The project team has a working demo, not the final product. Their ability to begin production may be affected by product development or financial challenges.

In 2018 we launched our first product on Kickstarter and it was an instant success. Since then we shipped50 AquaShield units worldwide and received a ton of feedback from our backers. Based on these, we improved almost every part of the AquaShield.
AquaShield is a smart home system for your greenhouse or indoor farm:
It tracks all important environmental parameters like PH, EC, temperature, humidity, light intestity, VPD, dew point and much more. With AquaShield, you can automate your hydroponic or aquaponic system: you can control grow lights, pumps, valves or any other active component. The device is capable to connect to the internet, so you can access your AquaShield anytime, anywhere.
Produce high quality crops using automation. AquaShield helps you to save time, reduce cost and work more efficiently. AquaShield can control 8 devices (grow lights, pumps, fans etc.) simultaneously.
AquaShield 2.0 can also host PWM (pulse width modulation) enabled dosing pumps, LED grow lights, servos and much more.
For an easier use, we also developed our own dosing pumps, that can easily control your PH (use PH+ or PH-) or maintain the optimal EC by adding nutrients based on the AquaShield’s EC readings.
The in-house developed software tracks all sensors real-time, stores all data and alerts you if needed.
Monitoring features of the AquaShield Connect: sensors, graphs and calibration
Controlling features of the AquaShield Connect: activate relays and dosing pump setup
Automation with the AquaShield Connect: Time and sensor based workflows and alerting features
AquaShield 2.0 is commercial ready, but we need your help to ramp up production. AquaShield has 9 different PCB boards that only could be manufactured economically if we order in larger quantities. With larger order quantities we can also negotiate better prices for the housing and sensors, so we will have more money to spend on further development of the device and the software.
Please be aware that all shipping costs, VAT and sales taxes will be collected after the campaign is over.
We’re a Budapest, Hungary based company, so we will ship all perks from Hungary. Taxes will vary depending on where we deliver the perks. We have to charge VAT, if your shipping address is in the European Union.
In other cases - for example if you back us from the United States - we won’t charge any taxes, however sales taxes and custom fees may apply, might be levied on your parcel. The charge of the fees depends on the customs office / specific local post office of the destination country.
Below you can see the estimated shipping costs based on our latest data.
We have worked extremely hard to ready this product for Indiegogo and full-scale manufacturing and fulfillment, but here are what we see as the risks and our plan to assess them:
MANUFACTURING: The manufacturer is lined up, and we have quality assurance people on site during production.
FULFILLMENT: Sometimes things get a bit crazy and stuff happens that can't be planned for: a supplier misses a deadline, customs clearance or a shipment gets lost. Those things could cause a delay.
We are using TNT and FedEx to get our products to you. We'll keep open and honest communication with you through our process so you know where your product is and when it's going to get to you. Please feel free to contact us we are here to help!
