In summer cottages, gardens, lawns and lawns, you can see special watering devices that provide plants and grass with water. They are very convenient in that they allow you to irrigate large areas of land, and some modifications work automatically, almost without human help. Modern watering devices are indispensable equipment in the garden, in the garden and on large lawns.
Types and Features
So, sprinklers for irrigation (or sprinklers). They are divided into:
- rotary (with a rotating working part);
- static (the most common type);
- pulsed (pulsation spray water over short and long distances);
- oscillating (designed for irrigation of quadrangular areas of the earth).
In addition, sprinklers for irrigation are manual and stationary. If hand-held devices are a nozzle on a garden hose, then stationary ones are connected to the water supply system and are installed directly on the lawn.
Automation and Electronics
Stationary irrigation sprinklers can be automated and equipped with special timers and sensors. Automation is triggered when the device is configured for a specific watering time and frequency; during rainfall, the system shuts down.
Some automatic devices use internal LEDs to illuminate the top of the nozzle through which water is sprayed. Such sprinklers operate from water pressure, under the influence of which the built-in generator gives the necessary amount of electrical energy. LEDs can change color and have sufficient brightness to make the water fountain look colorful. Such a sight is especially spectacular and colorful when it is dark outside.
Convenience of watering
Many summer residents use sprinklers to water the garden and infield. The devices can be in the form of a gun, the tip of which is sent to the place of irrigation and allows you to change the stream of water. This is convenient in the inaccessibility of a certain garden plant, which must be watered.
Typically, sprinklers for irrigation are installed on the ground or stuck in it. When they work, a fountain forms, irrigating the lawn area around. Automatic devices spray water in a radius of 5 meters, in height up to 2 meters. Pulse sprinklers look spectacular due to the rotation of the irrigation part of the device.
Rotary sprinklers are used in large areas, for example, in public parks. Static sprinklers are used in the fixed sector and are most common among summer residents. They have the form of a spray fan, socket or umbrella.
Thus, using special modern technology, you can not only provide constant watering in the garden, on the lawn or in the garden. Sprinklers can favorably emphasize the overall design of the home garden and make it more interesting and original!
