Low pressure irrigation sprinklers are a solution to hydrate plantations, especially in plots that are not too large, so if you have an area of reduced dimensions, this is the most suitable solution for your interests.
Sprinklers are those devices capable of emitting water at different pressures, depending on the model, spraying it by means of an arm with one or more outlets, called nozzles, which reach different distances depending on the variety purchased.
Thus, we can find on the market sprinklers of higher pressure irrigation that can cover the ground by rotating on itself up to 360 degrees. Therefore, they can be divided into the following types according to the force with which they disperse the water:
This is the modality we are going to deal with in this post, so that you understand what its mechanism consists of and what its models are useful for.
Low-pressure irrigation sprinklers grew in Spain due to the increase in energy costs.
The high pressure of sprinklers is one of the main headaches for farmers, as it is one of the most important items in terms of periodic disbursement.
Therefore, many of the members of this group have chosen to reduce the pressure of the nozzles in order to reduce some of the bills they have to face.
Although it is one of the most effective measures to save part of the cost, the truth is that, like so many other things, it also has some drawbacks.
Low pressure irrigation sprinklers, as we have mentioned, are the best alternative for small plots, where it is not necessary to cover a large area to keep soils and plantations hydrated.
By means of a not too high pressure for the emission of the jet, it is possible to reach most or all of the surface. In addition to this type of environment, they are also perfectly adapted to low crops, since the effect of this irrigation system reduces evaporation and the effect of the wind. For example, banana trees, nurseries, greenhouses, gardens or sub-arboreal irrigation systems often use this type of system.
Some of the features that have increased the use of this type of solutions in recent years are the following:
Taking into account these essential aspects, it is important to highlight how important it is to install this variety of sprinklers in small plots.
