The Tap connection is vital. It connects the automatic micro irrigation watering system to the mains water supply. There are three different ways to make this connection. Always use a pressure reducer to control the water pressure to ensure best performance. All installations can be automated by adding a Hozelock water computer.

Hozelock's 13mm tubing is supple, long lasting and UV resistant. It uses elbows, t-pieces and joiners to make the network, along with wall clips and stakes to secure it in place. The pipe can be buried up to 5cm in the ground or covered with mulch.The 4mm tubing takes water from the supply tube to the plants. Hozelock thick walled tubing is kink, crush and UV resistant. Use with t-pieces and in-line connectors and secure in place with stakes.

You can fit any combination of Drippers, Microjets and Mini Sprinklers to your micro irrigation system depending on the plants and where you want to water. The length of time your micro irrigation system needs to run for will depend on several factors, e.g. the time of year, the weather and the type of plants. Experiment until you get the best performance from your automatic watering system.
