Drippers

Garden irrigation drippers are a type of irrigation system that delivers water directly to the roots of plants rather than spraying it over the ground. This method of watering is more efficient and effective than traditional methods, as it minimizes water loss due to evaporation and runoff. Drippers can water various plants, including flowers, vegetables, shrubs, and trees.

The two main types of drippers are in-line and end-line, such as the Claber 91217 and the Claber 91209. Both of these are adjustable from o to 6 litres per hour.

Fixed flow and adjustable flow offer additional flexibility. Fixed flow drippers deliver a constant amount of water per hour, while adjustable flow drippers allow you to control the amount of water delivered. Drippers can also be either pressure-compensating or non-pressure-compensating. Pressure-compensating drippers maintain a constant flow rate even when the water pressure changes, while non-pressure-compensating drippers will deliver more water at higher water pressures.

When choosing drippers for your garden, it is essential to consider the following factors:

• The type of plants you are watering. Different plants have different water needs, so you must choose drippers that deliver the right amount of water for your plants.
• The size of your garden. If you have a large garden, you will need more drippers than a small garden.
• The water pressure in your garden. If you have low water pressure, it is better to use pressure-compensating drippers.

Once you have chosen the right drippers for your garden, you can install them yourself or hire a professional to do it for you. Drippers are a great way to save water and keep your plants healthy.

Here are some of the benefits of using garden irrigation drippers:

• Save water: Drippers deliver water directly to the roots of plants, which minimizes water loss due to evaporation and runoff. This can save you significant water, especially during the hot summer months.
• Improve plant health: Drippers provide plants with a consistent supply of water, which helps them to grow strong and healthy. This is especially important for plants sensitive to water stress, such as fruit trees and vegetables.
• Reduce labour: Drippers make it easy to water your garden, even if you have a large one. You can set up your drip system once and forget about it or program it to water your plants automatically.
• Improve soil quality: Drippers improve soil quality by keeping it moist and aerated. This can reduce the need for fertilizers and pesticides.

If you want to save water, improve plant health, and reduce labour, garden irrigation drippers are a great option.
