Applications
- Delivers water along the entire line to keep the soil moist and hydrate the plants' root zones
- Ideal for watering closely spaced plants, hedges, vegetable gardens, planter boxes, and new plantings of ground cover; its flexibility also works as a watering ring for large pots and containers, and makes loops around large trees
- As part of a complete drip irrigation system, the dripline delivers water along the entire line; with non-pressure compensating emitters, expect varying water flow based on length of tubing or elevation, with higher flow closer to the water source
Installation & Maintenance
- Use a micro fitting to connect sections together or attach a section to the supply line to create a feeder line
- Periodically check for leaks or damage and replace or repair as needed; recommended operating pressure is up to 50 PSI; for areas with freezing temperatures, winterize by using an air compressor to evacuate lines with air to remove water
Materials & Sustainability
- Tubing made of polyethylene
- Emitters made of polyethylene and silicone
- Made of domestic and imported materials
- Drip irrigation can reduce water usage by up to 70% compared to conventional sprinkler irrigation when used properly; for most drip irrigation products, water is applied precisely and at the rate the soil can accept it to prevent runoff and erosion
