An automatic irrigation system is a complex piece of technology that requires careful planning and professional installation for smooth operation. Only by observing key steps from design to commissioning can a consistently functioning and efficient garden irrigation system be realized.
Requirements analysis: Basis for correct plant planning
The beginning of every irrigation planning is the analysis of the local conditions and boundary conditions:
- Size and division of the garden areas
- Existing plants and their water requirements
- Location of lawns, beds, trellises, etc.
- Available water connections and pipes
- Possibilities for expansion and supplementation
Based on the needs analysis, the appropriate irrigation concept can be created with the ideal selection and placement of components.
The right concept for optimal area coverage
The following aspects must be considered when developing the concept:
- Selection of the irrigation system (stationary, mobile)
- Decision on sprinkler or drip-based irrigation
- Choice of cables and distribution routing
- Positioning of the nozzles for optimal area coverage
- Integration of control elements
- Consideration of expansion options
A well-thought-out overall concept forms the basis for a tailor-made irrigation system that supplies the areas with water efficiently and as needed.
Professional installation for permanent operation
Installation requires precision and expertise. Key steps include:
- Professional laying of cables in the ground
- Connection of pipes to the water supply in compliance with regulations
- Positioning and aligning the nozzles according to the concept
- Assembly and programming of the control technology
- Pressure testing and leak tests before commissioning
- Trial commissioning and fine-tuning
Only expert installation can prevent malfunctions and operational problems. The system should be thoroughly tested afterward.
Commissioning: Final adjustments for smooth operation
Before final commissioning, final settings and adjustments must be made:
- Recheck all cable connections
- Setting the desired flow rates
- Programming the control with irrigation times
- Test runs to check function and range
- Adjust pressure, flow and alignment for optimization
Once all work is completed, nothing stands in the way of automatic and efficient irrigation in the next gardening season.
