Latest EGI News

Hello fellow gardeners. We have great news today. Claber has released the much anticipated Aqua-Magic system. Designed to offer convenient drip irrigation to remote areas in the garden with the use of a solar powered pump. The Aqua-Magic irrigation system works with any existing water butts or containers without the need to connect to an electrical supply or mains water supply. Claber has also made an easy to assemble water tank to accompany the Aqua-Magic system.

This year has seen some great new products launched from the likes of Hozelock, Rain Bird and Claber. Claber recently launched the Hydro 4 Solenoid Valve Box, something we wrote about here, and Hozelock updated their range of automatic watering kits. Hozelock isn't the only manufacturer to have released something new in the drip irrigation space. Claber has now released two new kits to extend their range of drip irrigation systems. Each kit has been designed for specific areas in the garden, rather than being a general, all-purpose kit. They both retail for roughly the same price and have a huge parts list making them good value for money. They promise to be comprehensive starter kits that can feed up to 60 plants, but will they live up to our high expectations? Let's find out.

[Update: 18.03.2015] The New Claber Hydro 4 Solenoid Valve Box is now in stock.

Today we met up with Claber sales rep Ian to discuss their latest products and for a general catch up over a tasty bacon sandwich and a cup of coffee in the cafe just around the corner from our warehouse. Sat down in the marina cafe, we had our usual chit chat, "How's business?", "Are you planning any holidays this year?" etc. etc. Soon enough we got to the nitty gritty of our meeting to discuss the much anticipated Claber Hydro 4.
