Water and Time-Saving Drip Irrigation

The included tap timer allows you to build a fully automated irrigation system minimising water wastage whilst using up to 50% less water and is 90% more efficient than using a spray gun or a sprinkler.

modularindesign

Modular in Design

Expand your irrigation system to water more plants/pots using additional Drippers and Pipe or add another irrigation system using a Two Way Water Distributor enabling two separate watering zones.


Components included:


1 x HydroSure Tap Timer

A simple-to-use tap timer easily programmed to water from 1 minute to 120 minutes, with frequency ranging from 1 Hour up to 1 week, by simply adjusting the dials.


25m x 4mm Black Micro Irrigation Supply Tubing

Use this flexible pipe to supply water from the tap to the micro-drippers.


1 x HydroSure Pressure Reducer – 1 Bar

Install directly to the tap at the start of the system to regulate water pressure to the required level for drippers to function optimally.


20 x Adjustable End of Line Drippers on Spike – 0-6 LPH

Releases water droplets slowly and with pinpoint accuracy directly to the plant’s roots reducing weed growth and maintaining healthy plants. Custom place drippers and adjust water flow between 0-6 LPH for ultimate flexibility when building a drip irrigation system tailored to your garden layout.


10 x HydroSure Wall Clip and Nail – 4mm

Secure micro-irrigation supply tubing to a wall or fence to keep pipe tucked neatly out of the way or direct pipe up to a hanging basket.


1 X HydroSure Barbed Tap Connector – 4mm x ¾”

Attach to the thread of the pressure reducer and install the 4mm micro-pipe to the 4mm barbed outlet. Provides a simple yet watertight connection to the water source.


20 x HydroSure Barbed Tee Connectors – 4mm

Divert micro pipe in different directions with minimal water flow disruption – Ideal for branching off drippers to pots.


Micro Drippers Frequently Asked Questions

  • Some of my Micro Drippers are not working!

    Common Problems

    • Drippers not emitting: Check the flow rate from the tap using our Water Pressure and Flow Rate Guide. A flow rate of 540 LPH and a Dripper output of 8 LPH means up to 67 emitters can be run in a single zone. (Flow Rate Divided by Emitter Output).
    • Dry spots: Emitters can become clogged with insects or dirt. Regularly flushing the pipe network, dismantling the drippers and cleaning them under running water prevents blockages.
    • Structural Damage: Digging in the garden can puncture the supply pipe affecting emitter performance. Locate leaks or water pooling and fix the pipe by cutting out the damaged section using Pipe Cutters and re-connect using a Joiner.
    • Pressure Loss: Make sure any open end of the pipe is plugged using an End Cap. This maintains water pressure at the correct level for emitters to function.
  • My Micro Drippers keep clogging and blocking!

    Use an Irrigation filter at the start of your system to prevent naturally occurring sediment from clogging dripper outlets.

    Drippers that Prevent Blockages

    Drippers with a Check Valve prevent calcification of the internal pipe by keeping water in the system after it is switched off.

    Self-Flushing Drippers have a turbulent flow patterned labyrinth preventing sediment from settling and flushing out unwanted debris.

  • How much does Micro Drip irrigation cost?

    Components used to build a Micro Drip system are often inexpensive with a small system starting from around £24.

    HydroSure Drippers, Pipe and Connectors are a built-to-last and cost-effective solution manufactured from durable UV-stabilised plastic offering resistance to deterioration from direct sunlight and harsh weather conditions.

  • Can I buy more Micro Drippers to extend my current system?

    Yes, simply connect the additional pipe using a Barbed or Nut Lock Joiner. Alternatively, 4mm Joiners and Micro Pipe  can be used to tap into the wall of the LDPE Pipeto take drippers up to 10 metres away from the main supply.

  • How do I hold Irrigation Pipe and Drippers in position?

    Properly uncoiling the irrigation pipe helps with installation. Make pipe easier to work with by weighing it down on either end with a brick and allow any bends to settle. The pipe can then be secured into place every metre and at either side of where a dripper is positioned using Pipe Stakes.

  • Can a Dripper be inserted into garden hose pipe?

    No, hose pipe is manufactured from flexible PVC that when punctured to insert a Micro Dripper frays the surface and does not create a watertight seal.

    Instead, insert Micro Drippers into the wall of Irrigation Pipe. LDPE Pipe has a rigid wall that a Micro Dripper can lock into. Alternatively, use alongside Micro Pipefor installations up to 10 metres away from the main supply.

  • Will a Micro Drip System over winter or does it need to be removed?

    HydroSure Micro Drippers  are manufactured from high-quality polypropylene and silicone to ensure longer-lasting durability. For this reason, Drippers can remain in position over the winter months.

    Top Tip: Avoid the impact of thawing and freezing by removing the End Caps  or using a Valve  in place of an end piece. Run water through the system for around 2 minutes to flush out any debris.

  • Micro Irrigation Drippers vs Drip Line

    Both Drippers and Drip Line regulate water flow based on the plant’s water consumption requirements. Whilst Drip Line is easier to set up, Micro Drippers enable flexible placement flower beds, planters, hanging baskets and pots rather than being confined to the pre-set spacings of Drip Line.

  • Drip Irrigation vs Micro Sprinklers and Spray

    Sprinklers and sprays irrigate multiple plants from a single emitter whilst Micro Drippers use up to 80% less water and deliver it directly to the plant's roots where it is needed most.
