Gardena Sprinkler Overview

The sprinkler is an effective tool designed to ensure that the soil is regularly watered at the correct rate. It helps create the necessary microclimate for plants and does not depend on rain. One of the most popular brands of sprinklers is Gardena, which has established itself in the market as a quality irrigation device. The models of sprinklers from this company are suitable for irrigation in parks, gardens or vegetable gardens, since they can set the required width and length of the irrigation area.

The Gardena sprinkler is used for irrigation of lawns ranging from 90 to 350 m2. Its main feature is that the irrigation zone can be absolutely any shape, and this opens up many opportunities for irrigation. The Gardena Sprinkler does not leave blind spots on the lawn and does not re-flood the same area. This avoids flooding.

When using a sprinkler of the specified brand, it is worth remembering that for maximum coverage of the irrigation area, there must be high pressure in the water supply system.

The assortment of the Gardena producer is quite large, therefore it is able to satisfy any gardener. For example, There is a sprinkler hose for gentle watering of particularly capricious plants. It can be up to 15 meters in length (for spraying on long areas) and includes connectors for extension.

The company also manufactures static (stable) and rotary (rotating) garden sprinklers. They differ in water consumption, spraying range, stem height. Static sprinklers with fan nozzles provide delicate watering of plants in flower gardens or front gardens, but their water consumption is colossal. Rotary sprinklers require less resource.

Also in the assortment of the company there is an impulse sprinkler. This device has a circular irrigation principle, similar to the rotary one, only irrigation is carried out not with the help of a large jet, but with certain impulses. For this, the inner part of the mechanism is equipped with a shock-spraying device. As a rule, impulse sprinklers are installed on a metal peg.

Now let's take a look at several popular models from the company.

Designed for the advanced gardener, this device has fifty points of irrigation trajectory. The model is automatic, can be programmed for two different areas, and comes with two mounting slots, allowing the user to customize the sprinkler to suit their needs. Thus, multi-contour sprinkler Gardena AquaContour automatic Comfort is able to irrigate the area of ​​absolutely any shape, without leaving "blind spots" on it.

Finally, its most important advantages are the automatic change of the irrigation range and the turbo mechanism with protection against pollution. The model is suitable for sector and pivot irrigation, and is powered by solar panels or lithium-ion batteries. The only disadvantage of Gardena AquaContour automatic Comfort is the high price.

This model can only handle small irrigation areas. It is not easy to find in stores, but it has some benefits.Gardena ZoomMaxx irrigates rectangular areas using 16 holes. The sprinkler has a stepless irrigation control, and the range / width can be adjusted over a wide range. The model is perfect for watering plants on a slope, as it has a stable base.

This model is an oscillating sprinkler designed for a really large area. The durability of all Gardena Polo Classic elements guarantees 10 years of trouble-free service. Thanks to its design, this model can irrigate square or rectangular areas evenly without creating flooded areas. The low-maintenance, fine-mesh stainless steel filter, plus an innovative nozzle tip cleaning mechanism, make using the sprinklers simple and straightforward.

A the Polo Classic Canadian model is made of quality durable materials and has an even better design, in which even a small head does not interfere with effective spraying. Here you can also adjust the area, range, width of irrigation. The sprinkler has a filter, it has a wide grip, low weight, and works completely silent. However, the Polo Classic Canadian has two significant drawbacks: instability and modest irrigation area.

This model has an affordable price and excellent performance. This six-position circular sprinkler is suitable for both small and large-scale areas where irrigation is required along different paths (ellipse, circle, semicircle, rectangle, square).

Introduced in 2016, this pivot sprinkler has a modest performance and is designed to serve small lawns no larger than 50 square meters. m.

Before buying a sprinkler, you should decide on the type of device. It can be a retractable or non-retractable sprinkler. The first type of sprinkler hides in the lawn, and when connected, it extends above the surface and watering. The fixed fill is always stable.

It is necessary to pay attention to the design features of the sprinkler. For example, Impulse sprinklers supply water in portions, and the jet range is constantly changing, carrying out uniform irrigation. The only negative is circular irrigation of the lawn. For square and rectangular areas, oscillating sprinklers are more suitable. They have a significant advantage in terms of range.

The method of installing sprinklers plays an important role. A garden bed and a lawn are two completely different irrigation sites, and the installation for the first and second types is different. Stable platforms are used for convenient and fast irrigation. If there is too little space on the site, then in this case, you should purchase pointed legs or tripods. The best option is the wheels on the sprinkler, which will help you easily move it along the irrigation zone.

Gardena brand sprinklers are distinguished by their ease of use and clear adjustment mechanisms. Working with them does not require any preliminary preparation. The instructions for use are as follows:

1. connect the hose with the required connector;
2. put the sprinkler on the grass (if it is mobile);
3. turn it on;
4. if necessary, you can also adjust the slope of the nozzles or the angle of irrigation, thus simulating the irrigation area.

Sometimes there are some problems when using sprinklers. For example, the sprinkler does not rotate. Although Gardena sprinkler actuators are sealed to keep out contamination, poor water quality or excessive pressure in the hose can cause clogging.The first thing to do in this case is to clean the filter (by removing it with long nose pliers, for example).
