The
key to Hydrosyph is that it is very low cost, very effective and very
simple to use. Every unit has instructions on how to set it up.
Hydrosyph
takes its name from the word "hydro" - the study of water, and "syph"
from the word syphon. The Hydrosyph is a self-contained watering system
for small trees, shrubs and plants. The Hydrosyph unit is placed on top
of the soil at the base of the plant and folds around the plant to form a
reservoir containing ten litres of water. The water is regulated to the
base of the plant via a root extension osmosis tube.
The
plastic materials used to manufacture the Hydrosyph are tough and
resilient. They are the best choice and most suitable for use in
horticulture. The materials contain a high percentage of "carbon black"
and "UV stabilizers". This combination of protection will give the
Hydrosyph unit many years of service even in harsh weather conditions.
The Hydrosyph plant watering system is quick and easy to assemble.
Simply follow the directions to fold around the plant. Water is added
through a filling spout and the root extension osmosis tube is installed
by placing one end into the filling spout, the other into a prepared
hole
50mm deep at the base of the plant.
Hydrosyph
will regulate the ten litres of stored water to the base of the plant
over a period of six weeks in normal conditions. Field tests and reports
back from customers show that in hot conditions and/or in sandy soils
the Hydrosyph will deliver water at a faster rate to keep the soil
moist. It reduces the growth of weeds/grass growing around the base
of new plantings and keeps water loss through evaporation to a minimum
promoting a favourable "Eco System" around the base of the plant.
Hydrosyph
can also be used as a dispenser for liquid fertilizers. Water-soluble
fertilizers can be added to the stored water in Hydrosyph, this will
give the plant the nutrients it requires in poor soil conditions. The
slow and controlled release of the fertilizer directly to the root ball
suggests the Hydrosyph is a very economical nutrient dispenser.
It
is important to note that the Hydrosyph system will not block up and
require maintenance once installed. Other systems on the market do have
these problems coupled with the fact that they suffer from high
evaporation rates and need to be refilled very often, adding addition
labour costs to their already inflated price.
Hydrosyph is available as single units, packs of 5 or 50, or as is most commonly sold, rolls of 300 - this makes it more efficient to transport and store.
