Installation Guide

At what pressure do the sprinklers (pulsating/turbo-driven) start and
what is the maximum operating pressure?
The sprinklers start at 1.5 bar. The maximum pressure is 6 bar.
What are the features of the GARDENA Soaker Hose and what must be
taken into account when installing it?
The GARDENA soaker hose can only be installed above ground. It should be
laid out on the ground and should only be covered with bark mulch or
groundcover. There is a risk that the pores will become clogged or that roots
will grow into the pores if the hose is buried.
Please note that a maximum of 30 meters may be laid in one piece. The
soaker hose can be laid in a straight line along a hedge or in wavy lines
through a bed.
The operating pressure upstream of the soaker hose should be at least 1 bar.
The water consumption is between 0 and 15 l/h per meter depending on the
outside temperature.
Soaker Hose Connection Set Art. No. 1989 or GARDENA Master Unit Art. No.
1354/1355 needs to be fitted to the opening of the soaker hose.
Why do the sprinkler hoses come in different colors?
Brown and green hoses are unobtrusive, depending on the given surface.
Orange hoses are purchased by those customers who need a color that
stands out so that people don’t trip over the hose and so that it is not
overlooked when mowing the lawn.
Are GARDENA Garden Pumps, Electronic Pressure Pumps and Pressure
Tank Units frost-proof?
No, none of the GARDENA pumps are frost-proof. They should never be
exposed to frost, even if they have been drained. The pumps must be set up
in a frost-proof environment or overwintered to prevent frost from damaging
the pump hydraulics. In this context, it is important to note that summer
houses and garages are generally not fully frost-proof.
