CS flow reduction – Protection for your irrigation hose
Prevent damage caused by excessive water flow.
The CS flow reduction ensures that your CS soaker hose is not damaged by excessive water flow. It regulates water flow and protects the CS soaker hose from overpressure, which could affect the hose's membrane and structure.
Why is flow reduction important?
The CS soaker hose requires a specific pressure (around 0.5 bar) to function effectively. However, typical water connections often have higher pressures of 3.5 to 4.5 bar, which can damage the hose. Flow reducers help lower the water pressure and ensure even irrigation.
Benefits of flow reduction
Benefits | Description |
---|---|
Prevents damage | Protects the CS soaker hose from damage and cracks. |
Even water delivery | Ensures uniform irrigation along the entire hose length. |
Easy installation | Quickly and easily integrates into the existing system. |
When is a flow reduction needed?
For a CS soaker hose length of up to 30 meters, we recommend using a flow reduction. It ensures that the CS soaker hose fills slowly with water before it starts to seep, preventing uneven irrigation.
Combination with pressure reducer
For longer irrigation runs of more than 30 meters, we also recommend using a pressure reducer. This reduces the water pressure to the optimal operating pressure of the CS soaker hose and ensures uniform irrigation throughout the system. For soaker hose lengths over 50 meters, a flow reduction should be avoided, and only the pressure reducer should be used, as otherwise too little water will enter the hose, leading to uneven irrigation.

Tips for optimal use
- Use the flow reduction for irrigation runs up to 30 meters to achieve even results.
- Combine the flow reduction with a pressure reducer for longer runs.
- Regularly check the condition of the reducer to ensure optimal performance.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I install a flow reducer?
Installation is simple: screw the flow reducer onto the end of the irrigation hose or directly to the water source. Make sure to secure the connection tightly to avoid leaks.
Can I add the flow reducer later?
Yes, the flow reducer can be added to an existing irrigation system at any time.
Is it useful to combine it with a pressure reducer?
Yes, especially for long hose runs, combining it with a pressure reducer is recommended. Pressure reducer recommended to ensure optimal water pressure.
