Save time, conserve water, and keep your plants thriving—even in the peak of summer.
Malta’s hot, dry summers can be tough on gardens, especially if you’re busy or away from home. That’s where an automated irrigation system comes in. With just a little setup, you can ensure your plants get the right amount of water—without lifting a hose.
At Sherries Estates, we stock trusted brands like Claber, Kinzo and Hozelock, offering everything you need to build a system that suits your space, whether it’s a balcony, rooftop, or full garden.

✅ Customizable to your garden’s layout and plant needs
🛠️ What You’ll Need
You can find all of these at Sherries Estates:
- Timer/Controller
- Main hose or tubing
- Drippers, micro-sprayers, or soaker hoses
- Connectors and stakes
- Tap connector and pressure reducer (if needed)
Step-by-Step: Setting Up Your System
1. Plan Your Layout
Sketch your garden or balcony and mark where each plant or pot is. Decide which areas need more or less water.
2. Choose Your Watering Method
- Drippers – Ideal for pots and individual plants.
- Micro-sprayers – Great for flower beds or vegetable patches.
- Soaker hoses – Best for rows of plants or hedges.
3. Install the Main Line
Connect your hose or tubing to the outdoor tap using a tap connector. Lay it out along your planned route.
4. Add Emitters
Use a hole punch to insert drippers or sprayers into the tubing. Secure them with stakes to keep them in place.
5. Connect the Timer
Attach a Claber or Hozelock timer to your tap. Set your watering schedule—early morning or evening is best to reduce evaporation.
6. Test & Adjust
Turn on the system and check for leaks or blockages. Adjust the flow rate or emitter placement as needed.
