Turbine sprinkler with rotary nozzle, fixed nozzle, or jet. On this page, you will find a wide choice of elevation height or spray arc. Before purchasing an automatic irrigation system, make sure to check the size of the fittings corresponding to your installation (1/2'', 3/4'', 1''). At the bottom of this page, find all our tips for underground irrigation!
Underground irrigation systems are by far the most popular! Automatic irrigation will reduce your water expenditure for watering by 30 to 50%.
Underground irrigation consists of a network of underground pipes that will supply water to turbines. These should not be placed randomly! It is essential to conduct a technical study before starting your work to avoid overconsumption of water and to ensure the quality of irrigation. The expertise of a specialist can be useful for making your plans. Next, you will need to dig trenches to install the pipes and connect the turbines. Another advantage of turbine irrigation is its discretion. Once the irrigation is done, the nozzles can retract into the body of the sprinkler. Out of sight! Since turbines are intended to stay in place for a long time, do not skimp on quality!
The elevation height is a key factor in the choice of turbines. It refers to the height from which the nozzle will emerge from the ground. Gardening specialists at ManoMano advise you to choose a height of no more than 15 cm to avoid losing a single drop of water. Another feature to consider when choosing a turbine is the spray arc. This refers to the width of the jet that will come out of the nozzle and ranges from 25 to 360°. This means that for a turbine with a 180° spray arc, the water will come out from half of the nozzle head, whereas for a 360° turbine, the entire circumference of the nozzle is open.
If you have a large area to irrigate, the gardening teams at ManoMano highly recommend installing an underground irrigation system; it's the only way to ensure no area is forgotten, and you will save a lot of time.
To keep your lawn as green as possible, the gardening experts at ManoMano would like to remind you of a few tips. From time to time, don’t hesitate to loosen the soil with a fork. This will help aerate the soil and prevent the roots from being suffocated. There is no need to water too often, two to three times a week is sufficient if your lawn has been planted for a long time. However, if you have just sown the lawn, increase the frequency of watering to promote grass growth. Avoid mowing the lawn too short, especially during the summer; the smaller the roots, the more sensitive the lawn will be to drought. Our gardening specialists advise not to go below 5 cm. Lastly, the golden rule of watering! No matter what plants you are watering, never start irrigation in the full sun!
