Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The irrigation system consists of underground pipes and retractable sprinklers. When activated, the sprinklers rise from the ground and distribute the water evenly. After watering, they disappear back into the ground, leaving the lawn free to be played on. The system ensures an efficient water supply, especially at high temperatures. Drip pipes are an essential component here, as they enable even and targeted water delivery.
With a little manual skill, you can do it yourself. DVS Beregnung offers pre-assembled Plug&Rain® components that make installation easier. Good planning is important to lay the pipes optimally and position the sprinklers in the right places. It is particularly worthwhile calculating the water requirement precisely for larger areas.
Yes, that's possible without any problems. A combination with above-ground drip irrigation or micro-irrigation for beds and shrubs ensures a comprehensive water supply for your garden. In particular, drip pipes and drip hoses are well suited for supplemental irrigation.
The pipes are laid at a depth of about 20-30 cm. This protects them from frost and damage, but they are still easily accessible should adjustments or repairs be necessary.
It is almost invisible, reduces water evaporation, ensures even irrigation and does not require any visible hoses or sprinklers that could disturb the appearance of the garden. In addition, trees and shrubs can be watered specifically in the root area.
With a watering computer, you can program the watering times and even control them via an app. Additional sensors help to optimize water consumption. There are different product options for irrigation computers that offer different functions and price ranges.
The required number of components depends on the area and water requirements. The DVS irrigation planner can be used to calculate your system precisely.
Why underground irrigation is the best choice: advantages
Underground irrigation offers an unobtrusive and effective way to optimally water your garden or lawn. The pipe system is laid underground and delivers the water directly to the roots of the plants. This saves you water, avoids evaporation and ensures even lawn watering. These systems help to optimally regulate the lawn's water needs by adapting the irrigation to the weather conditions.
With an automatic control system, you can precisely adjust the watering times and optimize water consumption. Thanks to modern technology such as soil moisture sensors, only the amount of water that is actually needed is dispensed. Installation is possible in both new gardens and existing lawns. DVS Beregnung offers you all the necessary products as well as pre-assembled elements for easy installation.
Planning and product selection for your underground irrigation in the garden
Good planning is the basis for a functioning underground irrigation system. First, you should determine the areas to be irrigated and calculate how many sprinklers you will need. Take into account the range and spray angle of the sprinklers to ensure even water distribution. There is a wide range of products suitable for different irrigation needs. With the free DVS irrigation planner, you can calculate your system exactly and put together all the necessary products.
Easy installation and sustainable operation of your underground irrigation
Installation begins with digging trenches for the pipes. These should run evenly to maintain optimal water pressure. The sprinklers are placed in the designated locations and connected to the pipe system. To ensure a long service life, it is important to integrate a filter that removes impurities from the water. A drip tube is particularly important for efficient water distribution, as it allows for drop-by-drop irrigation directly at the roots.
After installation, a first test run is carried out to check the settings and make any necessary adjustments. With an automatic control system, irrigation can be perfectly tailored to the needs of your plants. Modern systems even make it possible to take weather data into account and adjust irrigation accordingly.
Automation and control
Automation and control of underground irrigation systems offers you the opportunity to water your garden precisely and efficiently. With modern irrigation computers, you can program the watering times precisely and adapt them to the needs of your plants. Sensors, such as soil moisture sensors, measure the moisture in the soil and ensure that only as much water is supplied as is actually needed. This not only saves water, but also ensures that your plants receive the optimal care. Some systems even allow the integration of weather data, so that watering is automatically adjusted according to current weather conditions. This way, your garden will always be perfectly watered without you having to constantly keep an eye on the tap.
