Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A drip tube is a special hose with integrated drippers that release water slowly and evenly to the roots of your plants. This method reduces evaporation losses and ensures that the water goes directly to where it is needed. The continuous supply of moisture promotes healthy plant growth and saves water. Drip tubes are available in different roll lengths, with variable water delivery, e.g. 2.3 l/h, and different dripper spacings for optimal supply.
Drip tubes are easy to install and adaptable to different garden layouts. They allow for even water distribution, which is particularly beneficial in beds, hedges and on slopes. You also save water because watering is targeted and surface evaporation is minimized. This leads to healthier plants and can reduce the need for maintenance. Thanks to their robust construction, high-quality drip pipes last a long time even in demanding environments.
When choosing the appropriate drip tube, you should consider your plants' water needs, soil conditions and installation method. There are drip tubes with different dripper spacings, flow rates and wall thicknesses. For plants with high water needs, models with shorter distances between drippers are suitable. Drip hoses with an external diameter of 16 mm are particularly suitable for large-scale applications in gardens, greenhouses and agriculture.

What are drip pipes and how do they work?
Drip pipes are special pipes designed for the efficient irrigation of plants and trees. They are made of flexible material that allows water to be delivered directly to the plants' roots. These pipes are fitted with integrated drippers, which are spaced at regular intervals and release water in small, controlled amounts. This process, known as drip irrigation, ensures that the water is distributed slowly and evenly, minimizing evaporation losses and providing the plants with optimal care. Drip irrigation pipes are ideal for watering flowerbeds, hedges and other plantings because they allow for precise and water-efficient irrigation.
Advantages and uses of drip irrigation pipes
Drip irrigation pipes offer numerous advantages over conventional irrigation methods. One of the biggest advantages is the significant water savings, since the water reaches the plants' roots directly and none of it evaporates or seeps into the ground. This leads to a more efficient use of water resources and promotes healthy plant growth. Drip irrigation tubing is also highly flexible and can be used in a variety of applications, such as agriculture, horticulture and landscaping. It is ideal for watering flowerbeds, hedges, slopes and other plantings, as it ensures even water distribution.
Planning and installing drip irrigation tubing
Designing and installing drip irrigation pipes requires some thought to ensure efficient irrigation. First, the distance between the drippers and the length of the drip pipe should be carefully calculated to ensure that all plants receive sufficient water. Typically, about 10 to 15 connectors and accessories are needed per package to complete the installation. The drip tubing can then be laid either above or below ground, depending on the specific requirements of your garden. Please note that if you lay the tubing underground, an air vent is needed to prevent soil and dirt from being sucked into the system. It is important that the dripline is connected and attached correctly to ensure optimal water distribution. With the right accessories, such as ground stakes and connectors, the dripline system can be installed in a stable and reliable way.
