Questions & Answers
This is the first time I've used this dripper, but it's identical to the ones I've been using under the "Mister Landscaper" brand name, and none of them has ever needed to be "cleared" on a regular basis. Setting them under the soil (mine are on the little plastic stakes) or having irrigation water/well water with a lot of trash in it appear to be the only things that would cause them to clog. If necessary or desired, they can be disassembled and cleaned completely.
Only the barb emitter is included in this purchase. We do sell the dripper with stake, but our resupply has been slowed due to COVID 19. If everything goes according to plan, the stakes should be back in stock in about a week. Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this has caused you.
The attached barb is referred to as a "Bonus Barb." br> If you need a barb for the 1/4 inch drip line that comes with the piece in question, you can get one here. br> I find that the extra "Barbs" provided are too weak to use in my drip systems, so I just leave them on the emitter in case of a major "My Kingdom for a hose barb Moment." br> If not, these emitters can be successfully used.
I've never seen a 1/4" tee fit into a 1/2" poly tube before. The couplers that go into the 1/2" poly tube have a flange in the center that prevents them from going too far into the tube, ensuring that the seal around the barb is maintained. I've also never seen a 1/4" "leak line," or whatever it's called. The solution is to use a poly tube coupler, a short piece of 1/4" tubing, a tee in that, and as many tees and drippers as you need to get the desired amount of water where you want it. It's not because I've never seen a 1/4" "leak line" that it doesn't exist. All of the 1/4" fittings can be found at any home improvement store that sells Mr. Landscaper drip irrigation systems.

I discovered that several types of standard 1/4" irrigation tubing didn't work well with the emitter heads (green top with black stake). The heads that come with it are simply too small. They come loose from the 1/4" line, and when I contacted the seller about it, he said he would look into it. They responded by saying, "We've sold a lot of these. " As a result, you shouldn't have any issues. That didn't help much. br>br>I'm not sure what the additional double barb gizmo on the stake is supposed to do. In my experience, one end of a 1/4" item is typical, but the other end, like the attached connecter on the stake model, is too small. br>br>The grass is green. It appears that the black adjustable emitter heads with no stake are working properly.
Barb on a small scale. Is it possible that it's too small? UPDATE (July 29, 2021) - The first drip emitter barb failed once more, and now another on the same circuit has failed as well. I've returned the entire set (at least the 97 they sent me) because I'm not sure they'll stay in place. To be clear, I measured the barb and it is NOT 1/4" as the description suggests. br>br>I've reduced my rating to a single star as a result of these failures and my decision to return. Buyer beware when purchasing this item. br>br>UPDATE (July 19, 2021) - The drip emitter barb on the first attempt was unsuccessful. I've put it back on and it seems to be holding up for the time being. I've taken one star away from the batch and am considering returning it because I'm not sure these barbs will hold up over time. br>br>Original Review is at the bottom of this page. br>br>As a whole, the unit works. The stake is long enough to ensure that the emitter does not move. The problem I'm having with the emitters is that the barb for attaching to 1/4" tubing isn't as large as I've seen on other brands' emitters (i. e. Consider what you'd find at Home Depot or Lowe's. So much so that I was able to simply pull off the emitter. As a result, I award four stars to the emitter. br>br>At this point, they've successfully completed an initial test run as well as the morning water cycle. If they fail, I'll make a new review. If I try to plug them directly into 1/2" tubing after punching a hole with a standard punch tool, I'm beginning to doubt their viability. The 1/2" tubing's pressure regulation to 25 PSI may be the only saving grace. When I've finished and had time to test that setup, I'll update my review. br>br>On a side note, while the Amazon listing claims there are 100 emitters in the package, I only received 97 working stakes and emitters. I'll contact the seller to see what can be done about it. (The seller's error in shorting me product has had no bearing on my overall rating of the emitters. ).
For 1/4 inch tubing, the connector is too narrow. It just pops off. Purchase is not recommended.
When there is too much pressure and the 1/4" is too large, these emitters have a chance of popping off. Rainbird emitters are what I usually use, and I measured the nipple at. 237". These are some of the emitters. 219". Your 1/4" irrigation tubing inside diameter, on the other hand, should be the deciding factor. Raindrip tubing with an ID of is what I have. 117". br>I give them four stars because they meet my needs. Others, on the other hand, might not be so pleased.
Okay, so some people have complained that this doesn't fit 1/4" tubing. With this purchase, I went with random quarter-inch tubing from Amazon, which works fine; however, you should check the inside diameter of your tubing before purchasing it. As far as I could tell, some of the rainbird thin walled drip lines were not working, but that's the kind of nonsense for which you pay a premium. So I guarantee it's not the emitters who sneer; it's the people who buy this product and don't think to double-check what they're getting. br>br>I use Orbit regulators with these and they work great. I only need one for a 5-gallon container, and it's simple to change the flow, which changes the spray pattern. I have up to 100 of these running at any given time, and it's simple to turn a few off or open a few if those specific containers don't require watering. I wouldn't put these on a timer because they will allow a lot of water to flow faster than any timer will allow unless you have a timer that can only run for seconds at a time. I have shut off valves all over so I can adjust pressure as needed and don't let too much water flood the containers at once.
It's working perfectly. I had the droppers that could deliver 2 gallons of water per hour. However, this required an hour of waiting to turn off the water pump, and my flowers were suffering as a result. I'll be able to finish it in five minutes if I use these. Time limit: ten minutes.
These are excellent for spot watering on an irrigation system and are very affordable. However, take care: Keep an eye on the pressure in your water supply. To get the tubing to stick to the sprinkler heads, I needed to use a powerful export.
It secures itself in the potting soil without the use of an additional anchor. It also allows me to control the flow of water, which can range from a drip to a stream.
