Automatic Irrigation is simply the means by which an irrigation system is electronically operated using either battery operated timers or 24v controllers. Our complete range of controllers include:

•   Residential (4 zone through to 12 zone)
•   Commercial (12 zone through to 48 zone)
•   Indoor/outdoor models, and
•   Expandable controllers
•   Battery operated timers

We stock all the major brands including; Orbit, Hunter, Toro and Galcon. All our control equipment is on display for demonstration.

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.

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. 

A spray system is an above ground system which generally require less piping than drip irrigation, creating a faster installation and less disruption to existing plants or turf. Spray systems also have the advantage of providing you with clear visual confirmation your system is operating correctly and plants are being watered.

Spray systems are ideally suited to large garden and turf areas, particularly tropical gardens, where plants will benefit from the humidifying effects of a spray. Aqua Pro has an extensive range of sprinkler equipment respresenting all the major brands and suitable for any size area. We stock a complete range of micro sprays, adjustable shrub heads, fixed arc and gear driven pop-ups.

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.

Aqua Pro has a variety of different sized pressure pumps and can assist you in selecting the correct pump for your application. Some of the brands we carry include Onga, HR and Orange.

Backflow prevention valves are required to be installed on all irrigation systems to protect against possible contamination of the water supply.

Irrigation pipe is an integral part of any irrigation system. Aqua Pro can advise on the correct grade and diameter of pipe required for any sized project.
