The Basic Unit 1000 from Gardena is the starting module of the Gardena Micro-Drip System. It reliably reduces the water pressure coming from the pipe to about 1.5 bar. The base unit feeds the water so that all drippers, pipes and spray nozzles connected to the Gardena Micro-Drip system can be used optimally. Thanks to a water flow of about 1000 litres per hour, the system connector enables ideal watering. The integrated filter for pre-filtering the water prevents dirt particles from entering the Micro-Drip system. It can be removed for easy cleaning if necessary. The basic unit 1000 is equipped with a connection piece and an adapter. Due to the connection possibility for the 4.6 mm (3/16") distribution pipe as well as for the 13 mm (1/2") laying pipe, it can be used flexibly. The patented Quick & Easy connection technology ensures that all components can be effortlessly connected, flexibly extended and disconnected again. To store the Basic Unit 1000 at the end of the gardening season or when frost is imminent, it is disassembled from the system in just a few steps. The Gardena quality product is Made in Europe.
