Here are the basics--all you need to know to design and build your own drip irrigation system. Just follow these four easy steps: 1. Start the system with a timer (not absolutely necessary; but very helpful. How many times have you forgotten to turn off at the appropriate time something you have turned on?), Choose from our selection of manual or fully automatic timers. Next choose a pressure regulator. Drip systems require low pressure to function best. If you use T-tapes in your system you'll definitely need a 12 psi regulator. Most other drip emitters function well between 30-40 psi. If you intend to use sprayers, then you'll likely want a 40 psi regulator. Finally, make sure you connect a water filter to protect the emitters from getting clogged. Even city water is likely to contain small particles which can effect emitter function. Cistern or pond water sources will require a more substantial "Y" filter.
2. Run mainline tubing (either 1/2" with capacity of handling 240 gallons per hour, or 3/4" with 480 gph capacity) from the water filter outlet to deliver water to your garden or landscape beds. Choose the appropriate fittings to connect the mainline tubing to the filter. Smaller 1/4" line (micro tubing) can be used to snake through a garden bed or to deliver water to an isolated shrub or tree. 3. Choose either individual emitters which can be inserted into mainline tubing (be sure to order an emitter punch tool for this purpose) or mini-tubing; or, select the much more popular and easier to use, in-line emitter tubing (the emitters are already built into the tubing spaced at various intervals from 6" up to 48"). Emitter tubing is available in 1/2" line or 1/4" line. If you're irrigating a garden with a series of straight rows (as in vegetable gardens) drip tape (T-tape) is the logical choice. We recommend the 15 mil. thickness tape for most situations, as this is the most sturdy, but 6. 8 and 10 mil. tape is also available for use in certain situations. 4. Select the needed fittings to begin or end lines, to create right angles or split lines, to connect tubing to emitter tubing, to shut off lines (valves). T-tape has its own fittings providing similar functions. Where applicable (ie: on water filter to pressure regulator) double-check the parts you have ordered to insure the threads are compatible (hose thread vs. pipe thread).
That's all there is to it! If you have any questions about products or design, please contact us. We're always open to assisting you by answering your questions about drip irrigation.
