Enjoy every inch of summer – with the Aqua S oscillating sprinkler from Gardena. The sprinkler ensures that your lawn and plants are evenly and precisely watered without forming puddles in the process. The Aqua S is designed for areas of 90 to 220 square metres and can be set up in the blink of an eye. Just place it on the lawn and set the range anywhere between 7 and 17 metres using the slider. The maximum spray width of the Aqua S is 13 metres. Once the hose is connected, you can turn on the water and your plants will be reliably watered. It’s not just good for the plants, it also allows you to spend more time on other things. The durable material with metal components ensures that the sprinkler remains firmly on the ground. It is also worth noting that the Aqua S is protected against frost as well as UV radiation, meaning that it doesn’t always need to be removed from the lawn after use. Cleaning the Aqua S is as simple as setting it up. The water connection has a built-in metal filter, which can be taken out very easily by rotating the connection. Then, just hold it under running water to clean it off. If lime builds up on the nozzles, use the needle provided, which is located under a screw cap on the unit so it is always to hand. The Aqua S is made in Germany and comes backed by a 5 year guarantee.
