DerkMR Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) My father is using http://www.gardena.c...water-controls/ since like 20 years without any issue. In Thailand Super Products is the only distributor: Super Products Co. Ltd. 1785-89 Soi Phaholyothin 31 10900 Bangkok Phaholyothin Rd., Jatujak Phone 66-2-5130983 Fax 66-2-5130902 Email [email protected] Bye, Derk Edited December 25, 2012 by DerkMR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacnl2000 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) Few years ago I used following device not for watering all plants in the evening and or during the night but for in hen house lightning: During winter hens will stop laying altogether and this should be looked upon as a rest period. However if you need the eggs and are perhaps selling them, putting a light in the hen house to stimulate longer days can prolong the laying period.

Kered Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I have just installed the Super Products system and eventually managed to find a battery powered controller in Chiang Mai. It is very effective, you can set the watering time and also the time between waterings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcomer01 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Go to global or Hompro. Solenoid operated valves are used for turning on and of the water so any type of Electrical timer (find them at Amorn, Tesco and probably Global) wired in would work. Some may work on 12V so you may need a tranformer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman77 Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 How about the connection type of the pipe what stanards is used in Thailand? Have many pipe must spread to the different sprinkles , what is the right product from the shop? Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rice555 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Hello All, Sandman77 if you go to the "link" in post #2 and and go down the page to the 4th item, it will run 6 solenoid valves. Super Products at one time in the store had irrigation controllers that would run up to 24 valves. There was a Rain Bird store in BKK at one time, they also have 6-24 station controllers, not cheap! rice555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rice555 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Hello All, after posting, I realised it's easier to just go to www.superproducts.co.th and then click on products. Then click on "Valves", L/H side of page. The 3 links you want to look at are, RAIN Valve, NALSON Valve and GARDENA Valve. On the RAIN Valve link, my picture below is like the first GALCON 4/6 station valve controller, mine is from a 8056-AC DGI Corp. in the US, but is the same as Galcon, made in Israel. The 4 or 6 Galcon can run 4/6 valves plus pump, the controller needs to be inside or in a cabinet. Valves can be inside or a valve box in the ground. SP has valve boxes and valve mainfolds and fittings. rice555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David48 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Few years ago I used following device not for watering all plants in the evening and or during the night but for in hen house lightning: During winter hens will stop laying altogether and this should be looked upon as a rest period. However if you need the eggs and are perhaps selling them, putting a light in the hen house to stimulate longer days can prolong the laying period. Must admit I was thinking about something like this recently when the Farm did an Prawn harvest and it rained also over night, hence reducing the available oxygen. We hauled in nets with mostly dead prawns ... worth only half their 'live' value at the markets. Some air pumps, linked to a timer under the nest might have prevented that ... just a thought. .

Khonwan Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 David, thanks for that interesting information on rain depleting oxygen in the water. I did not know that – it seemed counter-intuitive but I found interesting info (for me and perhaps others) here: http://warnell.forestry.uga.edu/service/library/index.php3?docID=183&docHistory[]=1 In your case, David, you would be better connecting your air pump to an electronic rain detector rather than a timer (or perhaps in conjunction with). I don’t know where you would get one but I know they exist and can be made (DIY) very easily by anyone with experience dealing in electronics (not me, unfortunately). I often fail to read topics here that initially seem to hold no interest to me personally then regret doing so later since they often lead to other completely different ideas of interest.

David48 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 The Farm Father emptied the BIG pond this morning (unfortunately I wasn't able to capture the harvest) ... but I was able to capture tonight's meal, that he didn't sell at the market today ...
