High-quality and regular watering is a prerequisite for the growth and development of plants and, accordingly, a guarantee of a rich harvest. Moisture is especially needed for crops grown in greenhouses where rain cannot be expected. Today, to resolve this issue, many gardeners choose the system of Belarusian production "Aqua-Dusya" (the spelling "Aqua-Dusya" is also correct), which is gaining more and more popularity. It is designed for drip irrigation of plants in the greenhouse or in the open field. Installation of the system is quite simple, you just need to follow the recommendations described in the instructions.

Important! "Aqua-Dusya" is produced in three versions: for automatic, semi-automatic and non-automatic watering of plants.

Features of the "Aqua-Dusya" system

With the help of "Aqua-Dusi" plants are watered by a drip method, water is delivered directly under the root of each bush. With this method, water consumption is significantly reduced, a crust does not form on the soil and the plants receive the air necessary for their development. The hoses are cut in the required quantity and the required size, taking into account the location of the landings in a specific area. The electronic starter is battery operated.

System "Aqua-Dusya"

The "Aqua-Dusya" drip irrigation system is quite simple to assemble and operate. It is programmed to supply water to the plant in the required volume at a certain frequency. The launcher starts at the set time in the morning or evening. Thus, "AquaDusya" provides the optimal mode of automatic watering of plants, which is set taking into account the needs of a particular crop. The manufacturer's instructions contain recommendations for the frequency with which it is necessary to water the main garden plantings.

"AquaDusya", an automatic micro-drip irrigation system, is especially important for greenhouses. The moisture requirement of greenhouse plants is much higher than that of those growing outdoors. Heat-loving crops are grown in the greenhouse, which is especially important to water with non-cold water.

Operating principle

AquaDusya is available in several versions. Models "AquaDusya Start", "AquaDusya Water TAP 2" and "AquaDusya 60" differ in the way of filling the barrel with water and the principle of starting. The complete set of any option includes hoses of different calibers and a set of droppers that deliver fluid to the roots.

Operating principle

Watering the garden

The water in the barrel is heated naturally. On average, its consumption per plant is 2 liters at a time. The duration of the system operation during watering is from 60 to 120 minutes. Then the cycle repeats according to the set program. The watering mode is set on the electronic control unit.

"AquaDusya" works as follows: in the daytime the water in the barrel is heated in the sun, in the evening at the set time the start is triggered and the automatic watering is started.

The pump is started for a short time so that water fills the hose thrown over the edge of the barrel. This principle of starting the system allows you to get by with one set of batteries throughout the season.

Note! The manufacturer recommends using lithium batteries. They are not afraid of temperature changes, and also hold a charge for a long time.

The barrel must be installed at an elevated position so that irrigation is carried out due to the difference in height. Gravity from the water tank occurs even with a minimal difference, 10 cm will be enough.

The Aquadusya machine is convenient for those who cannot be outside the city all the time. Having installed the system, all that remains is to control and timely replenish the water supply in the barrel.
