Our products include Drip irrigation, driplines, drippers, sprinklers, microsprinklers, pop up sprinklers, mini sprinklers, Tap timers, irrigation controllers, solenoid valves, solenoid valve manifolds, skid sprinklers, hose, hose fittings, tap fittings, hose reels, hose trolleys, pumps, tanks, and most irrigation related equipment. TOP TIP: If you have difficulty inserting the fittings into the main supply pipe, dip the end of the supply pipe into hot (not boiling) water. The experienced staff members suggest carrying a thermos of hot water to warm the tube in.

Elbow, tee connectors, stop ends, etc. - Based on the plan's requirements, choose 13mm connectors to guide the pipe around the nursery and terminate runs. Lay the main supply pipe around the area to be watered. The tube will be more manageable if warmed in the sunshine before use. Initially, position it with weights until it relaxes. selling composts and fertilizers, Horticultural sundries and tools.Keen gardeners are also welcome. If you are using micro sprays on stakes, attach the micro-spray to the stake first, then position the stake in the ground as per your plan. Next, cut a length of micro pipe to reach from the main supply pipe to the inlet of the stake. We should aim to have a maximum of 30 cm of the micro tube to run from the main supply pipe to the micro spray.

For edges of paths or placement along a wall or fence, use a 180° (half-circle) Microjet Spray. 180° microjets are the most common spray pattern used for planted areas less than 3 metres wide. We recommend an overlap of between 25%-50% to avoid dry patches. Cut the main supply pipe using your cutting tool of choice and create the network using the required fittings (elbows, tee pieces, stop ends etc.) as per your plan. Ensure your cuts are clean and perpendicular to the pipe to ensure the best connection to your fittings. Pipe Stakes and Wall Clips - Available for 19mm, 13mm and 4mm pipes, this secures the pipe in place. Use the stakes to secure the pipe to soil or wall clips to secure the pipe to walls, fences and posts. Main Supply Pipes – A frequently asked question is, “Do I need to take the system in for the winter?”. The simple answer is no. You should, however, do your best to drain the system of excess water to prevent damage from freezing water. Remove all the stop ends in your system and any other connectors at low points that can help drain the excess water system.

Connect the micro supply pipe to the main supply pipe by punching a hole in the main line with an irrigation hole punch and then inserting a tube adaptor into that hole. The tube adaptor creates an outlet for the micro supply pipe to connect to. Connect the other end of the micro supply pipe to the inlet of the micro spray stake. Downspray Wire Stake with Shut-Off - These are pre-assembled to save installation time, with an extended length of micro pipe already fitted, a tube adaptor, and a shut-off clip to stop flow when a tree is removed. TOP TIP: If you pierce a hole in the wrong place, use a micro blanking plug (aka Goof Plug) to close and seal the hole. Irrigation Hole Punch - Used to pierce holes in the main supply pipe to connect the microtube of the micro sprays to the 13mm irrigation supply pipe. Pipe Stakes and Wall Clips - Available for 19mm, 13mm and 4mm pipe, stakes and wall clips are used to secure the tube in place. Use the stakes to secure the pipe to soil or wall clips to secure the pipe to walls and fences.

Sprayers

Nut and Tail Tap Adaptor - Connect each of the water timer's outlets to the main supply pipe used in our system. One for each outlet. If using pre-assembled micro sprays on stakes, the effort in the previous step has already been made for you. Use the hole punch to pierce the main supply pipe, insert the tube adaptor already connected to the micro pipe into that hole, and then position the stake to suit your requirements. The path we have drawn represents the main supply route. The pipe used for this is either a 13mm or 19mm Irrigation Supply Pipe, an LDPE pipe that is UV and weather protected, easy to cut to length and works in conjunction with 13mm or 19mm irrigation fittings, respectively. We can connect our micro sprays to this main supply pipe. All the components are available to buy separately, so you can easily customise your system's configuration. Later in the guide, we will discuss different configurations for different scenarios. for connection to the supply pipe, the base and 200mm dia. 650mm long PVC guard tube and an optional cast iron frame and cover. elbows, tee connectors, stop ends, etc. - Based on the plan's requirements, choose 13mm connectors to guide the pipe around the garden and terminate pipe runs.

Dosatron are probably the UK's best selling water powered injectors. These injector are used in Horticulture and other industries. The recently release Dosatron D3GL Greenline Fertiliser is currently on special introductory offer. Tricoflex hose has been used extensively in Horticulture, Sports and Amenity industries for many years. A micro spray irrigation system consists of a simple network of pipes with low-volume micro-sprays attached. These micro-sprays have been designed to irrigate or water small to medium size planting areas. The low-volume sprays installed for landscape and horticultural applications deliver a fine water spray covering one to three metres. Sprays used for agricultural applications, such as watering under vines and orchards, have a larger spray radius. A micro-spray irrigation system can provide efficient and precise water delivery to targeted areas in your landscape, nursery or orchard. The main supply pipe should ideally be laid within 20cm of the location of micro sprays if you have opted for the preassembled sprays on a stake with a short length of micro pipe. The longest length of micro supply pipe we want to use is 30cm. TOP TIP: Position sprays placed along edges or in corners 2-5 cm from the edge to prevent overspray onto paths, fences and walls.

We sell Plasson water meters from ARAD. We have meters for drinking water with WRAS approval, and also for industrial and Agricultural use With a scale map of your garden, draw a path from your water source past all the micro sprays you have planned. This path can branch off in different directions (using tee connectors) and do 90° turns around obstacles (using elbows). The idea of a watering system is to be hidden, so consider the best route for the pipework to follow to ensure it is out of sight. This could be underground (up to 5cm), under mulch, hidden behind bushes, or neatly pinned to a wall or fence. The first thing to do is set the compass to the scale of 3 metres for your drawing. This represents the spray radius of the micro sprays (for 1:100 scale, this would be 2cm). Then proceed to draw either quarter-circles (90° microjets), semi-circles (180° microjets) or full-circles (360° microjets) to best cover your planted areas. You can reduce the radius if required, but remember that you will need to choose vari-flow microjets to reduce the spray radius when you come to install them. Overlap the spray patterns to avoid dry patches. Vari-Flow Spike Jets - These are pre-assembled to save on installation time. They feature a microjet spray head on top of a stake, a flow control valve to control spray radius, a short length of micro pipe already fitted and a tube adaptor. We choose six of the 180° versions and two of the 90° versions for our installation.

Anchor and fix the supply pipe in place using pipe stakes and wall clips. The ideal placement of stakes and wall clips for the main supply pipe is one every 50-150cm. Metres of 13mm Irrigation Supply Pipe - This is the primary carrier of water and runs past all containers we wish to provide water for. To make sure your micro-spray system is performing at its best year after year, we should take some steps before the winter months set in and any freezing conditions. Scenario - We have a tree nursery with 30 trees in containers requiring regular watering. All the containers are grouped close together, and there is a tap close by that we can use for the water source. Based on the flow rate of the water source, we determined that we could only have 20 downsprays running at a time, so we decided to split the irrigation system into two zones. First, we want to run one line of the main supply pipe from the tap past 15 containers and another length of the main supply pipe running from the tap past the remaining 15 containers. We would require 30 metres of the main supply pipe (15 metres for each zone). We also want to shut off flow to individual containers when sold. We also want the watering to be automatic to save on labour.

Metres of 13mm Irrigation Supply Pipe - This is the primary water carrier and will run past all the micro sprays we want to use in our irrigation system. Water Timers, filters, and pressure reducers are expensive items and are sensitive to freezing conditions, so take care of them. Remove them from the system and empty them of any water. The best way to empty these items is to hold them upside down and give them a good shake—store them in a dry place, preferably indoors (not in a shed). To accurately determine how much supply pipe we need for our irrigation system, we can draw a route the pipe will take from the water source to your irrigation system's endpoint(s) on the map we previously created. Water Timer - The ideal timer for this project would be the Claber Dual Select, as it allows the irrigation system to be split into two zones with just one computer to control both lines.
