Water Irrigation
Practical irrigation solutions for farms, orchards and horticultural properties
Farms

Effluent & Irrigation provides practical, fit-for-purpose water irrigation solutions for dairy farms, orchards and horticultural properties throughout New Zealand.
From new irrigation systems and extensions to existing infrastructure, through to sprinkler systems for pasture irrigation and frost control, we can help you develop an irrigation solution suited to your property, water source and specific requirements.
We have particular experience with solid set and pole sprinkler systems, but we can assist with a range of irrigation solutions and will recommend an approach based on what best suits your property, application and budget.
Irrigation Systems Designed For Your Property
Every property is different. Our approach is to understand your requirements and develop an irrigation solution that works with your available water, pressure, terrain and property layout.
We can assist with:
• New water irrigation systems
• Solid set and pole sprinkler systems
• Pasture and crop irrigation
• Orchard irrigation
• Frost control sprinkler systems
• Irrigation system extensions and upgrades
• Pump and pipework systems
• Irrigation automation and control
• K-Line and G-Set systems
From initial advice and system layout through to supply and installation, we can provide practical support to help get your irrigation system working reliably.
Solid Set & Pole Sprinkler Systems
Reliable irrigation with minimal labour
With extensive experience in solid set and pole sprinkler systems, we can design and install permanently positioned sprinkler systems for a range of agricultural and horticultural applications.
Solid set systems use permanently installed sprinkler positions to provide consistent water coverage across defined areas

They can be an effective solution where reliable, repeatable irrigation is required without the labour associated with moving portable irrigation equipment.
Solid set and pole sprinkler systems can be used for:
• Dairy pasture
• Cropping and support blocks
• Orchards
• Horticultural properties
• Frost protection
We can design systems around your property layout, water availability and required application rates, with the potential to incorporate automated control and monitoring.
Benefits Of Solid Set Irrigation
• Low labour – permanently installed sprinklers reduce the need to move irrigation equipment
• Reliable coverage – sprinkler positions can be designed to provide consistent application
• Durable infrastructure – quality systems can provide many years of service
• Flexible applications – suitable for irrigation and, where appropriate, frost control
• Automation potential – systems can be integrated with irrigation control and monitoring technology
Frost Control for Orchards
Sprinkler systems for frost protection
Frost can pose a significant risk to horticultural crops, particularly during critical periods of flowering and early fruit development.
We can assist with the design and installation of frost control sprinkler systems for orchards, including applications such as kiwifruit.
A correctly designed overhead sprinkler system can provide frost protection by applying water to the crop during frost events. As the water freezes, heat is released, helping protect vulnerable plant tissue from damaging temperatures.
Frost control systems require careful consideration of factors including water availability, application rate, sprinkler selection, system capacity and coverage. We can help assess your property and develop a system suited to your requirements.

K-Line & G-Set Irrigation
Flexible irrigation solutions
As a dealer for Rx Plastics, we can supply and install K-Line and G-Set irrigation systems.
These systems provide flexible irrigation options for a range of agricultural and horticultural applications and can be considered where a permanently installed solid set system isn't the most appropriate solution.
We can help you determine whether solid set, K-Line, G-Set or another irrigation approach is best suited to your property and irrigation requirements. Explore K-Line & G-Set irrigation
Smart Irrigation & Control
Better control of your irrigation system
We are familiar with and can install Water Insights irrigation control systems, providing farmers and
growers with greater control and visibility over their irrigation systems.
Water Insights technology can help automate irrigation, monitor system operation and provide information
to support more informed irrigation management.
These systems can work particularly well alongside permanently installed irrigation infrastructure, but
irrigation control and automation can also be considered as part of a range of different irrigation system
designs.
More Than Just a Sprinkler System
Irrigation solutions based on what your property needs
There is no single irrigation system that suits every farm, orchard or horticultural property.
Our role is to help identify the most appropriate solution for your particular situation. Depending on your requirements, this could include solid set sprinklers, pole sprinklers, K-Line, G-Set or another irrigation configuration.
We consider factors such as:
-
Water source and availability
-
Required flow and pressure
-
Property size and layout
-
Topography
-
Soil and crop requirements
-
Labour requirements
-
Future expansion
-
Automation and control
-
Budget and long-term operating cost
Our experience with different irrigation systems allows us to focus on finding a solution that is practical and
fit for purpose, rather than simply supplying a particular product.
