- You are adding substrate sensors because manual moisture checks fail to tell you if the root zone is actually saturated
- You are upgrading to real-time data collection because you want to push crop steering but lack the precision to execute
- We tell growers the real value is the ability to see nutrient drift before it locks out root zone uptake
- The on-board LCD screen is a lifesaver for checking specific zones without walking back to the main controller
- Growers who added this to their setup say they stopped guessing dry-back times and saved hours of manual labour
- Users report that the instant app alerts helped them catch irrigation failures before they impacted the entire crop
TrolMaster WCS-2 3-in-1 Substrate Sensor (Water, Temp, EC)
Precision monitoring is the backbone of successful crop steering, and the TrolMaster WCS-2 provides the real-time data needed to optimize irrigation and nutrient delivery. By integrating this sensor with your TrolMaster Aqua-X Pro NFS-2 Irrigation Controller, you can monitor volumetric water content, electrical conductivity, and root zone temperature to maximize plant health and prevent crop loss. This unit is designed for intermediate and professional growers who require immediate feedback on root zone conditions to influence plant development effectively.
What's Included
Features
Real-Time Monitoring
Tracks WC, EC, and temperature constantly to provide a live snapshot of root zone health.

Support & Manuals
FAQs
How do I ensure the sensor remains calibrated?
The WCS-2 is factory calibrated but requires proper placement to maintain accuracy. Ensure the probes are in full contact with the medium and avoid air pockets which can cause false dry readings.
Will I receive notifications if the moisture level drops while I am away?
Yes, the sensor triggers mobile notifications through the Aqua-X system. You will receive an alert on your smartphone if the water content or EC exceeds your defined setpoints.
Can I use this sensor with other control systems?
The WCS-2 is specifically designed for compatibility with the TrolMaster Aqua-X Control System. It utilizes a proprietary connection to communicate data to the master controller.
Does high nutrient strength affect the moisture reading?
The sensor measures EC and water content independently to provide accurate data even in high-salt environments. This allows you to monitor nutrient buildup without skewing your irrigation data.
What is the simplest way to set up the sensor?
Connect the sensor to the Aqua-X controller via the USB port and press the addressing button on the sensor unit. The controller will automatically recognize the device for immediate monitoring.
