With the advent of the hot season, the owners of household plots and country houses are faced with the question of how to provide their plants with the correct watering. Long-used watering cans and hoses for manual watering have long been obsolete, and today there are more effective and rational ways. For this, modern tools such as sprinklers are used. And it does not matter, you need to water a large rectangular lawn , a small garden bed or a circular bed - there are sprinkler models used for various purposes.
Sprinkler, as is clear from the name, is used for the sprinkling process - that is, watering from above, along the leaves. This method of irrigation is ideal for garden crops that do not have a powerful root system, but they get the maximum of useful substances with the help of their foliage. Sprinkling is often carried out for cucumbers, zucchini, peppers. It should be remembered that such an "upper watering" can be carried out only when the direct sunlight does not fall on the leaves, otherwise it is fraught with burns.
And now let's figure out how to choose the best model among sprinklers for watering the garden and garden.
Types of sprinklers for irrigation
The main difference between sprinklers is that they are capable of irrigation. So, to irrigate round flower beds you can use both the simplest circular models (in the center of such designs there is a nozzle, which ensures the spraying of water under pressure in a circle), and more advanced ones - for example, impulse ones. The latter use water more economically and are more efficient, and for the rotation of the nozzle the impulse sprinklers use the water pressure to irrigate the garden. This distinguishes them from ordinary static sprinklers, which do not rotate, which makes the radius of their irrigation reach a maximum of 5 m, which is not always convenient.
There are also special sprinklers for irrigation of rectangular areas. They are called oscillating and have a complex design of nozzles, which allows smoothly changing the size of the irrigated area. If desired, with the help of such a device, you can even water a patch of irregular shape - the main thing is to properly set up such a sprinkler.
Sprinkler devices can also be retractable. This is very convenient if you need to water a site located behind tall plants - so a spray of water flows from above, conducting a quality and almost natural watering in a given sector. When buying such a sprinkler for irrigation, pay attention to the length of its retractable piston.
More advanced models are equipped with an integrated mudguard, the advantages of which are obvious - such a sprinkler will not wet you during the installation and adjustment of this device. Other useful features are the possibility of adjusting the direction and range of watering, the built-in mud filter and the presence of notches on the nozzles, which make irrigation as efficient as possible.
The main drawback
The most popular among buyers are sprinklers of such companies as Karcher, Gardena, Hozelock, Claber, Intertool, Metabo, Stanley and others.
Choosing a sprinkler for watering your garden, look not only at the name of the manufacturer, but also on the quality of the product itself. It should be made of durable and reliable material to serve you as long as possible without breakage. Remember that the availability of additional features significantly increases the price.
