Pop-Up Sprinklers
The ultimate in discreet yet attractive garden irrigation, pop-up sprinklers are designed to be buried below ground with the sprinkler head flush with the ground when not in use. Once you turn the system on, the head pops up and sets about irrigating the grass, ground or flower beds around it with a consistent spray of water.
They can be set to operate at certain times of the day – early morning or later afternoons are best for minimising water evaporation caused by the heat of the day. A great advantage is the lower water usage, which helps with sustainable gardening efforts and reduced water bills considerably over using a standard hosepipe or larger irrigation system. Pop-up sprinklers can be directed very precisely and timed to only emit water for specified times for easier monitoring and less waste.
A range of connectors are available to fit onto your pop-up sprinkler system. This allows it to be attached to wider watering systems and to source water directly from a garden tap or hosepipe. Pop-up sprinkler and connector starter kits are available for easy installation and maintenance. Multiple pop-up sprinklers can be installed to ensure full coverage and eliminate dry patches in the soil or grass.
When choosing pop-up sprinklers, it is important that you know the volume of water supplied by your garden tap. It is worth seeking out pop-up Sprinklers that operate with low water pressure, using three to four litres per minute
