After much feedback from the industry, Zwart Systems embarked on developing the next level of boom controller. PR2 is a cutting-edge controller that has revolutionized the boom industry.

The PR2 can handle up to 8 solenoid valves and 2 feed selection valves. The controller also allows for up to 9 inputs from your environmental control computer to manipulate crops based on VPD from your current platform.

Working with Zwart Systems booms has been a great experience. The control program for operating the boom is very user friendly and versatile. Freeman Herbs has been using Zwart Systems boom irrigation for almost 10 years to irrigate crops and to propagate tens of thousands of seedling and cutting plug trays every year. Because Freeman Herbs grows on a moving bench system, we need a boom program that allows quick easy changes to watering location and frequency to follow the constantly moving crops. Freeman's overall experience running Perfect Rain booms is that they are easy to use and are reliable. If we encounter any problems Zwart Systems and their customer support team are quick to resolve them.
