Dramm

Dramm watering tools are for gardeners, nursery operators and greenhouse growers tending plants by hand. Hand watering lets you put water where each plant needs it and give a dry root ball extra time to soak. Choose the tool around your reach and the spray your plants need.

Dramm Corporation is based in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. It makes watering tools and horticultural equipment for professional growers and home gardeners. The company reports more than 75 years of making professional watering tools.

Choose for reach and a gentle spray

Dramm’s watering range includes tools and hose. A wand helps you reach across a bench or into a bed, while a nozzle keeps the spray close to your hand for nearby work. Reach matters more than color. Match the hose and tool connections, and check their working-pressure limits before joining them.

Dramm developed its original aluminum Water Breaker nozzle for more efficient greenhouse watering. For seedlings, judge the spray by what it does to the soil. A useful watering pattern wets the growing medium evenly at a flow you can control. If soil moves or seedlings lean under the spray, ease the flow.

With hand watering, the easy mistake is moving on as soon as the surface looks wet. Check moisture below the surface and give a dry root ball time to take up water. If water starts running off, pause and let it soak in.

Match water and chemical savings to the job

For a repeated watering route, Dramm says its drip irrigation reduces overall water and fertilizer use and waste, and its irrigation systems help reduce labor.

For a bed with a fixed planting layout, Dramm says its soaker hose reduces water waste by replacing overhead sprinkling that loses water to evaporation.

For treatment work, Dramm lists sprayers, foggers and foamers and says its chemical application systems reduce the amount of chemical needed; choose the application method around the treatment, target and required coverage.

Dramm says registration validates your warranty and asks for a serial number, purchase date and purchase outlet.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Dramm watering wand used for?

A Dramm watering wand gives you reach when watering by hand. Keep the spray near the growing medium so you can see where the water lands and avoid watering through foliage just to reach the roots.

What does a Dramm Water Breaker nozzle do?

A Dramm Water Breaker spreads the water stream into a gentler shower for watering plants. The original nozzle is aluminum and was developed for greenhouse watering. You still need to control the flow; a gentle pattern can deliver more water than a small pot can absorb.

How does a Dramm soaker hose work?

A Dramm soaker hose lets water seep out along its length, putting it on the soil instead of spraying it overhead. It’s made from recycled tires and rubber. Check how far moisture spreads into your soil before settling on a watering time; wet ground beside the hose doesn’t mean the whole root zone is watered.

Is Dramm just for professional growers?

Dramm makes watering tools for home gardeners as well as professional growers. Its range also includes sprayers, foggers and foamers. For your garden, the useful distinction is how well the watering tool suits the job, rather than whether you’re growing professionally.
