FAQs

What is micro-irrigation?

Micro-irrigation is a method of watering that delivers water slowly and precisely directly to the plant's root zone, often through fine mists or drips. This conserves water and is more efficient than traditional sprinklers.

How much water does this system save?

This system significantly reduces water usage by minimizing run-off, evaporation, and wind drift compared to conventional watering methods, leading to increased water use efficiency.

What is included in the kit?

The kit includes everything you need to get started, such as tap connectors, ground spikes, drip emitters, and 10 meters of tubing.

Can I extend the tubing length?

While the kit includes 10 meters of tubing, you may be able to purchase additional compatible tubing and connectors separately to extend the system's reach, depending on availability and water pressure.

Is this system suitable for all types of plants?

Yes, the mist spray is ideal for delicate plants, seedlings, and general irrigation. The precise delivery is beneficial for most garden plants.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The St Helens Micro Sprinkler - Mist Spray Set comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Can this system be used for hydroponics?

This system is primarily designed for soil-based irrigation and cooling. It is not intended for hydroponic systems, which require different setups.

How do I connect it to my tap?

The kit includes a tap connector that is designed to fit standard outdoor faucets. Simply screw the connector onto your faucet before attaching the main tubing.

Troubleshooting

No water mist is being produced.

Ensure the tap is turned on fully. Check that the tubing is securely connected to the tap connector and that all emitters are properly attached. Verify that there are no kinks or blockages in the 10-meter tubing.

Uneven mist distribution.

Adjust the position of the mist spray emitters. Ensure the tubing is laid out evenly and not stretched too tightly. In windy conditions, mist effectiveness will naturally be reduced; consider using during calmer periods.

Low water pressure.

Check the main water supply pressure. Ensure the tap connector is not restricting flow. If using multiple emitters, ensure the water pressure is sufficient for the number of outlets.

Emitters are clogged.

Gently remove the clogged emitter and rinse it under running water. Use a small, soft brush or pin to dislodge any debris. If the issue persists, consider replacing the emitter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the tap connector to your outdoor faucet.
  2. Attach the 10-meter tubing to the tap connector.
  3. Lay out the tubing to your desired planting areas or cooling zones.
  4. Insert the ground spikes to secure the tubing in place.
  5. Attach the mist spray emitters or drip emitters at appropriate intervals along the tubing, ensuring they are directed at the soil surface.
  6. Turn on the water supply slowly to test the system and adjust emitter positions as needed.

Compatibility: This system is designed to connect to standard outdoor faucets. Ensure your faucet is compatible with the provided tap connector.

Care:

  • Periodically check emitters for blockages, especially if using water with high mineral content.
  • Clean the tap connector and emitters with a soft brush and water as needed.
  • Store the tubing and components in a dry place during winter months to prevent damage from frost.
