    Default Watering rings

    Hi all. I've made some diy watering rings using 4mm 't' and elbows but it doesn't spread the water that evenly. It's all hooked up to a pump on a timer.
    Does anybody in the U.K. Know where to get those halo watering rings? If it matters it's for 15l airpots.

    If not, has anybody made their own and would they mind sharing what parts they used?
    Thanks folks

    They won't spread the water evenly unless all your lines are same length and all positioned at the same height ..also depends how powerful your pump is. I personally use drippers and never had any problems using them. Think few people ordered halo rings from ebay or amazon..

    I toyed with making my own. 13mm Tee piece length of the white 13mm pipe. Heated the tip of a small pozzi screwdriver and pushed through the length of pipe. Re-heat between pushing holes in. I put 12 holes in to about 18 inch (45cm) of tube which turned out to be just about a 6 inch ring. Best to fit the Tee piece first to ensure your holes are all pointing down.

    Worked well because I made quite large holes, but made it difficult to move pots as the ring has to go round the stem of course. The 40l per hour blue drip stakes do a good job for me now.
