Saving Water and Watering Economically

Restrictions on the use of hosepipes in the garden are now commonplace. Although these refer to the use of a hose as such to water gardens and operate sprinklers, they also cover the use of hosepipes to power garden watering systems generally.

This does not mean that you can't employ an AQUAMISER solution to water your garden effectively and economically.

We have always recommended using a water tank or butt to recycle domestic grey water (from bathing or washing up etc) or collected rainwater. If necessary you can top this up from the mains. The supply must be pressurised to operate your AQUAMISER system, so you will need a pump. Machine Mart sells a range of pumps suitable for this purpose. Most pumps incorporate some form of filter. If not, please see Water Filter.

Our drip watering products are ideal for essential, economical watering. We have systems for borders, hanging baskets and planters, greenhouses and vegetable gardens. All of these use drip watering components.

The systems for borders and vegetable gardens use our Drip Watering Tube. This comes in 50m rolls with a drip irrigator every 30cm (12") and is installed as a matrix of rows about 30cm apart with the ends of the rows joined using elbows and T-connectors.

The tube puts the water where it's needed without foliage getting in the way. It can be mulched over with bark chippings or similar to conceal it and avoid evaporation.
