Water Sockets

A water outlet is a fixed connection point that links underground water pipes to a usable tap. It allows you to access water at any time without the need for long hoses across your garden. Many models include quick-connect fittings, enabling you to attach hoses in seconds. This reduces walking distances and saves time while watering. Additionally, a neatly installed water outlet keeps your garden tidy.

There are models with integrated garden hose connectors and those that require a separate plug. The integrated models offer added convenience, while the versions with separate plugs are more budget-friendly. Both options serve their purpose and integrate seamlessly into an existing irrigation system. Connecting them to a constant pressure line is straightforward.

Select a durable material that matches your existing connections. Some models include integrated garden hose connectors, while others require a separate adapter. Consider the appropriate thread size and pressure requirements for your setup. Review the technical specifications to ensure compatibility with your water system. Also, plan how many outlets and pipelines you will need to distribute water efficiently across your garden.

Multiple outlets simplify water access in different areas of your garden. Each outlet provides a dedicated point to connect your hose, eliminating the need to carry heavy hoses over long distances. This ensures efficient watering and helps conserve your energy. Additionally, having multiple outlets allows you to water multiple sections of your garden simultaneously.

Yes, with proper planning, installation is straightforward. Lay the pressure pipe and connect it to the desired outlet model using simple plug or screw connections. Ensure that seals are tight and the necessary tools are available. If you’re unsure, the DVS Irrigation Planner can help you design your system, including where to position and pipe water outlets.

You will need an underground pipe connected to your main water source. Water outlets can be connected to a constant pressure line, providing water whenever the ball valve is opened. Alternatively, you can install the outlet behind a solenoid valve to control it via your irrigation system. Use a T-piece to branch off additional outlets and place the water outlet in an easily accessible location. Check for leaks before filling the trench, and ensure proper frost protection or empty the pipes in autumn to prevent freezing damage during winter. Position water meters (e.g., for Hunter Hydrawise controllers) after the water outlet to exclude manual water usage from the system's readings.

Valve boxes protect valves and connections from dirt and damage, ensuring long-term functionality. These underground enclosures can be easily opened for maintenance and keep the garden’s appearance neat while safeguarding critical components.

Proper installed water outlets require minimal maintenance. Occasionally inspect seals and connections for potential leaks. Before winter, drain or shut off the pipes to prevent freezing. For outdoor outlets, clear debris or leaves periodically to maintain functionality.

Check the connections and seals, tightening them as necessary or replacing worn parts. Dirt or debris in the fittings can often cause leaks and should be carefully removed. If a component is damaged, suitable replacements are available in our shop. Note the specifications of your water outlet before ordering spare parts.

For fully automated irrigation, combine water outlets with valves or irrigation computers. These systems control water flow based on pre-set schedules or soil moisture levels. The Plug&Rain® system is ideal for this, as it integrates valves into underground valve boxes. Add sensors or a control unit for app-based or timer-operated irrigation, saving you time and effort.

Plug&Rain® features pre-assembled components that can be easily connected. This reduces the number of parts required and simplifies installation. With fewer potential errors, your system is ready for use faster. The DVS Irrigation Planner helps you select the modules you need for your garden, ensuring efficient planning and quick installation.

Plug&Rain® is based on pre-assembled components. This saves time and reduces the risk of installation errors. Few individual parts ensure a straightforward installation. The system offers compatible modules for different applications. This allows you to reach your goal faster and benefit from flexible solutions.

With some basic DIY skills and clear instructions, you can install the system yourself. Plan your setup carefully, assembling components like T-pieces, adapters, and pipes beforehand. The DVS Irrigation Planner can assist in selecting compatible parts. Check connections for leaks during installation. If unsure, consult a professional for peace of mind.
