Choosing sprinklers for watering the garden

Any dacha plot where fruits, vegetables and other plants grow needs irrigation.

In our article we will tell how to choose sprinklers for watering in the garden, we will describe the main types of these devices.

General description and purpose of devices

Depending on the irrigation of which site and plants you need to perform, it is important to choose the right sprinkler. Their main purpose is to ensure proper watering, to moisten the soil in such a way as to achieve the maximum result of growing plants. As a rule, the design of sprinklers includes a hose and the nozzle itself, through which the site is irrigated.

Today there are many types of these structures, in our article we describe the most basic devices for irrigation.

Main types

Before you go shopping for a sprinkler, you need to know what kind of unit you need. To do this, we give a brief description of each species.

Static

In appearance, models of this type may differ, but they are united by one main feature - the design does not contain rotating parts, provides irrigation around itself. Such polivalki can either dig into the ground, or be portable. Those that can be deepened into the soil, in appearance resemble a cylinder, from which its inner part extends. One mechanism can cover a fairly small area - up to 10 square meters. m. Often they are used to irrigate a large area, installing several sprinklers at once.

The most common designs of manufacturers Karcher and Gardena, a good quality products have firms Hunter and Rain Bird.

Rotary

By their construction, models of this type are a bit similar to static ones, but one difference still exists: they have a rotating part.This type of sprinklers is able to cover a plot up to 30 meters.

Some models that are buried in the soil make it possible to customize irrigation by selecting a specific sector on the site. Such a function allows for the effective irrigation of areas with a complex geometric shape. Sprinklers are able to save water, thereby reducing irrigation costs.

Circular

Circular polivalka for the garden is most often used if necessary to perform irrigation of the lawn.

Water is sprayed due to the design of the rotational movements. The radius of the model may vary, but some designs can provide watering within 10 meters.

Also, more expensive models allow you to set the desired radius, which makes it possible to use the mechanism in areas of different sizes. Installation of sprinkler is made directly to the ground.

Retractable

Sliding sprinklers are directly involved in automatic irrigation. Their installation is made in the soil, they are slightly embedded in it.When water is turned on, the tip comes out and moisture is evenly sprayed on the area.

When the system turns off, the tip goes underground again. This type of sprinkler is good for watering areas with a small area. With their help, it is convenient to water lawns, flower beds and small lawns.

Sprayers

A water sprayer under pressure is very similar to a rotary device, but its main difference is that spraying is carried out at certain intervals, but not constantly. Watering is carried out according to this principle: first distant areas are watered, and then close ones.

You can set the watering according to the specified sectors. For a short time, the irrigation system closes the water supply valve to the nozzles, and at this moment the jet reaches a length of about 20 meters. In some models it is possible to independently set the angle of rotation and tilt.

Oscillating

This dozhdevatel is intended for watering of the rectangular areas which length makes up to 30 meters, and width - at most 17 meters.They are a movable tube with several holes that are necessary for irrigation. The water bottle is mounted on a standard stand.

Usually for the manufacture of the body using metal or plastic. Rotation of the tube is carried out not along a circle, but at a given angle. Water inflow occurs constantly, and the irrigation distance changes.

You can independently adjust the swing angle and set values ​​from 0 to 180 °. The option to set the width of watering is not available in all models. Installation of such sprinklers is carried out either on the ground or on a special stand.

How to choose a sprinkler?

Today, the market offers a huge selection of different models and types of water bottles, which are designed for different areas and zones. When choosing a device, you should be guided by the following irrigation system parameters:

• Decide what pressure head you need. There are models in which it can be adjusted, and there are designs with only one type of jet.
• Plot what form you need to water.Depending on the shape of the plot (round, rectangular, square), it is necessary to choose the type of sprinkler.
• It is important to decide whether you need the ability to adjust the tips to change the angle of irrigation.
• Is it possible autonomous watering.
• The system pressure is checked to ensure high-quality irrigation.

If you yourself can not decide which mechanism fits better, consult with the employees of specialized stores - they will tell you which device to purchase for your site.

Popular models

The most popular and sought after sprinklers of companies such as Gardena, Karcher, Rain Bird and Hunter. They are distinguished by reliability, ease of operation, and are also famous for their great capabilities. The functions of mechanisms allow you to choose the type of jet, its direction.

Among rotary and fan units, preference is better given to producers such as Hunter and Rain Bird, which produce a large range of irrigation products.
