Gardena Micro-Drip-System vs Gardena Pipeline
We can't discuss the Gardena Micro-Drip-System irrigation system without also mentioning the Gardena Pipeline System. This is because these two systems can easily be connected. Whereas the Micro-Drip-System is completely above-ground, the Gardena Pipeline system is completely underground. This is the biggest visible difference, but certainly not the only one.
The Gardena Pipeline system is best described as a permanent underground watering system that transports water to wherever you want it. It allows you to install a water source wherever it is needed. To build this entire system, Pipeline uses the same pipes and connectors as the Micro-Drip-System. Thanks to the Quick&Easy connectors, the system can be built out in no time.
The basis of the Pipeline system is the Connection Set. You connect it to the water tap and from there the water is distributed - underground - through the supply pipes. At the places where you want a water point, you install a water station or water plug. You can install a garden hose, oscillating sprinkler, garden tap, etc. from there. Installations specific to the Micro-Drip-System such as endline dripheads or drip tubes can also be connected to the Pipeline System. The Gardena Pipeline System is completely frost-proof as water left in the pipes can be easily drained with a Drain Valve Set.
