Saving in Irrigation with Smart Well Management System: Real Experiences
Technology in agricultural irrigation and well management is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. With the smart well management systems we have developed as esular, our farmers and agricultural enterprises are achieving significant savings in both water and energy costs. In this article, we will share with you the experiences we have gained from real projects.
Why Do We Need a Smart Well Management System?
The biggest problems encountered in traditional well systems:
- Not knowing when the well is operating and how much energy it consumes
- Not being able to notice malfunction situations until being on-site
- Waste of water and energy
- High cabling costs
- The necessity of constantly going to the field for manual control
esular smart well management systems offer solutions to all these problems. Thanks to its wireless structure, installation is easy, and remote access is possible with GSM technology.

Real Benefits Provided by the System
1. Energy Savings
In our projects, an average of 25-35% energy savings is achieved. Especially in E Series packages with energy analyzer and inverter control, this rate can go up to 40%.
Calculation: If there is an annual consumption of 50,000 kWh on a 100-decare land, you save 15,000 kWh with 30% savings. When the unit price is 3 TL, you achieve an annual saving of 45,000 TL.
2. Water Savings
With pressure and flow measurement, you see how much water the pump draws. Unnecessary irrigation is prevented. We see an average of 20-25% water savings in our projects.
3. Malfunction Prevention
Thanks to the sensors in the system, situations such as dry running, overpressure, and motor failure are detected instantly. In this way, major damages are prevented.
Real Event: An olive grove owner in Manisa learned from the system that the pump was running dry when the water level of his well dropped. He stopped the pump remotely and prevented a 15,000 TL motor failure.
4. Time Savings
Being able to control the pump without going to the field. It provides great convenience, especially on large lands or for those with many wells.
E Series and F Series Comparison
| Feature | F Series | E Series |
|---|---|---|
| Communication Distance | 1 km | 5-10 km |
| Number of Pump Controls | 1-2 units | 1-4 units |
| External Valve Support | None | 32-128 units |
| Uninterrupted Operation with Built-in Battery | None | 6-12 hours |
| Internet Connection | GSM | GSM and WiFi |
| Protection Class | IP54 | IP65 |
Result: F Series is sufficient for small businesses and single wells. We recommend the E Series for multiple wells, large areas, or professional use.
Installation Process and Experiences
Step 1: Discovery and Planning
The esular technical team visits your land and examines the existing infrastructure. GSM signal, well locations, and electricity status are evaluated.
Step 2: Installation
- F Series systems: Average 1 day
- E Series single pump: 1-2 days
- Multi-valve systems: 3-5 days
Since it is completely wireless, there is no need to dig trenches or pull cables. This also reduces the installation cost.
Step 3: Training and Commissioning
After the system is installed, training on the mobile application and web interface is given to the user. Usually, a training session lasting 1-2 hours is sufficient.
