Why WaterUps?
Grow More, Worry Less!

WaterUps was founded by Ian Collins and Vince Hunt in 2015. Our focus was to build a company that refined sustainable gardening and efficient water usage.

By modernising the age-old sub-irrigation technique of wicking, we've transformed wicking bed technology into a versatile solution, adaptable across commercial, civil, horticultural, and residential settings.

Our innovation not only enhances food security and urban greening initiatives but also sets standard in water conservation practices.
