The best garden sprinklers in the UK 2023

For a colorful lawn, choosing the right sprinkler is important. The price varies according to the shape and the surface covered. For a reliable and efficient tool, it is advisable to get the right information. To save time, we have compiled a ranking of the best garden waterers for you.

Kupton 1
8/10

Best value for money

Kupton

The best garden sprinkler in 2021

Dependent on water pressure for its performance, the Kupton works even when water pressure is low. The 360° rotation optimizes the watered surface.

See price

The Kupton 3 arm 360° sprinkler will be perfect as a complement to an automatic sprinkler. It will allow you to reach corners such as the bottom of the garden or others. Covering a large surface, this 2-inlet sprinkler can also be used alone.

On paper, the manufacturer states that the maximum area watered is 3,600 square feet, the equivalent of 330-340 m². But to do that, you'd need a huge amount of water pressure coming out of the faucet. For city water, without pressure reduction, the pressure averages 4 or 5 bars for a watered area of more or less 15 m².

Despite all this, we love this watering system, which is easy to set up and efficient even at low pressure. It is delivered with all the necessary accessories for the installation. Once the installation is done, you just have to connect the hose and adjust it according to the plot.

Idesion 2
7/10

Best value for money

Idesion

The best entry-level garden sprinkler

The Idesion copies the ingredients that made the Kupton successful. And despite a certain fragility, it does quite well.

See price

The Idesion doesn't just copy the Kupton. This 360° rotating garden sprinkler with 3 arms really works. For watering or irrigating a small vegetable garden, it will do the trick. Of course, you'll need enough pressure to get a good watering area. Otherwise, this model waters within a 3 m radius.

For the price, don't expect something super robust. The material used is basic, so it remains to be seen whether it will withstand the elements. Nevertheless, the Idesion is very well suited for occasional use. For the assembly, we deplore the absence of instructions, especially to know where to place the gasket provided.

GRÜNTEK Primavera 3
8/10

A great choice

GRÜNTEK Primavera

A great value

The GRÜNTEK Primavera is suitable for small and medium-sized areas. The orientation of the sprinkler head is done by hand.

See price

The GRÜNTEK Primavera oscillating sprinkler is equipped with a motor for spraying. Ideal for lawns and turf, this equipment is very light. In addition, it takes up little space. Installation and adjustments are simple. Several watering options are available to help you find the one that suits you best.

Please note that the sprinkler head does not rotate automatically, contrary to what the product description and photos claim. It must be manually oriented towards the direction to be watered. And the maximum distance reached depends on the water pressure. However, this functional and inexpensive model deserves its place in this ranking.

Oasis Ahead K-200 4
7/10

Very good

Oasis Ahead K-200

Our top pick

The Oasis Ahead K-200 is an excellent sprinkler. It is easy to install and stable, but lacks sturdiness.

See price

Here is a very interesting 360° sprinkler. The Oasis Ahead K-200 is equipped with a pulsating nozzle. This allows it to cover an area of between 300 and 500 square meters when the pressure is high. Of course, the area covered tends to decrease as the pressure decreases. A shut-off valve allows the water supply to be turned off or on. There is even an extra nozzle head in the package.

The metal-weighted base of the Oasis Ahead K-200 gives it great stability, despite movement and a certain fragility. In addition, the base has a connecting cord that allows multiple sprinklers of the same type to be linked together to cover a larger area.

Tips

Opt for watering in the morning.

Use large, sturdy climbing carabiners on your handlebars so that you can free your hands while moving. That way, you'll always have control of the stroller. For bulkier travel bags, try to find porters to help you move them (e.g., while transferring from terminal to cab).

Take it easy on the young grass shoots.

For

newly planted grass seeds, keep the top layer of soil moist, but not soggy. So don't set your sprinkler to full power and only for a fairly short time when scheduling your watering cycles.

Soak the soil to a depth of 15cm.

Water

long enough to moisten the soil to about 6 inches deep, which is the depth of a healthy root

.

Water once or twice a week.

Frequent, light watering can lead to fungus and a shallow root system. So program your sprinkler to make fewer waterings, which will help soak the soil deeper. The roots will then grow deeper.

Check the floor.

To

know how long it will take to soak the soil, check every 15 minutes on your first watering with a screwdriver to see how deep the water has penetrated

.
