per valve and flow meter
Internal 1 Ah lead-acid battery with charging, 50 mA solar panel input or external 12 V; compatible with any 24 V AC solenoid valve
Sizes
4, 8 or 16 valve outputs
Best for
For blocks with no mains power. Output voltage is boosted so cable runs can be longer than a battery controller normally allows, and it will charge from a solar panel. Multiple master valve and pump start outputs. Works with the Heron light, temperature, rain and humidity sensors
We sell Heron Electric equipment wholesale to production nurseries, greenhouse operations and horticulture education programs, from our warehouse in Fountain Inn, South Carolina, and ship to growers in all 50 states. Will-call pickup is available during business hours.
The Heron Electric range published by the manufacturer is larger than what any distributor lists online. If the model, size or spacing you need is not on this page, send the part number or describe the job and we'll quote it. For a full system we would rather see your water source, pressure and crop first: tell us those and we'll help you spec it from the pump to the plant.
