The Basic Unit 2000 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 to make the best use of all the drippers and nozzles connected to the GARDENA Micro-Drip System. With a water flow of about 2000 liters per hour, it is an ideal option for irrigation. The system connector has a large-volume integrated filter that prevents dirt particles from entering the Micro-Drip system. It is removable for easy cleaning and can be treated with a household descaler if necessary. The 2000 base unit, equipped with connector and adapter, is flexible in use due to the connection option for the 4.6 mm (316") distribution pipe and the 13 mm (12") laying pipe. The patented Quick & Easy connection technology ensures that all components can be effortlessly connected, flexibly extended and disconnected. At the end of the gardening season or if there is a risk of frost, the starter unit can be disassembled from the system in just a few simple steps for frost-proof storage. The Basic Unit 2000 by GARDENA is a quality product Made in Europe.
