Micro sprinklers for irrigation

Micro sprinklers for targeted irrigation

Micro sprinklers are ideal for smaller planted areas, garden beds, raised beds and other areas that require targeted and even watering. Unlike individual drippers, they do not release water at just one point. Depending on the model, they distribute water across a larger area around the sprinkler.

This makes micro sprinklers a practical addition to drip irrigation. While dripline and individual emitters deliver water at specific points, micro sprinklers can irrigate larger groups of plants. This allows you to adapt your irrigation system to different plants and areas throughout the garden.

Full-circle and part-circle micro sprinklers

Micro sprinklers are available with different spray patterns depending on the model. Full-circle versions distribute water around the sprinkler and are suitable for open areas within a bed. Part-circle micro sprinklers water a selected sector and can be useful along the edges of planted areas.

Models can also differ in watering radius, flow rate and distribution pattern. This allows you to select suitable micro sprinklers according to the size and shape of the area. Plan their positions so that plants receive sufficient water while reducing unnecessary watering outside the planted area.

Connect micro sprinklers flexibly

Many micro sprinklers can be connected to a larger supply line using micro tubing. This means the main pipe does not have to run directly past every sprinkler. Simply route the micro tubing from the supply line to the required position and install the sprinkler using a compatible stake or support.

This flexible installation is particularly useful for raised beds and irregularly shaped planted areas. Make sure that the micro tubing, connectors and sprinklers are compatible. Available water flow and operating pressure should also meet the technical requirements of the selected micro sprinklers.

Build your own micro irrigation system

You can build your own micro irrigation system using supply pipes, micro tubing, micro fittings and suitable micro sprinklers. Individual drippers and dripline can also be added where required. This allows you to combine different watering methods within one garden irrigation system.

A suitable filter helps protect small nozzles and water passages from contaminants. Depending on the system, a pressure regulator may also be required. An irrigation controller and solenoid valves can automate your micro irrigation system and provide regular watering for beds and plants.
