The TrolMaster Aqua-X Plus NFS-3 is a professional multi-zone irrigation and fertigation controller designed for commercial cultivation facilities requiring expanded device capacity, sensor monitoring, and automated crop steering. It can control up to 240 pumps and solenoid valves and monitor up to 25 sensors, including pH, EC, water temperature, substrate volumetric water content (VWC), grow-medium temperature, and grow-medium EC. The included AMP-3 Sensor Board provides the interface for pH, EC, and water-temperature probes, while the TM+ Pro app enables remote monitoring, control, historical data access, and alarm notifications.

Key Advantage: The Aqua-X Plus NFS-3 combines 240-device control with monitoring for up to 25 sensors and adds native crop-steering automation. With optional substrate sensors, irrigation can be triggered by real-time VWC and dry-back thresholds rather than relying solely on fixed timers, while the AMP-3 and TM+ Pro app provide centralized nutrient monitoring and remote management.
