Aqua 500

5-Way Control Box

Manual 5-section control box — section on/off and dose adjustment for field sprayers that want segmented control without the rate-controller price.

💡 Best for: field sprayers, manual operations, budget-conscious farms.

Overview

Aqua 500 is a 5-way sprayer control box (section switch box) for the field sprayer. From the cab the operator opens and closes 5 section valves and the main valve and adjusts the pressure, so no chemical hose enters the cabin. It is the simple, robust way to add electric section control to a mechanical sprayer, and it works with the 20 BAR 5W electro valve kit.

Frequently asked questions

Aqua 500 — Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a control box and a rate controller?

Aqua 500 is manual: the operator switches sections and adjusts pressure with toggle switches. A rate controller such as Nova 100 holds the l/ha rate automatically using sensors. Many farmers start with an Aqua box and move to a Nova computer later; the same valve kit stays on the sprayer.

Can I retrofit Aqua 500 to my existing field sprayer?

Yes. Aqua 500 is designed as a retrofit kit: the computer or box goes in the cab, the 20 BAR 5W electro valve kit is fitted to the sprayer plumbing and the valve cable connects the two. Any brand of field sprayer with a standard valve block can be converted, usually in one working day by your dealer.

Is there a wireless version of Aqua 500?

Yes. Aqua 500 AIR uses the AIR ECU wireless valve interface: the box stays in the cab, the valve harness plugs into the ECU on the sprayer and the two communicate wirelessly, with no valve cable through the cab.

How much does Aqua 500 cost and how do I buy it?

The price depends on the valve kit, cable lengths and options (GNSS antenna, sensors) your machine needs, so we quote per configuration. Use the "Request a quote" button on this page or write to us on WhatsApp; a Tim dealer in your country will reply with a complete kit price and delivery time.

What support and warranty come with Aqua 500?

Every Tim product ships with a 2-year warranty, a printed quick guide and access to the Nova Support wizard in the Field Hub. Installation and operator training are handled by the local dealer; firmware updates are free and loaded via USB.
