Efficient garden irrigation with 16 mm drip pipe
The 16 mm drip tube is a product specially developed for garden irrigation and can be found in the 16 mm drip tube category at DVS Beregnung. With a diameter of 16 millimeters, it is perfect for above-ground drip irrigation of beds and hedges. But what advantages does the 16 mm drip tube offer and what are the possible applications?
Pressure-sensitive and pressure-compensated design for uniform irrigation
In the 16 mm drip pipe category, customers can choose between pressure-sensitive and pressure-compensated versions of the drip pipe. This ensures uniform irrigation even on slopes and in longer sections. With the pressure-sensitive version, the amount of water is automatically adjusted depending on the pressure, while the pressure-compensated version delivers a constant amount of water regardless of the pressure. This means that the 16 mm drip pipe can also be used efficiently on uneven terrain or with fluctuating water pressure.
Reduced evaporation by covering with bark mulch
Another advantage of the 16 mm drip tube is that it can be covered with bark mulch. This reduces the evaporation rate and the water reaches the roots of the plants directly. This is particularly advantageous in hot temperatures or in dry regions to ensure efficient irrigation. The bark mulch also protects the soil from drying out and weed growth.
