Backflow Prevention & Pressure Reduction
Backflow prevention valves are required to be installed on all irrigation systems to protect against possible contamination of the water supply.
A backflow prevention valve is a threaded brass fitting which can be fitted directly to the water supply (i.e garden tap) and only allows water to flow in one direction. Current rules and regulations can be found on Sydney Water's website: www.sydneywater.com.au.
Aqua Pro has a range of pressure reduction valves designed to reduce both static and operating pressures. Pressure regulators are recommended for all irrigation systems to ensure reliable and effective use, and prevent blow-outs or pipe damage. Brass static pressure regulators may be required if the static pressure exceeds the maximum rating on the timer or solenoid valve being used.
Aqua Pro can advise you on the most suitable backflow prevention valve and pressure reduction required for your project.
Automatic Irrigation is simply the means by which an irrigation system is electronically operated using either battery operated timers or 24v controllers.
Irrigation controllers allow you to operate your watering system to a program, controlling what time of the day the system comes on, how long it operates for, and how frequently (days of the week).
Battery operated timers are generally selected according to the amount of static pressure they are being installed under, the water flow required, and programmability.
Battery operated timers can be easily installed onto any tap, without the need to lay any electrical cabling.
The Galcon 7001 is a popular timer with long battery life, high pressure holding capabilities and easy to use programming this is the timer of choice for the Australian irrigation market.
Drip irrigation is an efficient watering system where minimal water is wasted through wind, evaporation, run-off or overspray.
Drip irrigation is effective against erosion, soil compaction, and insect and fungal problems in plants. We stock an extensive range of integrated drip lines for garden and turf application.
When using stored water, in the form of a rain tank or retention tank for the purpose of irrigation or general hosing, you will require a pressure pump.
Pressure pumps are sized according to the flow rate and operating pressure required to operate your irrigation system.
Pond Pumps are an essential part of any water garden.
They are selected to operate a water feature/waterfall, filtration system or to simply aerate water.
We carry a large range of major brands offering mains connection, low voltage and solar pumps.
Let us help size the right pump for your your next water feature project.
A filtration system is an excellent way to keep your pond water healthy and clear with minimal maintenance.
Filter systems can be installed either in the water (in-pond filter) or external to the pond (pressurized or KOI/gravity filters).
Whether you are looking for a formal water feature or one to blend in with your natural surroundings, Aqua Pro can offer assistance to find the most suitable feature for any project.
We have an extensive range of indoor and outdoor water features.
We specialise in exclusive urn and bowl sets that are easy to set up indoors or outdoors, these can be viewed in our water feature catalogue on our online store or at our showroom 9 Ponderosa Parade Warriewood.
