Sprinklers
Summer is a harsh time in the garden - the lack of moisture and the dry, hot conditions mean your plants are under stress and their performance is greatly reduced. Just like us, plants can survive without food for some time, but struggle and wither quickly with a lack of water.
Consistent watering will help your plants avoid this unnecessary struggle and using an automatic, convenient and efficient timer system to regulate the flow of water to your sprinkler system is the perfect solution. Technology has influenced the application of irrigation systems and Gardena offers the right timer to suit a variety of applications. From the classic two-hour timer to the modern water computer with a calendar function, there is a model to help efficiently water your garden.The Gardena Water Computer 6 Cycle C1060 is the luxury model with electronic data display and programming tailored to your garden's individual requirements. It can water your garden up to six times a day, allowing for a variable watering time from one hour to nine hours. Your watering days can be freely selected and the water computer can be used to control an automatic water distributor for fully automatic control of up to six watering channels. The comfort model in the range, the Gardena Water Timer T1030 Card Reader, is simply programmed by card, allowing for up to three watering cycles per day and watering times from one minute to three hours. Adding to its simplicity, the operation of this model relies on gravity as opposed to water pressure. The Gardena Soil Moisture Sensor can be connected to any of the timers in the range and with it’s water-saving sensor technology, it only waters according to the degree of moisture in the soil. The moisture sensor is reliable and its operation is based on an electro-thermal measuring principle, allowing it to measure temperature differences in the soil. The required soil moisture level can be set with a control knob. The Gardena range of timers are well engineered and well built, which allows them to withstand the rigours of outdoor life, but the key to these control systems is in the innovation that makes them the perfect fit for every garden. |
