Questions
- How It Works
- Maintenance
No, you get to keep your existing infrastructure including pipe, wheels, and sprinklers from your old system. Our system replaces your mover and compliments your existing system.
Soon! HydroSide is in development for a fully autonomous wheel line mover set that will fully automate your wheel line. Stay tuned for this product to be released later in 2021.
No, because the wheel line pipe serves as an axle with fixed wheels. We can’t turn the wheel line without breaking the existing system. It would be like trying to turn a truck in 4 wheel drive on dry pavement...if you’ve ever done that you know it doesn’t do so well...plus this would be with a hollow aluminum axle held together by turnbuckles - the results would not be good!
The Hydroside system was designed for the typical wheel line irrigation psi range which is 45-80 psi. If you’re lower than 45 PSI, you’ll need to call us. If you’re above 45 it’s no problem and it will work.
Water comes into the system and spins a turbine. That turbine then spins an alternator and the energy is stored on the machine via deep cycle batteries. These batteries then power the system. So, whenever water is flowing the unit is charging by harvesting the excess energy in the water.
Best practice is to store the machine inside in the winter. At a minimum you should unbolt the turbine and store it inside in the cold months. We don’t want any water to freeze and expand in the turbine housing to damage any of the components...even though they are ruggedly constructed of steel and aluminium. You should also at a minimum remove the deep cycle batteries so they do not sit all winter in the cold.
Nope. Our units are driven by enclosed electric motors. So they are extremely low maintenance. No more pull-start carburated motors that need constant tinkering to operate.
Yes! We offer a 2 year warranty on the unit. So, unless you take it to the track to race wheel lines or leave water in it and it freezes in the winter...we have you covered.
For most potential mechanical problems...yes! We know there is a big battle in ag around the right to repair. That is why we designed this unit to be easily repaired if there is ever an issue. The batteries can be bought at a local auto center and swapped out. The motors can be easily removed and we can send a new one. The gearboxes can be removed and replaced easily if needed. Most everything except the software can be handled right in the field. The software can be troubleshot or updated remotely since all of our units are cell enabled. Our hope with this unit is that if there is ever a problem then downtime is dramatically reduced and you do not need to wait for a certified repair technician for any little issue.
