Drip irrigation "Beetle"

The range of Zhuk irrigation systems includes sets for watering 30 and 60 plants. The kits differ in the type of connection: from a water pipe or a container, as well as the presence or absence of a timer. An expansion kit for 20 plants can be purchased separately.

Drip irrigation "Beetle" is based on the use of a drip tube and external droppers. The special structure of droppers (sinusoidal) prevents their contamination. Each set includes a filter.

You will have to mount the system yourself: using the supplied awl, holes are made in the tube, then micro-hoses with droppers are attached to it.

The set for watering from a barrel includes a transparent tube-level, with the help of which the amount of remaining water is controlled.

Instructions for self-assembly

The system is installed according to the following scheme:

1. laying the main hose and fixing it with brackets. The hose is laid bypassing the shower, washbasin, toilet, greenhouse and other garden buildings, as well as away from the places of permanent residence of vacationers, so as not to damage the device;

Laying and fixing the main hose on the site

Before further assembly and laying of the Zhuk drip irrigation system, it is necessary to wait 1-2 hours, during which the main hose will fully straighten.

1. drip assembly. It is necessary to attach thin hoses to the small tee and droppers to the other end of the hoses. To facilitate the assembly process, the parts can be held for 1 - 2 minutes in hot water, which will soften the material of manufacture;

Connecting hoses and drippers

1. at the locations of the droppers, holes are made in the main hose. The work is carried out with the help of an awl included in the system kit;

Arrangement of holes for droppers in the main hose

1. installation of drips. A tee is inserted into the prepared hole.Droppers are stuck into the ground at a minimum distance from the seedling;

Arrangement of watering from droppers

1. choice of connection method. As a source of water supply can be used:

• plumbing available in the garden. In this situation, it is necessary to purchase a kit for connecting to the water supply system;
• any capacity. If it is planned to supply water from a barrel, then the kit should contain all the elements necessary for this situation.

The source of water supply for which the kit is intended is indicated on the packaging.

Systems with different connection methods

1. connection. If the water supply is from the tank, then the fitting is installed in the hole of the selected tank. If the water will come from the main water supply, then a tie-in is made into the system accordingly. Next, a cut of the main hose, a large tee, a hose - level, a cut of the line, a tap and a filter are installed.

Wiring and assembly diagram
