Çoğu bahçe ve balkon bitkisi, sıcak ve kurak yaz aylarında ek sulamaya bağımlıdır. Birçok sebze, yıllık yaz çiçekleri ve yeni bitkilerin yüzeye yakın büyüyen narin kökleri vardır. Bu kökler, toprağın derinliklerine gömülü su rezervlerini çekmek için çok az güce sahiptir. Bitkileri sulamanın en uygun yolu musluk suyudur, ancak bu oldukça pahalı bir yöntemdir. Bitkilerinizi toplanan yağmur suyuyla sulamak çok daha uygun maliyetli ve çevre için daha iyidir! Yağmur suyunun ne çok soğuk ne de çok kireçli olduğu için hassas bitkiler için harika olduğundan bahsetmiyorum bile.
If you have a small garden, simple rain barrels or old wine barrels placed underneath the rainwater pipe are great collection containers. Place a lid on these containers to avoid contamination and prevent the water from becoming a breeding ground for mosquitoes. It is also recommended to install a water overflow system, which allows extra water to run off via a downpipe in case of heavy rain. If you have a larger garden, an underground water cistern may be a better-suited solution. Keep in mind that leaving the water unused for extended periods will allow germs to colonize – whether the water was stored above or below ground.
Regardless of your preferred water storage solution, modern garden pumps help you retrieve collected rainwater quietly and reliably according to your needs. If you are looking for a more precise water control system, connecting a water meter (AquaCount) directly to the pump is a great option. You can track water consumption levels per day, season, and schedule on the easy-to-read display. Or check the current water flow with a touch of a button. Using a water meter will help you develop a better understanding of when and where water is being used.
GARDENA’s completely revised AquaCount range offers extremely quiet pumps that can be operated and automated via Bluetooth. GARDENA products have efficient hydraulics, effectively keeping costs and noise levels lower than ever before. Use the GARDENA pump advisor to help you choose the right pump for your needs.
