Inline Dripper Hose 350m Coil (33cm Dripper Distance)

This drip irrigation can be used for the tunnel, hedging, vegetable and flower beds. For commercial lengths of dripper pipe it is advisable to use a 20mm supply to insure a good supply of water to the drippers. In this case use 20mm fittings (blue inserts) for the supply pipe and 16mm fittings (green inserts) to join it to the dripper lines as in the diagrams below.

• 350m dripper irrigation pipe with 33cm dripper distance. 16mm diameter.
• Maximum length of single run: 60m
• Drippers consist of specialised matrix inserts which are highly resistant to clogging and give a slow and steady water flow: 2L/h
• 15 minutes twice a day is usually enough for most crops.

Advantages of dripline irrigation:

• Improved plant growth, as there is continuous soil moisture which penetrates deep into the root zone.
• Efficient use of water since less is wasted by evaporation and leaching.
• Reduced nutrient loss from over-watering and leaching. Use timer or irrigation controller.
• Weed growth is reduced since you're only watering along the crop rows.
• Foliage remains dry, reducing the risk of disease.
• Can be used with low pressure systems such as a rain water tank/barrel - gravity feed. Use a filter if using rain or well water.
