Product Description
The Deluxe Gravity Feed Drip Irrigation Kit contains everything you need to control water flow to up to 30 independent points. Each point is independently controlled with a 1/4" manual valve. This kit will operate from any water reservoir where a siphon can be created. ie, the water source must be higher than the highest point you intend to water. As long as a siphon can be created and maintained, this kit will continue to deliver water at the set levels you choose for each watering point. Unlike traditional drip irrigation kits that have preset GPH ratings, this kit has infinite flexibly at the cost of exactness. To set the drip speed for this kit you "eye-ball" the drip rate at each point and make adjustments as needed. This kit comes complete with everything you need to hook up to any standard water faucet or hose end. The tubing can be cut with simple scissors or utility knife.
You can also use any non-pressure compensating drip emitter (button or flag) with this system with the understanding that the output of emitters will vary according to the pressure created by your siphon. Elevation changes in tubing can affect performance. Many people use a combination of drip emitters as well as valves for more flexibility and less manual adjustment time. If drip emitters are used, a filter should be installed at the head of the system. Flag drippers can be disassembled and cleaned so they are a good choice if you have dirty water. Microsprinklers and spray jets will not work with this system.
