Tips & Tricks

Fix Little Holes With a Goof Plug

Doubles as a 1/4" end plug

If you make a mistake and poke a hole in the wrong place on a drip line, insert a goof plug (small barb). If the hole gets worn and leaks a little, pull the plug out and use the large barbed end. Goof plus are also used to plug the end of 1/4" micro tubing.

Threaded End Caps Make Winterizing Easy

Unscrew cap to flush or drain drip tubing

Install them now and thank yourself later. A threaded cap at the end of the drip line allows you to flush the line to clean it and drain the line of water before freezing winter temperatures set in. Learn more about winterizing your irrigation system.

FAQ

How do I hook a drip system up to the water supply?

Our Connecting to the Water Source tutorial will outline all the components needed to set up a hose bibb connection or connect to the main water supply.

How do I choose a pressure regulator?

Drip irrigation systems are designed to operate between 20 and 30 psi. Most household water systems are set between 50-70 psi (or higher). A pressure regulator is required to reduce the household water pressure down to the proper range for drip systems. When choosing between a 20 psi and 30 psi regulator, here are some guidelines:

• Non pressure-compensating emitters:  Use 20 psi regulator.
• Fogger mister bubblers: Use a 45 psi regulator.
• Hanging Baskets: Use a 30 psi regulator
• Drip Tape: Use a 10 psi regulator

When using micro sprays and bubblers be sure to consult the water output charts for each product as flow rates very with pressure. For more details, read our tutorial: How to Choose a Drip Regulator. 

Is a filter required?

While a filter is not required, it is highly recommended. Even the cleanest water has small particles in it that can clog drip emitters. Micro sprays are especially susceptible to clogging as the orifices in micro spray components are especially small. Debris can enter a municipal water supply if a mainline breaks or when there is new construction in the area. Well or lake water should always be filtered. Without a filter, you may need to manually take apart emitters to clean them and remove debris that would have been caught by an inexpensive filter. Compare and buy filters.

Ball Valve

A simple control or shut-off valve containing a rotating ball, with a hole in the middle of it, that controls the flow of water . When the valve is open, the hole is aligned with the flow of water. When the valve is closed (or rotated toward the closed position), the hole is rotated out of open alignment and the water flow is restricted or completely shut off.
