Porous Pipe - 13mm

When laid under garden mulch, porous pipe (13mm) is a simple and straightforward method of watering areas that do not require regular cultivation. Use pipe pegs to hold the porous pipe on the surface of the soil or under a layer of mulch. Each 50m roll of pipe covers an area approximately 15m².

This 13mm porous pipe generally emits an approximate average of 4 l/hour per metre, although this figure depends on a number of factors such as input pressure and the dirtiness of the pipe. Unlike our range of drip pipe, porous pipe is not self cleaning and will slowly reduce in flow as dirt and soil clogs the pipe's pores.

To ensure reliable operation and to prevent uneven watering, all Porous pipe systems require the use of a Claber pressure reducer (or in-line pressure reducer) to automatically reduce the tap pressure to a consistent 1 bar. We also recommend using an in-line filter to remove any small debris that may otherwise enter the inside of the porous pipe and become trapped, reducing flow through the pipe's pores.
