"Mastermind Products realises that everyones garden is unique so we have made it easy for everyone to plan a watering system to suit their own personal situation" explains Chris Phillips Sales Director for Mastermind Products Ltd.

"We wanted to illustrate to gardeners just how easy it is to plan and install a watering system in their garden. With the use of photographs and drawings we have designed and easy to follow Step by Step Watering Planner which they can refer to each time they are planning a new watering system.

The planner is suitable for complete beginners or knowledgeable irrigation installers because it gives a variety of options that may not have been considered in the past", highlights Chris Phillips.

The planner has 5 simple steps and starts with connecting the watering system to the desired water source, 3 individual options are available a mains water tap , a water butt or the Watermate garden pump.

The next step is to calculate the amount of supply hose required to reach around the garden to water the plants, we then help select the most suitable fittings to ensure a discrete finish for the eventual layout.

A crucial stage in the planning is the correct selection of jets with several options available the step by step watering planner takes the guess work away and gives the planner the best chance of choosing the right options to efficiently water their plants.

The watering system is completed by joining the jets to the supply hose this is easily achieved with a key/punch and microbore hose, after some testing the system is set for many years of efficient watering of the plants in anyones garden.

Recommended guidelines for the number of jets that can be operated  in one zone helps with the planning and quickly identifies if a second or multi zone system is required.

"Providing this online watering planner will increase the understanding of garden watering systems and take the concerns from the minds of gardeners who have so far been reluctant to install a watering system" observes Chris Phillips, he continues "remember we still offer a complete planning and back up service and if help is required during the planning we are available on the telephone or by email".
