Water Tube
 
Water Tube™ is a machine-blown polyethylene tube welded to form ribs creating a robust sealed
tubular unit that can contain over 20 litres of water. Installed around a small tree or plant in
much the same way as a basic tree guard, Water Tube™ is held in place by three wooden stakes.
The tree is thus protected by a tough and resilient structure that resists the elements and
animal pests.
The water from Water Tube™ is distributed to the tree or plant via a specially made coil dripper
which ensures the plant is continuously provided with water over a period of approximately
16 days.
The Water Tube™ is then refilled after 30 days.
   
A Complete Solution
Water Tube™ creates an entire protective microclimate that maximises the young tree’s growing
chances. While filled with water, the Water Tube™ offsets variation in climatic conditions:
it warms the interior when the atmosphere is cold and maintains cooler temperatures
in fierce direct sunshine with an ultraviolet resistant outer jacket. Water Tube™ ensures higher
survival rates, reducing planting and cultivation costs and increasing yield. Water Tube TM is
available in a larger flat form for established trees – known as the Tree Well™.

Water Tube™ Saves Water
• Unique, patented design, composition and construction
• The Water Tube™ holds 22 litres of water and
distributes this to the plant via a special coil dripper
• The plant receives 20 litres from this water reservoir
over about 16 days
• It should only be refilled once every 30 days
Water Tube™ Saves Plants
• 12 months supervised trials by the Environmental
Horticulture Group, School of Agriculture, at Charles
Sturt University, Wagga Wagga, Australia, proved that
the Water Tube™ ensured the survival and accelerated
growth of trees.
“the results obtained are particularly impressive
evidence that the use of Water Tube™ has clearly
enhanced the survival and growth (measured as
increase in height) of the seedlings used in this
experiment.”
Water Tube™ Saves Time
• Normally only requires a recommended monthly re-fill
of 20 litres. This pattern can be varied when indicated
by extreme climatic conditions.
Water Tube™ Saves Money
• Maintenance cycles or schedules can be reduced
by 75% as the Water Tube™ needs re-filling once a
month, as opposed to normal weekly watering
schedules
• An alternative view is that yield can be
increased by 300% due to this cycle
• It is faster, easier and LESS COSTLY to fill the
Water Tube™ than it is to provide reticulated irrigation,
volume spraying or to undertake manual watering
