1) How much water will I save?
Savings upwards of 75%
2) Can sub surface irrigation be installed under an existing lawn?
Yes. A narrow trenching machine or a vibrating plough can be used to install the subsurface irrigation system. These machines minimise the disruption to your existing lawn.
3) How is sub surface applied to a new lawn?
Sub surface irrigation can be installed under the ground before your new lawn is laid on top. Successful establishment of new lawn requires overhead irrigation for the first 10 to 15 days. This can be achieved by hand watering with a hose.
4) How does sub surface irrigation water the lawn?
Sub surface drip tube incorporates small water emitters, which are evenly spaced along the length of the pipe. Water passes through the pipe and is released via the emitter , delivering water directly and evenly to the root zone right across your lawn. The type of soil will determine the depth at which the pipe is laid. The system can be set on a timer to deliver the required amount of water at prescribed intervals.
5) If the pipe is laid under the ground, what stops the drippers from clogging up with dirt?
Drip tubes designed to be installed underground contain emitters which have the ability to self flush, continuing to clean themselves while in operation, thus stopping the emitters from clogging.
6) What configuration is the drip tube laid down in?
The drip tube is installed in long, parallel lines, which are evenly spaced. The dimensions of the spacings can vary, depending on the soil type and size of the area.
7) How far apart are the drippers located along the pipe?
Drip tube is available with various emitter spacings, ranging from 12"-16". The type of soil will determine which dripper spacings are required.
8) What do I need to do to maintain a sub surface irrigation system?
All filters should be cleaned and the drip pipes flushed on a regular basis (approximately every 3-6 months, depending on soil type and quality of water).
9) Can the tube be repaired if I damage it with my shovel?
Yes. The damaged pipe can be replaced using a simple joiner. Joiners are available.
