Watering

Drip irrigation

If you connect a drip system to a mains tap, UK water regulations require backflow prevention (a double check valve, plus a DB valve fitted above the highest dripper) to stop dirty garden water siphoning back into the drinking supply.

Where to get help
Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999; your water company and WRAS

A network of thin pipes and drippers delivering water plant by plant.

Notes

Best for greenhouses, pots and veg beds.
