Drip emitters attach to standard irrigation (black) poly pipe and apply a consistent amount of water to your garden plants. 2, 4 or 8 litre per hour heads are available. Drip emitters are effective for watering small garden areas, pots or areas where emitter spacings of greater than 30cm is required. At the very least, one emitter is required at the base of each plant, and can be installed straight into the main irrigation pipe, or extended away from the pipe using 4mm black tube.

Weeping hoses:

Weeping hoses are made of black recycled tyre rubber and can be attached to a fixed watering system or an ordinary garden hose. Rather than having drip emitters, water soaks through the walls of the weeping hose. As with integrated drip lines, weeping hoses can be laid above or below the soil or in a layer of mulch.

Pressure regulators:

Pressure regulators are required for all of the above drip irrigation systems to ensure reliable and effective use, and prevent blowouts or pipe damage. Drip irrigation emits water far more slowly than traditional spray systems, and runs best at pressure levels that are far lower than standard mains pressure. Pressure regulators will reduce operating pressure to 12, 25 or 30 psi depending on the particular pressure regulator installed and the type and length of drip irrigation used.
