FAQ
Have questions about upterra?
What is UpTerra® Water, and how is it different from regular irrigation water?
UpTerra Water is organized and enhanced with patent-pending technology to improve hydration characteristics compared to normal irrigation water. Water optimized with UpTerra has a lower surface tension, enabling better movement across and into the root zone. More efficient water movement improves plant absorption, increases nutrient uptake, promotes microbial activity and reduces plant stress, allowing you to use less water while increasing farm productivity.
What water sources are compatible with UpTerra®?
UpTerra is compatible with most irrigation systems (drip, lateral, pivot, flood, etc.), water sources and pipe sizes.
What results can I expect after installing UpTerra®?
While results will vary depending on your farm, crop, and production practices, our customers have reported higher yields, improved crop quality, increased nutrient uptake and better soil moisture distribution. While tangible results can be achieved in the first growing season with UpTerra, sustained use provides cumulative soil health benefits that improve yield stability and protect long-term productivity.
What is required for UpTerra® installation and maintenance?
UpTerra installation is a simple process, similar to that of an inline check valve. Once installed, UpTerra has virtually no maintenance other than ensuring the electrical connection is functioning. We recommend blowing or draining your UpTerra system before the first frost for colder climates with winter freeze.
What are the benefits of my UpTerra® subscription?
Your UpTerra subscription provides you access to the latest technology updates from UpTerra, a lower cost of acquisition and a worry-free full warranty and support for your leased equipment.
Does UpTerra® purify or filter water?
UpTerra is not a filter, but it can help enhance water’s structure and reduce the impact of salinity on crops. UpTerra can also help descale the irrigation system, reducing maintenance requirements.
Does UpTerra® require power to work?
UpTerra's vortex generator does not require power, but its Frequency Arrays do require about one (1) watt to operate. For farms without an accessible power source, solar panels are an option.
