Our garden watering system offers a versatile and comprehensive range suitable for a variety of gardening applications and brings major benefits to all types of gardeners.
Be you a beginner or an experienced gardener, you will value the difference WaterUps makes to your garden, saving you time and money – and with better results.
WaterUps uses the power of wicking to draw water that is stored in a water reservoir below soil level up to the plants or lawn above.
The technology helps create the optimal soil moisture conditions for healthy plant growth, reducing the evaporation and ineffectiveness of top-down watering systems.
It’s so efficient that WaterUps uses 20% of the water of top-down watering systems. Put another way – watering from under the ground lasts 80% longer – which means you water 80% less – what a fantastic time saving! – giving you the freedom to spend time in the garden doing what you love.
Each WaterUps cell has 4 wicks, think “feet”, that sit inside a water-tight reservoir. The wicks are filled with perlite which draws up – or wicks – water stored in the reservoir up to the soil above and close to plant roots. The reservoirs are filled up by a hose or watering can via an above ground inlet pipe (see pic below). Each wicking cell can hold 17 Ls of water. That is why the water last so long!
The extensive WaterUps range means you can have small or large garden areas set up to be watered by WaterUps wicking.
HOW TO USE WATERUPS IN YOUR GARDEN
The WaterUps Square Planter — the baby of our range (pic below) — comes complete with a WaterUps Wicking system already set up. It’s perfect for herb gardens shrubs, small trees such as citrus and vegetables like tomatoes and eggplants..
Or, you can install the WaterUps Wicking Starter Kit or Tree Reservoir in larger statement pots for a water-efficient solution. These can be used at entrances, stairwells, rooftop gardens and more.
We have a range of stylish ready to go garden beds that can be used for a variety of plants around your garden and for courtyards and the like.
Our Oasis 1240 can help you establish a verdant green screen along narrow borders where planting in the ground might be a challenge – along with a great result.
Our Artesian planters (pic below) can be used on balconies for close access to herbs or in other areas of your garden.
We have wicking reservoir liner kits to enable you to make your own custom garden beds out of the material of your choice like cement or sandstone blocks, recycled timber, metal and so on. By using WaterUps you have a highly efficient garden watering system.
The Oasis 1680, which is one of our most popular products, provides food security for households while reducing the burden of gardening and watering. (See pic below with plants in it.) It’s a popular choice for school vegetable gardens as it can practically sustain itself with water over school holidays. Eager school gardeners can return after term breaks to plants that are still living and often thriving.
WaterUps provides the WaterUps Sub-Irrigation Channel (SIC) which can be used for so many applications – in raised garden beds (see set-up in soil below) as well as in ground or mounded beds. The system can easily be increased in size (lengthwise, sideways, even at right angles), giving you an extensive underground watering system that only has to be filled at a few inlet points.
Community Gardens in Sydney using this system have cut their watering time down from 11 hours a week to just over an hour – a massive 90% reduction in time — as well as a huge savings in water usage.
Trees are essential features of our gardens, helping to create ground stability, shade, homes for our native animals, food for birds, and real estate value – they can be the making of a property.
The WaterUps Tree Reservoir is the essential garden watering system for getting trees off to the best start in life — be you in a suburban block, on acreage or you are a council wanting resilient street trees. Our Tree Reservoir is ideal for those wanting an avenue of trees down the driveway or wanting to use trees in their landscaping. It can even be used in large feature pots next to pools for example.
These are just some of the benefits of using the WaterUps Garden Watering System for your trees:
WaterUps can even be used under lawns to provide a ready supply of moisture – this is of particular benefit to properties that don’t’ get a lot of rainfall or are week-end properties.
The system can be set up to capture water from downpipes, saving you on your water bills, with year-round green lawns. With WaterUps you don’t need to use sprinklers (and waste half the water on non-absorbent surfaces like driveways, paths etc.)
With WaterUps you will benefit from:
