The Pines was fitted with a fully automatic irrigation system designed to water lawns, borders and planted areas across the garden. The system is supplied from two linked 2,000 litre above ground water storage tanks, providing a practical storage solution for the garden’s irrigation demand.
A Lowara surface mounted pump with Hydrovar variable speed control was installed to manage water delivery through the system. This allows the pump performance to respond to demand, helping to support consistent pressure across the irrigation zones.
Key system features
The system is controlled through a Hunter HCC Hydrawise controller and a two wire decoder system. Lawn areas are irrigated using Rain Bird 5000 Series rotors and Rain Bird 1800 Series pop up sprinklers with R VAN rotary nozzles. Planting areas are watered using Palaplast Paladrip pressure compensated dripline, with HDPE pipework forming the main distribution network.
The result is a smart, automatic irrigation system that gives the garden reliable watering coverage while reducing the need for manual watering.
