Garden Systems Hedge irrigation drip pipe is designed to get over the problem that most gardeners find when wishing to water a long hedge that the drip pipe will not let you water a long distance as the output becomes uneven and then stops altogether.
The Hedge irirgation drip pipe has rubber pressure compensated drippers spaced every 50cm inserted into the wall of the pipe during manufacture. The dripper has opposing holes to let water out and the design of the dripper allows water through the centre of the dripper. Due to the design and manufacture you get a very low pressure loss down the pipe and the drippers can cope as the pressure alters as the distance increase from the water source.
Maximum length 100 metres
Hedge Irrigation Drip Pipe is easy to lay out and is easily connected to the simple barbed fittings that are pushed together. Hose or tube is used to connect all the lines of drip pipe up to form a system. We found that pegging it with the pipe anchors every 1.5m helps with the installation.
Very simple to automate with our wide range of timers and do not have to use a pressure regulator unless you have very high pressure. Fertiliser can easily be introduced to your Drip system with one of our feeders. Please note any fertiliser can be used but make sure it is fully soluble and use a filter.
Although Hedge irrigation drip pipe will tolerate a small level of impurities clean water should be used. If your water could be of an insufficient quality use a filter. For specialist advice call us on 01473 400101.
We have found that over an extended period of years especially in hard water areas a build up of calcium can occur around the outlet this will not normally stop the dripper from working but may slow it down so running the system for longer as the years go past can help. The amount of water applied can be checked with a water meter. If for any reason drippers gets blocked a new dripper one can be inserted by cutting out a section of pipe and inserting a suitable section of drip pipe with the dripper in the correct place.
Hedge Watering Drip Pipe is the same size as a standard hose and fits all 16 barbed fittings. Standard hose and tube is used to connect the runs of drip pipe.
Do not use cheap hose as it will not last.
