Frequently Asked Questions
What makes WaterUps products sustainable?
WaterUps products are made from 100% recycled materials, aligning with our commitment to environmental responsibility. Our advanced wicking technology can save up to 80% more water compared to traditional surface watering.

How does the wicking technology work?
Wicking cells draw water upward from the reservoir into the soil profile, delivering deep, even moisture directly to the root zone. This promotes stronger plant growth, better soil structure, and improved water efficiency.

Can WaterUps products be used in any garden type?
Absolutely. WaterUps systems are versatile and suitable for backyards, balconies, community gardens, educational spaces, commercial installations and more.

Are WaterUps products easy to set up and maintain?
Yes. All WaterUps systems are designed for simple assembly with minimal maintenance, allowing you to enjoy healthier plants with less effort.
