What is an overflow pipe and why is it indispensable?
The overflow pipe is specially designed for those looking for an efficient solution to optimize the watering of plants. It prevents your plants from getting their feet too wet and automatically regulates the correct moisture content in the planter. Thanks to the built-in water buffer of 5 cm, the plants always have access to sufficient water, without being in an overly wet environment. Ideal for busy garden enthusiasts and anyone who values convenience and healthy plants.
For whom is the overflow pipe suitable?
Whether you are an experienced gardener or are just starting to decorate your balcony, terrace or garden – this overflow pipe is an indispensable tool when working with planters made of aluminium, hardwood or polyester. It offers a solution for those:
- Don't have the time or inclination to check the moisture of the soil every day.
- Is away regularly and cannot water plants every time.
- Wants to prevent plants from suffering from root rot due to too much water.
- Looking for a sustainable solution for a healthy and stable growing environment in the planter.
How does the overflow pipe work?
The principle is simple but effective: the overflow pipe provides a constant water buffer of 5 cm at the bottom of the planter. Rainwater or excess irrigation water is neatly drained as soon as the water level rises above this limit. This never creates a soil that is too wet, which is crucial for many plant species. At the same time, the water buffer ensures that your plants have access to sufficient moisture in dry periods, without having to water daily.
Easy installation in three steps
1. Check the opening in the planter
Most aluminum, hardwood and polyester planters are already equipped with an opening into which the overflow pipe fits directly. Is there no hole yet? No problem! You can easily make an opening yourself in the desired location.
2. Attach the pipe at the correct height
Simply turn the pipe into the opening to the desired height. The standard water buffer is 5 cm, which is ideal for most plantings.
3. Check and enjoy healthy plants
After installation, you hardly have to worry about the water level. The overflow pipe does its job and ensures an optimal water balance in the planter.
Important points to note
