Product details

Small nursery standpipe system is designed for Market Garden and Smaller Nursery watering operations, this package consists of a 5,000 litre water storage tank with submersible pump, 50m of underground supply pipe and two standpipes.

With a pumped system running off a dedicated storage tank a nursery will have a stable pressure and flow which will generally be much higher than available from the mains. This allows watering to be completed more quickly, especially useful and important during the busy season.

To meet Water Regulations, the storage tank is equipped with a Type AB air gap kit, preventing direct connections between irrigation systems and the public water main. This setup is crucial for regulatory compliance, as it eliminates the risk of backflow into the public water supply.

In addition to hand watering with a lance (not included in package) the system allows valve boxes to be added to the nursery watering system for automatic control and sprinkler risers can be installed to water larger areas such as standing out areas or tunnels.

The tank, made of durable polythene, has a capacity 5,000 litres, with dimensions of 1900mm in diameter and 2185mm in height.

The submersible pump has a built-in non return valve and a connection for a floating inlet. Flow (m3/hr): 4.2@20m, 3.0@30m, 1.4@40m In/Out: 1″ BSPF kW: 1.2 FLC amps: 4.8 Cable: 15m

Additionally, 50 meters of supply piping, along with tees and fittings for the two standpipes, completes the setup, making it a robust and practical solution for nursery irrigation.
