Installing the irrigation
system
You can position the product as you like and use
it to supply up to 36 plants with water. Cut the
hoses to appropriate lengths.
The thick hoses (5) connect the pump to the drip
distributors (10) and the narrow hoses (6) carry
the water from there to the plants.
There are three different drip distributors that
have a different flow rate per day:
A: 15ml/day – for plants that have a low water
requirement
B: 30ml/day – for plants that have a medium
water requirement
C: 60ml/day – for plants that have a high water
requirement
• You can use several drip hoses to water plants
with a very high water requirement (< 60ml/
day).
• Use saucers or planters to catch any excess
water.
• If you don't know how much water your plants
need, consult specialist shops, specialist litera-
ture or the internet.

Preparing for assembly

1. Group your plants according to their water
needs. Be aware that the water requirements
of your plants may change if they are moved
to a new location.
2. Cut the hoses (5 and 6) as required. Make
sure that you cut the hoses straight at the
connection points (Fig. B).

(5).
2. Slide the hose (5) over one of the three con-
nections on the pump (3).

Repeat steps 1-3 for the other two connections.
Note: If you don't want to use all the connec-
tions, screw a cover cap (8) onto each unused
connection.
4. Slide a screw sleeve (7) onto the other side of
the connected hose (5).
