However, we also recognize that everyone’s garden is different.  Therefore, our irrigation systems are flexible and fully customisable.  This means that you can  design your own layout of pipework to suit your garden and use the ideal jets to most effectively water your plants.  We do this by supplying you with the exact amount of equipment tailored to your needs.  Installation is then simply a case of connecting up the pipework and inserting the jets. See for yourself how easy it is to install our systems.  The three simple steps below show you how to setup even the largest system.

If you are using mains water, simply attach a tap connector or optional timer directly to a mains tap.  Alternatively, if you are using rainwater from a water butt, utilise the suction hose from the water butt to the inlet of the Watermate pump.

The 13mm hose should be laid out around the garden or greenhouse (using clips if desired) Taking the water into the area to be watered.  With a little imagination it’s easy to make the hose discrete, for example by covering it in forest bark or running it under the eaves of your house.

Because the hose is rigid it is necessary to use elbows on tight corners or tees to water in two directions.  Simply cut the main hose and dip in hot water for easy push-fitting.  When you’ve finished your run of hose, just push an end-stop in the end. Tip - you can flush the hose by turning on the tap before fitting the end stop. This will remove any dirt picked up during installation.

We offer various jets for different watering needs.  To insert any jet, first simply use the key/punch included in our kits to punch a hole in the main supply hose

Some jets can be inserted straight into this hole in the supply hose, as shown opposite.  Alternatively, insert a 4mm microbore connector to attach a length of 4mm microbore hose which can then be connected to a hanging basket/pots jet or a higher stake to lift your jets above your plants.

If using 4mm microbore hose simply cut to length and attach to the required stakes and hanging basket/pots jets.  A variety of stakes are available to alter the height from which you water your borders and vegetables.
