Extracting the Sensor

  1. Remove the Sensor

    • Use the Installation Rod or Star Adapter to rotate the sensor counterclockwise to loosen it from the soil.
    • If the sensor is rotating but not coming out, apply upward force while rotating with your hands.

  2. Loosen the Soil (if needed)

    • For dry or heavy soil, use a tile spade to carefully dig and loosen the soil around the sensor.

  3. Soften the Soil (if extraction is difficult)

    • Water the soil heavily to make removal easier.
    • To improve water infiltration, drill small holes (1–2 inches) around the sensor and pour water into them.
