Neptune Underground Irrigation™ System
I get more requests from villa owners about automatic irrigation systems than anything else. Most brown patches in lawns can be attributed to the wrong grass, the owner, the gardener or the irrigation system not working properly. See our "New from America"...

Have you ever wondered how Palm Trees survive in the desert, well here is why?
Think about how much water you need to
penetrate just 6" of soil. Well with this system you can
deliver water immediately to that depth (i.e. where the grass
roots are) without any evaporation losses.
Initially designed and developed by our American subsidiary, this system for watering lawns and gardens revolutionises the way that you deliver water to the roots of plants in your garden. And because its underground there is no water loss because ALL the water reaches the roots. And if you have leaks in the system - no problem.
Conventional irrigation systems are inefficient, waste full and costly in water bills.
The problems with all sprinkler and drip feed systems are:
They invariably don't cover the area you need watered.
They rely on constant water pressure.
How long to water a lawn, depends on pipe diameter, water pressure and how deep you want to water.
When they get clogged they stop working.
They deliver water to the surface of the soil which then evaporates.
And with drip systems, most of the water that drips onto the soil quickly evaporates.
The Reason Neptune is so unique.. |
Neptunes capillary action operates irrespective of the water pressure. |
So if the water pressure changes, the capillary action still keeps working, guaranteeing even distribution of water. |
This means that the Neptune Irrigation System is completely
independent of water pressure. In fact it can be run from a rainwater butt. |
How it Works
Capillary action is a powerful force in nature. It's what brings water from the roots of a plant to it leaves.
We harness this action in the Neptune system. So now, water pressure is only used to inflate the backbone irrigation pipes and not to distribute the water. As soon as the water reaches our radials, the capillary action takes over to distribute the water to the soil. And because it's capillary action, the entire surface of the radial becomes the water source for the roots of the plants.
Benefits:
No sprinklers, no jets, no drip feed.
No more soggy lawns.
No more fungus problems
Reduces weed problems
No more water pressure problems.
Saves up to
60% water compared with conventional spray or drip irrigation systems.
(Dependent on soil composition)
Easily water sloping lawns or lawns on slopes with no runoff problems.
Can be installed in multiple zones
No moving parts so more reliable.
No more dry patches where sprinklers haven't covered.
No more brown dead grass areas of lawn due to uneven water distribution.
Leaks are no longer important to the operation of the system
No more setting water jets
A lush green lawn that is usable and dry on the surface all the time.
Every drop of water reaches the roots, so water at any time of day or night to suit you.
Never worry about watering deep - the water is always delivered to the roots.
Lawn fertiliser (slow release or liquid) can be introduced to fertilise your lawn at the same time.
Insecticide can easily be introduced to kill lawn bugs at specific times of the year.
So if you are designing a new lawn*, then it's a little like under floor heating - put Neptune in first, and then lay your soil and or grass.
If you already have an existing lawn and want to benefit from "Neptune Underground Irrigation" then contact us.
We supply in Kit form so its easy to fit into an existing or new lawn.
Because the Neptune Underground Irrigation™ system is like a bespoke suit, we design the irrigation system to fit your lawn, and as such prices per M2 vary. However approximate costs are between 15 - 18 euros per M2
