Will automatic watering the garden reduce water bills?



The automatic garden watering system is not only a comfortable solution, freeing us of the obligation to irrigate plants. By installing an irrigation system, you can also save a lot

Watering the garden, especially the one with a large area, is a job-and time-consuming occupation. It can also be very tedious, especially when we have to traverse the garden paths with a long hose, taking care not to get entangled in the vegetation and to destroy the plants when dragging on the ground. The solution to these problems is the automatic irrigation system.

Elements included in the irrigation system

It consists mainly of water supply lines and sprinklers that are ascended or mounted on rigid tubes. They are placed in various zones of the garden, so that they effectively irrigate all plants. The irrigation system can also consist of dotting lines - water supply pipes and drip heads, through which water leaks directly under the plants. The automatic irrigation system is also equipped with a special controller (programmer), which allows programming of the irrigation installation's working time.

Savings from the installation of the irrigation system

This solution is not only about comfort and time saving, but above all about saving water and, consequently, money. Thanks to the automatic watering of the garden, the water is delivered to the plants in the right amount (its consumption is reduced by up to 50% compared to traditional watering). The work of the irrigation system can be programmed in such a way that it starts in the evening or early in the morning - this solution ensures rational use of water that does not evaporate as quickly as during the day, but effectively moisturizes the soil. Additional savings will be achieved by the use of humidity and rain sensors - their task is to provide the controller with information about rainfall and the current soil moisture. Thanks to this, the irrigation system will not start without the need when it rains or the soil moisture is high.
