Metal Micro Riser Stake

Micro Drippers are perfect for pots, but your challenge is delivering the water to the pot. We suggest you run Poly Pipe as close as you can & then thin Micro Tube as hidden from view as possible up into the pot.

Due to the different flow rates or each type, it’s often not recommended. A micro spray will typically provide water at 1-2lpm, where as a fixed micro dripper will provide far less, at 2-8lph. However, there are adjustable drippers which can provide higher flows & there are applications where you may want less flow, like pots or native planting.

Each spray & dripper provides water at different rates, but the key factor is the flow rate of your water supply. Work that out with a simple timed bucket test. From there, you can work out how much water each sprinkler you’re looking at uses & work within your flow limit. For more information, check our Product Guides.

Because of their small outlets, micro sprays can block from time to time. Fixing individual sprays can be as simple as unscrewing them & simply blowing the blockage back out. To avoid repeat blockages we recommend installing a simple inline filter.

Yes, micro irrigation systems are designed for easy DIY installation. With a few basic tools and our guides, most homeowners and gardeners can set up a system tailored to their needs.

Yes, micro irrigation is perfect for hanging baskets and pots. Use adjustable drippers or micro sprays to provide precise amounts of water to each container, preventing over- or under-watering.

Small holes or cuts can be fixed with barbed joiners or goof plugs. For larger damage, cut out the affected section and rejoin the tubing with appropriate connectors.

You should consider using micro irrigation when you want precise, efficient watering for specific plants or garden areas, such as garden beds, vegetable patches, pots, hanging baskets, or landscaped zones. Micro irrigation is ideal for situations where water conservation is important, where you need to avoid wetting foliage, or when you want to minimise weed growth by delivering water only to the root zones. It’s especially beneficial for irregularly shaped gardens, densely planted areas, or locations with water restrictions. Micro irrigation is also a great choice for DIY gardeners seeking easy installation and customisation.

The best way to water your veggie patch is by using a drip irrigation or micro irrigation system. These methods deliver water directly to the root zones of your vegetables, ensuring consistent moisture while minimising water waste due to evaporation or runoff. Drip tube or micro drippers can be laid out along your rows or around each plant, providing targeted hydration that promotes healthy growth and reduces the risk of fungal diseases that can occur with overhead watering. For optimal results, use a tap timer or controller to automate watering, and consider adding a filter and pressure reducer to prevent clogs and ensure even water distribution.

Fully installed by a professional, a domestic irrigation system will come out to about $1000 per zone. And as a DIY project, it can look more like $300 per zone! But of course that’s a very rough estimate, each system is different and there are a lot of factors to consider. Thankfully, we have the only tool around that INSTANTLY give an accurate estimate for your. Try our INSTANT Irrigation Quote Tool here!

To choose the right irrigation system, consider the size and layout of your garden or lawn, the types of plants you’re watering and your water source.
