Irrigation equipment

 

Lawn Sprinklers

Lawn Sprinklers:  Pop up sprinklers full or part circle installed flush with finished ground level complete with adjustable swing arms for height adjustment and leveling. Sprinklers are located so that minimum over spray and maximum coverage is achieved.

 

Garden Sprinklers

Fixed sprinklers installed along garden edges to minimise over spray and give total coverage to plants, complete with risers at various heights to give desired performance.

 

Drip Irrigation

Tube with built in drippers installed on top of soil before the mulch in gardens and before turf in lawns and pegged down with metal stakes. Drip line is installed between 40cm- 60cm spacing’s for total coverage.

 

Pots

Pots can be watered by tubes and drippers and separately controlled.

 

Vegetable Gardens

Sprinklers on high risers are installed around edges leaving the soil free from pipe work so the soil can be turned when replanting new crops without damaging the system.

 

Tree Ferns

Misters are installed to tree ferns and alike at the crown to ensure adequate watering.

 

Solenoid Valves

Irrigation Systems are split up into zones and each zone is controlled by a 24volt solenoid valve installed in protective below ground valve boxes for easy future locating and access. Solenoids are wired up to a controller.

 

Controllers

Automatic Irrigation Systems are controlled by an electronic controller which is plugged into a power outlet for the sole use of the irrigation system.

 

Cable

Low voltage (24VAC) wiring is installed from the controller to the solenoid valves in double insulated cable which is laid in the trenches beside pipe work.

 

Rain Sensors

A rain shut-off device is generally installed on the roof gutters so that in the case of rainfall the system will turn off automatically.

 

Backflow Preventer

Water is obtained from mains connection point via an approved backflow prevention device to comply with Sydney Water Board Regulations. http://www.sydneywater.com.au This device prevents the contamination of the house hold drinking supply.

 

Piping

Piping is generally class 12 pressure pipes before the zone solenoid valves and low density poly pipe after the zone solenoid valves, where piping feeds the sprinklers. Piping is installed below ground level.

 

Quality Brands

Brands selected are the most appropriate type for the efficient operation of the system such as; Rainbird  www.rainbird.com   Toro www.toro.com Hunter www.hunterindustries.com  and Holman. www.holmanindustries.com.au

 

Driveways and Paths

Access under drive ways and paths can be achieved by an under road boring machine

 

Paved Areas

Paved areas can be lifted and replaced back to original condition.

 

Turf Cutting

Existing turf can be lifted by a turf cutting machine, and then replaced after the laying of pipe back to original condition

tank and pump equipment

 

Tanks

Selected tank (see choosing a rain water tank below) installed complete with all connections to storm water downpipes & overflow, pump & filter feeding taps and irrigation. Comes in concrete, metal & polyethylene. Above ground & below ground and in all colours.

 

Tank Preparation

The ground is prepared and a pad is laid to suit the type of tank chosen. eg: sand base, paved pad or concrete pad.

 

Pumps

Auto pressure system complete with run dry protection including tap, filter, pipe and fittings. Pump to draw from tank and automatically supply tap and irrigation system on demand. Pump to deliver sufficient pressure & flow to operate system equal or better than town water supply.  Pump will shut down automatically when the tank runs dry. This prevents the pump from being damaged.

 

Leaf Strainer

Fits onto gutter downpipe. Prevents leafs and large debris from entering tank water supply.

 

First Flush Driver

Auto flushing device. Fits onto gutter downpipe. This device will flush out the first 7 to 14 litres to waste before tank starts to fill.

 

Tank Gauge

Installed to the top of the tank and determines the level of water inside the tank.

 

Auto Top-Up System

This will allow tanks to be filled automatically from the water supply when water level in tank is low.

 

Auto Change Over System

This system automatically changes the tank water supply over to town water supply when the tank is empty. Ideal for washing machine and toilet flushing.

 

Filtration

A filter unit is installed on the discharge line, where feeding taps and irrigation systems.  Essential for the efficient operation of the system.

CHOOSING A RAINWATER TANK

Factors to consider when determining the size of your tank.

Rainfall - How much rainfall you receive in your area.

Roof area - How large the catchment surface is.

Water usage - What you intend to use rainwater for and how much you expect to use.

Site characteristics - How much space you have, and the location of the tank.

Following is the rainfall catchment formula:  1 mm of rain x 1 square metre of roof area = 1 litre of water.

Use the following formula to size your tank: Roof area x Annual Rainfall = Maximum available for capture.

Then determine...

Most days without rain X Average Daily Water Use = Storage Volume required on day one of a dry spell.

If for example, the most days without rain was 40 days and the average daily usage was 400L, the volume on hand on day one of 40 days would have to be 16 000L.

 

It is very difficult to predict the required volume, because often a dry period will start when the tank is not full. However, this method provides a guideline and you can add a safety factor on top of this requirement.

 

Location of the tank.

It is important to consider the space you have available, whether the vessel is to be installed above or below ground, below the roof line or above it, whether you will have one or two tanks, connected or installed as separate systems and what ground surface preparation is required.

 

When Real Irrigation comes to survey and quote your water tank system we will determine the size and location for you. FREE! You won’t have to do a thing.

We can provide a design and a price to suit all budgets.

 

 

WATER FEATURES & GARDEN LIGHTING

 

Water Features

Selected water feature installed to individual taste including garden features, outdoor & indoor features, pond & pondless features, pool features, solar features, wall fountain & waterfall features.

 

Pumps

A submersible pump (low voltage, 240 volt or solar) is installed into the water feature for the movement of water. The size, type & brand shall be determined by the type & size of the water feature. Generally all pond pumps are low wattage and are designed for 24 hour operation

 

Biological Filter

This filter is fitted to the pump and provides an environment where beneficial bacteria efficiently feed on impurities in the water breaking down fish wastes and other organic matter. The size, type & brand shall be determined by the type & size of the water feature.

 

Ultra-Violet Clarifier

This clarifier is fitted to the pump and causes single-cell algae (waterborne algae) to clump together under the action of ultra-violet light, greatly increasing the efficiency of filtration for an algae free water feature. The size, type & brand shall be determined by the type & size of the water feature.

 

Pond & Garden Lighting

Selected submersible lights and external garden lights (low voltage, 240 volt or solar) can be installed in the pond and throughout the whole garden including all cable, transformers and controllers
