kiwitezza Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I am building a new house in Saraphi this year. At the moment I am based in Phuket, because of work, and I plan to spend 10 days per month in lovely Chiangmai. Because of that I will need a garden sprinkler system with a timer so my new garden and grass get plenty of water. The land area of the garden and grass is just under 500 square metres. Where will I be able to buy a fairly reliable system in Chiangmai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THAIJAMES Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Global sells all the parts, been using for 6 years without a problem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masuk Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 At Home Pro on Hang Dong Rd, there is a section which sells irrigation gear. I bought all the materials needed to set up drip irrigation for the countless pot plants that came with the house. You're probably looking for pop-up sprinklers that allows you to mow the lawn without beheading the sprinklers, and not sure if Home Pro have these. At least it's a start for your search. have a look at this link, as Rainbird were the makers of the kit I bought. They have lawn watering systems. http://www.shriro.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=128%3Ashriro-medical-ltd&catid=78%3Atechnical&Itemid=115〈=en 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MESmith Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Global sell the pop ups & maybe the timers. But you have to buy the stuff & DIY. Kamtieng market suppliers will install, but probably cost you an arm and a leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean1953 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Kamtien Markwt will charge an arm and a leg. In my case, they also screwed up the installation and 4 of the 16 rotor sprinklers leaked enough to cause flood an area 8 feet from sprinkler. They didn't offer to fix it. I ended up having Hunter sprinklers sent from U.S. And had my thai daughter translate the instructions for installation. A local plumber did the installation correctly for 1,000 baht. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaptainrob Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Tezza, get a local gardener/landscaper to install ... and maintain! In BWT we have 2 guys who can do it but local Saraphi lawn man best bet for you. Kampthieng market turf supplies can als do but prolly rip off price for a simple job. Sometimes easier to install after turf and gardens established: lay it out on top and install all parts, get someone to dig trench and bury it!

SantiSuk Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Can confirm Global sell a basic timer for about 1,200 baht, or at least they do here in Isaan. I know because annoyingly my local electrician in Sisaket said there were no timers available retail in Sisaket or Ubon provinces. I ordered a couple online in Thailand for the fish pond pump and driveway lights at the (now known rip-off) price of 2,200 baht only to find the cheaper timers available at the newly opened Ubon Global one week later. Global have a good range of pop-ups and generally their irrigation selection is streets ahead of the other big 3 watsadu chains. Try out the pop-ups first though - there seem to be a couple of different styles even though they both come under the Saku (?) brand: I bought a couple as spares for my system and found that one of the styles is ok and one is cr@p (sort of just wees out the edges, even after fiddling with the adjustment screws). Not expensive at about 75 to 90 baht a piece depending on length. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HullyGully Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I recetly installed a sprinkler system, looked around for someone to instal, but the guy who I met and talked too was not really interested In the end I bought Rainbird Control Unit, Rainbird pop ups and solenoids for the UK I thought generally the quality here in Chiang Mai was not that good I also purchased a Grundfos Pump and the main runs of the system are 1 pvc piping with 1 x 1/2 in for the pop ups You need to figure out how many zone,s you will have, water pressure and volume, in general you need min 3 bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
