Drip Systems
Drip irrigation is an efficient watering system where minimal water is wasted through wind, evaporation, run-off or over spray.
Our Integrated drip lines are available in 4mm, 6mm and 13mm diameters and coil sizes ranging from 25m to 200m. Drip lines contain an internal drip emitter factory fitted at 15cm, 30cm or 40cm intervals. Drip lines can be installed either above or below the surface of the soil or under a layer of mulch. The drip line diameter you use is generally dependant on the length of the drip line lateral. The maximum length of a drip line lateral is the maximum distance that the drip line can run while maintaining sufficient discharge uniformity and adequate flushing velocity. Aqua Pro can assist you with all the relevant technical information relating to your project.
When selecting the correct drip emitter interval spacing, you should consider soil composition - i.e. Light (Sandy) soils are free draining & usually won't allow water to disperse laterally. Medium (Loamy) soils are less free draining & will allow for some lateral movement of water through soil. Heavy (Clay) soils don't drain readily & as a result allow for more lateral movement of water. Due to the soil characteristics drip emitter & drip line lateral spacings increase as the soil type becomes heavier. If you are unsure of the soil type it is suggested to work on light soil spacings.
We also carry drip emitters with 2, 4 and 8lph discharge rates, as well as emitters with adjustable flow rates. Drip emitters attach to standard irrigation (black poly pipe) and apply a consistent amount of water to your garden plants. Emitters are effective for watering small garden areas, or pots and planters. At the very least, one emitter is required at the base of each plant and can be installed straight into the main irrigation pipe or extended away from the pipe using 4mm flexible black tube.
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.
