Raindrip PC4050B Pressure Compensating Dripper, 50-Pack, Black

We like it a lot better if we don't use these "as we see it" examples. br>br>Used backwards, these are some of our favorite drippers. br>br>We connect the tapered end to the mainline hose and then to the smooth end with a micro tube. This resulted in less strain on our hands, which is common after running a whole garden with the various tapered pieces, as well as the elimination of the need for a separate connector. We place the open end of the micro tube at the base of our plants. br>br> We don't have to cut the micro tube off the dripper if we need to replace it, and it's much easier to place and modify this way.

These drippers came in two packages for me. The first was a return from Amazon, which worked perfectly. You should see a drop every few seconds if you're consuming one gallon per hour. When I received the second set, I knew something wasn't quite right. They all squirt water at each other. I assumed it was a pressure issue because I didn't have a pressure reducer hooked up at the time and they were at the ends of the lines (due to the fact that I worked outwards and had to order more), but the flow was the same after installing a 25psi reducer. With the help of a measuring cup, I was able to figure out that they're emitting anywhere from 3- 4 gallons per hour is the rate of production. In a matter of weeks, a plant could be swamped and root rotted. Never mind that your water bill is going to be significantly higher than you anticipated. The new drippers do not match the old ones, according to my examination. RAIN DRIPPER is written on the front of the genuine drippers, while RAIN DRPPER is written on the front of the defective ones, with the I missing. In addition, the defective ones have a more matte appearance than the genuine ones. The leaky dripper can be seen on the left side of the picture. If they're spraying water when you get them, you can simply reduce the timer to 15 minutes. If you have different flow rate emitters, this could be a problem. 20 minutes instead of an hour to get the same effect water-wise Because I have both good and bad ones, I'm returning this set in exchange for a bag of genuine ones.

I connected about ten of these, and they all have a constant flow rather than a drip. I also have 1GHP drippers from Home Depot on the same irrigation line, and they drip. With this flow, I'm not sure it's rated at 1GPH.

These drippers have a blunter insertion end than previous designs, and they do not fit with the previous applicator (despite the fact that the new applicator has a similar design and color, giving the impression that it will). Because the insertion end of the dripper does not pierce the tubing well, I had to make a hole with an old dripper and then force the new dripper into it. It does the job, but it is inconvenient. In addition, these drippers leak around the hole where the dripper is inserted. It could have been due to my sloppy installation, but the hole I dug was smaller than the newer dripper, so when I forced it in, it should have been snug. I'm dissatisfied on the whole.

I haven't had any leaks as of yet. If you have a thermos of hot water on hand to soak the hose in before trying to force it on, these were too difficult to attach. The issue is that you'd have to soak them again or cut them off if you wanted to remove them. Knowing this prior to making a purchase would have been beneficial. Screw-on and off options are available for a higher price.

80% of these emitters do not emit at all at all at all at all at all at all at The random emitters left over from another project drip, so I know the whole system is working. A few of these have started to leak. Overall, it was a complete waste of time, and I'll have to spend another four hours to replace them.

Many of the drippers in my 1500' of drip lines are over 15 years old, as I've been using them for almost 30 years. They pop something inside every now and then (maybe one or two per year out of the 900 drippers I have [and these could be many years old]) and instead of a drip, I get a stream - They are, however, simple to swap out. I prefer these to another brand I've tried because I can secure a 1/4" drip hose to the end and run the 1/4" line to a plant several feet away from the main 1/2" drip line - The 1/4" line frequently falls off the other brand's end, as the tip appears to be slightly smaller than this brand's, and the 1/4" line does not stay securely attached (though neither brand explicitly states that 1/4" line can be attached to their ends).

A third of them had to be replaced because they had blown out. Because of the positive feedback, I decided to purchase these. And to be honest, I was quite pleased at first. However, after a season of use, about one-third of the people who tried them said they didn't like them. A third of them had to be replaced because they had blown out. I'm connecting them directly to the faucet, with line pressure typically around 40psi, more or less, and instead of dripping, they began running full blast one by one. There haven't been any pressure surges on the line that I'm aware of, but anything could happen. Is it necessary to install a pressure regulator on the line?.
