You are moving to substrate steering because your current timers cannot react to actual moisture levels in the medium.
You are upgrading to the NFS-3 because you need to visualize dry-back curves on-site without reaching for your phone.
You are adding pump-to-valve mapping because your multi-zone layout requires specific pressure for each run.
What We Found
The 7-inch touch interface is a major upgrade for navigation when you are managing hundreds of devices at once.
We recommend the NFS-3 specifically for steering programs since it triggers feeds based on actual water content.
The Multiple Pump Link logic is finally intuitive enough that you can set up complex feeds without a manual.
What Users Say
Facility managers say they stopped guessing dry-back times once they saw the live moisture curves on the new screen.
Commercial operators report that the 240-device capacity allowed them to consolidate three controllers into this one.
TrolMaster Aqua-X Plus NFS-2 Irrigation Control System
The Aqua-X Plus (NFS-3) is a professional-grade, multi-zone irrigation control system designed to bring high-level automation to serious cultivators. As the upgraded evolution of the
TrolMaster Aqua-X NFS-1 Irrigation Control System and the
TrolMaster Aqua-X NFS-2 Irrigation Control System, the Plus version introduces a vibrant 7-inch LCD touch-screen monitor and a massive expansion in device capacity. It acts as the central brain for your facility, allowing for the connection of up to 240 total devices and 25 individual sensors, ensuring that even the most complex commercial layouts are managed from a single interface.
What sets the NFS-3 apart is its dedicated focus on automated Crop Steering. By integrating WCS-1 or WCS-2 sensors, the system can visualize substrate dry-back times in real-time. You can program the NFS-3 to actively trigger irrigation cycles based on the water content (VWC%) of your medium, allowing for precise control over plant generative and vegetative growth. With the added flexibility of Multiple Pump Link functions, you can map specific pumps to specific valves, providing a level of customization that satisfies the most demanding irrigation strategies.
Compatibility: Fully compatible with the TrolMaster ecosystem, this unit can be used alongside the
TrolMaster Hydro-X HCS-2 Grow Tent Control for a fully integrated facility. Connects via standard CAT5 network cable for stable internet access and remote monitoring via the free TrolMaster app.
Features
🖥️
7" Touch Interface
High-resolution 800x480 touch monitor for easy programming and data visualization.
📈
Crop Steering
Automate irrigation based on grow medium water content (VWC%) for precision steering.
🔌
240 Device Capacity
Greatly expanded capacity to control an array of pumps, solenoids, and stations.
🔗
Pump Link
Advanced logic allows you to link specific pumps with specific valves for complex setups.
The Aqua-X Plus features a 7" touch screen (replacing the LCD/button interface of the
TrolMaster Aqua-X NFS-1) and supports 240 devices, compared to the 30-device limit of the standard model.
How does Crop Steering work with this system?+
By using WCS-1/2 sensors, the NFS-3 monitors grow medium moisture. You can set the system to automatically trigger watering cycles based on substrate dry-down percentages to steer your plants toward generative or vegetative growth.
What can I monitor with the 25 sensor slots?+
You can monitor pH, EC, and temperature of your nutrient solution, as well as the moisture content (WC%), temperature, and EC of your grow medium across multiple zones.
Does the NFS-3 support remote alerts?+
Yes. When connected via CAT5 network cable, the NFS-3 communicates with the free TrolMaster app to send warning messages and push notifications if any environment setpoints are exceeded.
What is the "Multiple Pump Link" feature?+
This allows you to create logical connections between different pumps and valves. You can ensure specific pumps only turn on when certain valves are open, allowing for highly customized irrigation multi-feeds.
