Water is the most common substance in nature, not a single living organism, flower, vegetable or fruit can do without it. If we want our plants to regularly receive a sufficient amount of this important component, then we should worry about creating a reliable, functional irrigation system in the garden or in the garden.
There are several ways to supply water for the organization of agricultural work on the site:
- manual (buckets, watering cans, hoses);
- semi-automatic (the use of mechanisms, pipes, sprayers, including a pump for a barrel, for irrigation involving humans);
- automatic (the process is regulated by automation).
Water supply greatly facilitated the task of gardeners to organize the irrigation process on the site. But nevertheless, it is not always available both materially and practically. One of the available options is watering from a barrel with a pump. Therefore, storage tanks for water intake will never lose their relevance. Firstly, they allow the use of free water - natural precipitation, and secondly, provide heating of the water to an acceptable temperature and sedimentation of unnecessary impurities.
The manual barrel pump can be attributed to the irrigation device in the first and second ways, it all depends on the installation of pipes and communications on the site. Many people use different containers to accumulate liquid and later use buckets, but this requires great physical effort, and it is not possible to scoop out water to the end. An easy and economical way of feeding you will provide a pump for the barrel. For watering plants, supplying water to pipes for household needs, this unit will become an indispensable assistant in the garden plot. It will ensure the full use of rain accumulated water, which is considered the most favorable in its chemical and temperature parameters to provide plants with the necessary moisture and receive nutrients.
If you have a water pipe installed or an automatic water supply system is installed, then the water tank can be used for the preparation and breeding of various kinds of fertilizing and solutions for plants. In order not to carry fertilizers with buckets, watering cans, but to spray with sprayers throughout the garden, a pump for a barrel for irrigation and spraying in such cases will be useful. Agree that the feeding process cannot be carried out with the help of a water supply system, and cooking in small containers will require effort and time. Large barrels will be preferable, and a pump capacity of approximately 3800 l / h will make it possible to evenly distribute fertilizers in the desired area.
Such pump performance does not mean that your barrel will immediately become empty. It all depends on the length of the hose: the larger it is, the slower the flow of water. Many offer the connection of several barrels on the principle of communicating vessels. In such cases, one capacity is both cumulative and distribution at the same time. The pump for the barrel for irrigation is installed in it.
