Fast shipping, excellant product

Fast shipping

Great unit for 9V operation. Menu requires several programming steps when four stations used, which gets a bit tediuos. Wish it had four separate on-off buttons for manual control.

Great communication and very fast shipping

pops off of tape too easily though we have regulator of max 25 psi.

Pops off too easily when water is turned on. Specs say Recommended pressure: Up to 30 PSI . We have a 25 psi max regulator.

The tape works well and of the 300 feet we have laid only two emitters did not work initially (the plastic still covered the emitter and we had to cut it off.) Best to leave it laying rather than take it up each season. Worst part are the fittings for the tape. None hold absolutely securely.

Works good. No arrow on unit to indicate flow direction.

If it wasn’t for this regulator I’d keep blowing off my emitters every time my controller kicked in unless I constantly adjusted the outside water valve! Truly, a God Send! “MAN, WHAT A DIFFERNCE”. A must have for anyone running off of regular house water pressure.

Good positive valve, easy to turn.

I use these to control a water feature with multiple outlets. First rate. This is my 2nd order. 3 1/2 days from order to mailbox. Excellent service

No problem with these valves at all. They allowed me to isolate multiple lines and enable me to deliver the correct amount of water and nutrients to each row of crops. Well made and durable.

Great mister for the price. I have them set every 9 inches on wire shelves, suspended 1 foot high. Great coverage... but they do drip a lot when the pressure is gone... I would recommend drip-less for seedlings unless you want to take the time to space the pots around the drip path.

This is the easiest part of installation. It's amazing how easily this tubing fits into the friction-fit connectors and makes a good seal without threads or glue. Be sure the OD (.620 or .700) matches your fittings. I find it easiest to layout the main line in the sun so it softens and is easier to layout or connect. I also like to use the self-draining valves at the end of the run (they open under 7 PSI and drain after each watering cycle). After 4 years, I've had no issues with this hose or fittings. Great stuff.

Excellent tubing. I've layed 2,500' so far. Recommended. (HINT: If you are ordering more than 500' buy in 500' rolls, rather than 1000' rolls. It's easier to handle and shipping rate is better.)

Consistently, these are my 'go-to' sprayers. The 90 deg. ones are fine for small corners. The 360 deg. ones deliver circular patterns that don't cover as well and so there are usually gaps between circles. The 180 deg. sprayers are perfect. If you line them along the edging, facing the bed, you can really control how and where you water and still keep your pathways dry. The picture is a 360 deg. The 180 deg. doesn't have the fine holes that clog easily - just a slit and a deflector.

works great, but can foul on occassion. They need to be inspected on a regular basis to ensure they remain clean and functional.

TO WHOM IT CONCERNS:

I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY THE POST OFFICE THAT THE INCORRECT BOX OF "REGIONAL RATE BOX A" WAS USED RATHER THAN A REGULAR "PRIORITY" BOX. THIS ADDED A COST TO ME OF $5.81 BEFORE I COULD PICK UP THE BOX AT THE POST OFFICE.
I WOULD LIKE ASSURANCES THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN WITH FUTURE ORDERS, AND A CHECK OF $5.81.
THANK YOU,

I purchased one of these two years ago.

When I went to replace the battery for the second season I found the battery connector corroded so that it could not be used. I replaced the connector and it functioned ok the second season.

When I went to replace the battery for this season (3rd year) i found the inside of the unit very badly corroded and it is completely non-functional.

Lesson: This unit works fine but must be kept out of the weather!

180-degree watering area changes with adjustment. Buy the 360-degree. Also includes 1/4" piercing barb for poly line connection, just add tubing.

Consider using SF001 instead, easier to work with.

Easier to use if you clear the plug from the punch after each hole. Use a stiff wire or nail attached to wood dowel, press plug out from rear of cutter so not to damage or dull cutting edge.

Okay but not something you want to use if punching 100 connections a day.

Good 9V valve. Still worked after severe winter (drains when mounted vertically) of ice and snow.

Used it to irrigate down all the rows in the garden, two raised beds and the wife's flower garden. Works great, fast order processing and shipment!!

Thanks

the casting split while under 60psi. could be the only one that is bad, or it could be endemic - can't tell.

Thread tolerances on these fittings are poor. Out of the 22 ordered, 6 could not be tightened properly. The threads let loose when tightening by hand. Had to reorder and spend another $40. Poor quality.

These guys are real winners, too. We use them in all garden / flower beds, and adjust individual heads to meet the specific location need.

We highly recommend these guys!!

I use no other product than this one. I have never had one fail, and I have used 100's. As a matter of fact, I am here to order more.

Good product, but a pain to install - literally in the hand if you do many. Tees are worse!

Great unit, except for a huge design flaw: the plastic sleeve/swivel that carries the female hose adapter is extremely fragile. If you attach it to something rigid (like a faucet) and put any side pressure on it (like while connecting anything to the outflow end) the sleeve cracks and then the controller is completely useless. It broke immediately upon installation. I'm returning it and replacing with a C000 model, which looks like it has more robust options for connection.

I have 4 of these timers some as old as 4 years. I have not had any trouble with them they are great. Dig is such a great company they carry parts for all their hose end timers and as a consumer you can order direct from them. Dig.com or search for Dig. I have a old one from them that is at least 10 years old and I was able to get parts for it. I have done the research and you cannot find a hose end controller from another company that is in the same ball game. If you need a hose end timer look no further......

I have had one of these for at least 5 years and only this year did I have to apply some contact cleaner and replace the battery connector. Very reliable and sturdy. I am subtracting one rating grade because the programming is only by days of the week and you cannot choose to irrigate every two days, three days, etc.

I have used this timer for a few years and have had no problem. Getting ready to start another season soon.

I have installed five of these in the last year without a bit of trouble. A good product at a good price.

I have tried several Orbit timers for my drip system and none seemed to work for more than a few weeks. I bought one of these DIG units about 3 years ago and it still works like clockwork. Does what you ask it to do and doesn't eat batteries. It stands up under the Arizona sun and that is a true test in my opinion. I'm about to buy another one for another driip segment in my lawn.

Absolutely 5 stars. I've used drip systems for almost 20 years and timers have come and gone quickly. This is, by far, the best I've ever used and also the easiest to program!!!

Great Timer. Much better than any timers I could find at the National home improvement stores. Good for drip irrigation (can do times of as little as 1 minute, and has 4 run times per day. It would also be good for a sprinkler.

VERY EASY to program, nice design. Uses a 9v battery, besure you have one available.

This thing is absolutely incredible! Just program it and forget it. Easy to use and dead accurate…

Absolutely wonderful timer, we have several, seldom a problem...and then easy to fix. Very dependable!

Works great. Easy to program and operate.

I'm very happy with this timer (9001D). I have them on three separate systems where they have worked perfectly for over four years. A good quality 9V battery lasts well over a year. Easy to program and works perfectly - easier to program than other brands I've used. No leaks around the connectors.

I just broke one of them by accidently hitting it (hard!) with a trash can and replaced it with a spare kept on hand for just such problems. Now, I need to buy another one to replace my spare and I won't even consider changing brands.

I bought this timer last year and it did not work. I tried it for over a week and it would never activate at the programmed time. I returned it and went with a different brand, Melnor, that I bought at a local 'big box' store for $25. It worked the first time and every time.

I think this timer is very good. I had it for 2 years and I really like it.

I have been using this for two years. Easy to program and very flexible. A good buy for the money.

Great product, fast shipping. I am now a return customer.

These are great. Very inexpensive, and easy to use. We also use end caps, but probably should just use these guys.

Great hose end. I use it for those low er lying areas that need draining in the winter, just slip up the "8", drain, and slip back in place. No fuss.

Quick and easy ... works as stated. An inexpensive way to terminate a line. Recommended.

I used the D031 to replace another brand in my peach orchard. The other brand was constantly plugging with carbonate minerals in my well water. The D031 is working much better, not plugging, watering more uniformly, allowing for less time per cycle.

These have worked very nicely.....James B.

where is your misting nozzle 3 GPH?

I have been using this for about three months in an elaborate home garden system. Thought it wasnt working and was disappointed until I carefully read the manual and inserted the restricter disc into the fitting. Needs better documentation. Seems to work OK with Miracle Gro in the 1.25lb bags that come 8 or so to a box. Quality of bottle is good, the in-line fitting is marginal at best and will likely fail in normal use. This is a custom fitting and when it breaks will make the entire applicator useless.

Decent fit and finish. Two things to know: (1) the 1/8 tubing THREADS onto the fitting, which is a nice but easy to miss feature; and (2) these must be used with a stake (I like the GD-000) that fits into the plant-end of the tubing because without some back pressure the four ends will not all drip, this should be more clearly stated in the description.

I'm sure this is a good product, but it was not what I expected having read the specs. I understood this to be a plain and simple manifold for distributing flow 6 ways. However, this unit also controls pressure to all outlets regardless of where the valve dials are set. Each outlet has an internal diaphragm that set maximum output to something very low; I'd guess less than 10 GPH. There's NO WAY you're going to get 20 GPH from each outlet as stated in the specs, regardless of the pressure you're putting into the unit.

I hooked this unit all up to my irrigation setup, and couldn't figure out why I was getting puny output. The unit does not come apart so that you can remove or adjust the pressure control diaphragm.

Fortunately, the valves are removable, so I MacGyvered a homemade manifold from the canibalized parts, and threw away the shell.

We bought 4 of these units, and want to return them soon. I was extremely disappointed in them.

They are very susceptible to clogging and impossible to clean out.

Solid construction, flawless operation even at lower pressures. Note these have a relatively large diameter.

Warning -- select another emitter if you have a lower pressure setup. They work fine at >20psi. I got this tech note response from drip store: "...diaphragm emitters such as D081 require 10+ psi water weight to actuate the flow disk."

I set up a drip line for about 100 trees using these Emitters last spring. They worked as billed, I didn't lose a single plant because of these emitters.

These are quality emitters. Gets more than you think you need, because you'll want to use them each time you add another potted plant or small bush to your landscape.

Saves from having to water everyday by hand and it also saves money. Really like the Drip system for watering plants.

These emitters are a lot better made than the ones I was using originally. These do not come apart anywhere. The old ones I had would separate from their stems when pulled out of a 1/4" tube, leaving the plastic stem inside. But that does NOT happen with these emitters.

This very fine mesh screen will keep ALL particles out of your low-pressure drip system, which is what you really need if you have drip line or tape installed below grade.

Have not used this yet, but it is something I'll be grateful to have once the Y-filter begins to leak around the seal.

I have at least 10 of these puppies throughout my irrigation system. My dog chewed up the 1/2" main poly line in several locations, and goof plugs couldn't save it. So I ended up cutting off the damaged area and reconnecting the line with these Spin Loc connectors.

If you think you will ever want to create another 'zone' with its own watering schedule, you will need to have some of these handy. when you connect it, do the ends opposite each other first (left and right), then connect the last one perpendicular to the line.

All these Spin-Loc fittings are much better than the simple barbed fittings, well worth it. Easier to fit on the barb and no worries about it popping off.

Another high-quality Spin Loc part you will want to have on hand. The flush valve helps you keep debris out of your lines.

Well-made and easy to use. These do not leak at all when installed correctly. Hand-tight is all you need.

Nice strong stakes. Perfect for main line placement and keeping it where you want it. This keeps my dogs from disrupting the irrigation layout.

These are really nice to use to keep your drip line at the same level. The tubing snaps in place at the crook in the stake, and it is equally useful for above and below grade installations.

You can never have too many goof plugs, and these are very strong and user-friendly. I am also using them as end caps to my 1/4" drip lines. The larger end is best when plugging holes in the poly main line.

Order extra--these are not just for goofs.

Use them to replace drip emitters in 3/4" and 1/4" line when a plant or area no longer needs water.

These are a very good item to have in your drip toolbox. We used a few on our 1st garden bed, but now we know more and don't need them very often. We will keep them in a safe place for future use as needed.

Only used one so far!

I used this 1/4" drip line to replace some T-tape in my raised bed. I have been very pleased with the drip line so far. Mine is below the surface about 4", and it is keeping the moisture level of the soil the way the plants need it.

the filter for your garden hose connection; good quality product

This is exactly what you need to prevent your drip system from possibly contaminating your water supply. Mine is placed just before the filter. This material is plenty sturdy; I have installed and uninstalled it numerous times and it seems to withstand quite a bit.

This one is necessary for my setup, but I wish it was made out of metal or something much more sturdy. I have had to replace at least 5 times this summer due to breakage. I would gladly pay more for a brass version...

Used this in Cental Texas 100 degree heat and after about two weeks cracks started to appear everywhere in the 1/4" poly micro tubing # T042....
switched to # T039 vinyl tubing... too early to say for sure but so far so good...........James B.

Have 2 of them installed for roughly two weeks now and they are working as desired. The controller is simple to use and intuitive. I water about 2 acres of lawn/shrubs and after 6 years have decided I had enough of manual valve manipulation. I'm hoping these will free up some time. I wish they made a 2.5 in wireles valve and I'd use them for my pasture as well!So far so good.

Note that this punch like all Gun Punches does't work on tubing that's hot from being in the sun. The heat softens the tubing and the tubing temporarily collapses under the force of the cutter.

When you have to work on hot tubing, the cheaper awl-style punch works better.

Very easy to use and durable. I've had mine for at least two years--works perfectly even for tired hands. Don't use any other punch.

I have used this punch for 2 years. OUTSTANDING ! Always works, no issues

great product. almost to easy to use.

Works as stated. If you have many holes to punch, this is the ONLY way to go. (HINT: Buy a hand punch also, to put in your pocket to punch the occasional hole when this punch is nowhere to be found.)

Definately worth the price. If you have alot of 1/2 inch tubing like I do, this tool saves you time. We were able to quickly punch and insert our 1/4 inch lines in no time.
It does a great job as I have not had one leak branching off of the 1/2 inch main line.

This site has the VERY BEST prices for products AND shipping! Most sites for drip irrigation parts charge a small fortune for the shipping, but not this one. First honest site I've seen. Thank you, Drip Store!

No leaks! Can sometimes be tough getting the hose in them but not too bad.

Everything went well. We are setting up for vacation. The palm punch is a little weak, should get the stronger one. Found out after inserting the fitting into the main line if you pull it out a touch it will seal against the inside wall of the main line keeps down the leaks. The .25 micro tubing is tough to push on. Might want to use something to soften it before pushing on. Very satified

When I set out to have a gravity feed gray water drip system, I read several places that flag emitters are ideal because they're easily cleaned.

It is true that they can be cleaned easily. However, I found that they also seem to clog more than the diaphragm type emitters. So, this is the trade off. If you have a lot of emitters then it may not be worth the effort to periodically go through and clean them. I found that I have to clean mine once every few weeks or they start dripping slower.

The kind of clogging material I'm talking about is slime, btw. A decent filter removes most of the hard stuff, but organic slime gets through and seems to multiply inside the lines, even after the filter. So it's good to keep the water moving and every few weeks blast some fresh water through the system to push the slime out.

I'm running a low pressure (5 psi and less) gravity drip system with grey water, so my concerns are low pressure functionality and clog resistance/clean-ability.

These Netafim heavy-duty emitters are large in size, bigger than any I've seen. I'd imagine this means a lot of internal volume and less small places for material to jam up. I found that at 5 psi these emitters put out quite a bit more water than flag emitters of the same rating. This "1 GPH" emits about as much water as "2 GPH" flag-type emitter, maybe more.

I run a shower greywater system and my primary concerns are ability to run at low pressure (5 psi or less), and clogging with organic material. These emitters work well after filtration with a 150 mesh disc, and they run great at low pressure. So far, they seem to be more clog resistant than the flag emitters, and way way more clog resistant than any in-line emitters, which clog the most and cannot be serviced.

works great for hydroponics system...

Good price!!!

Got 2 of them and it is leaking water on both. Don't buy!!!

Lots of emitters, and lots of hose, but not enough barbs to connect them all.

Unless you want to put all your emitters on your 1/2" main, you'll need to add some barbed connectors in order to connect more than four 1/4" lines from your mains.

Also, unless you're driving them into really tough clay, the "hold-down" stakes are worthless. On my aerated soil, they just pop right out on the tension of the 1/2" tubing.

Great starter kit. I set it up in my vegatable garden with an automatic timer and it works perfectly. It took less than 30 minutes to set up the whole system. Terrific timesaver and helps you to maintain even watering which is critical to good tomatoes.

I am very happy with this kit. Everything is of excellent quality and performs wonderfully. I feel it is a great value. It has more than enough parts included for all different configurations. I ordered another 200' of hose and an extra 5 of the 360 degree sprayers and it works great. I will be ordering more next spring. Thank you.

This drip emitters are great. They're easily adjustable over a wide range of drip rates and they're a great buy.

Very good!
They are fully adjustable. It sends 8 [or 6?] tiny streams of water in a 360 degree pattern. I use it in many places....ranging from large container/pots to small trees. Works perfectly.
The flow is a little high....especially for containers.......they start overflowing in a minute or two. Hence I am looking at MS023 instead for containers.

They work great and are adjustable, as indicated. Use too many and they sap the water pressure, though.

Put one on each of my young 30 fruit trees. All worked perfectly on the very first try. Gives even, steady watering and are easily adjustable.

I agree with previous reviews, these are too short for my application. I have raised beds, and at least 6" to 8" is loose soil. For these to work I need 8" to 10". I'm going to look around to see what I can find.

I agree with the previous post, it is just too short to hold 1/2" tubing in place.

An essential item for keeping polytubes in the proper position for watering, but it is often too short in loose soil. Different sizes such as 9 and 12 inches or 8, 10 & 12 inches would be a big asset.

Works, but is too short to stay in the ground. It gets pulled out as tubing expands/contracts.

Solid tubing and very easy to work with - haven't had any problems.

This is a good mainline filter but with my water conditions, I found it better to replace the 155 mesh green filter with the 120 mesh brown filter. Algae was clogging the original screens and dropping delivery pressure to the point of rendering it useless in a week. With 6 filters, cleaning them out became a chore but the 120 mesh did the trick.

Works well as far as the flitering goes, I guess, but the female fitting that screws onto the hose bib slipped off the filter, allowing water to gush on the ground. Nothing broke as far as I can tell, the threaded female part just slipped off the rest of the filter.
These are cheap enough, no biggie, but I'm glad I caught it, as I drip irrigate at night!

Works well. No leaks at all!

I have used these stakes in several installations over the past 3 years. They are sturdy and economical. I favor them over the other 2 or 3 others I tried from the Drip Store. At least for my soil, which has some subsurface rocks and thus could bend less sturdy stakes, these performed well. PS-- I am just a customer of Drip Store-no hustler for anyone or any product.

These adjustable pressure regulators are terrific for my microsprayer systems. A typical run of mainline tubing works well around 35PSI. If you have unusually long runs, you can compensate (within reason) by increasing the pressure. I prefer to install the regulator after the canister screen filter so that a partially clogged filter doesn't affect delivery pressure. The unit uses pipe thread, so you'll need the appropriate 3/4" couplers to attach it to your garden faucet.

My typical setup is:

Faucet >> Timer >> Anti-backflow valve >> Screen filter >> Pressure Regulator >> Main line to micro-sprinkler zones >> Self-Drain valve.

Usage took some experimenting because our initial inlet pressure exceeded 110+ psi, which it appeared to disable the functionality. Support at The Drip Store helped me with the problem. Now that spring usage is normal on city water, all pressure valves work fine.

We have a single regulator (ea) on two of our main garden systems, with 5 to 12 watering zones downstream from the valves. There is no problem w/pressure on the far ends of either line. This has saved us valves and extra work. Also, we feel these valves will prevent blowouts we have experienced extensively over the years.

I highly recommend these pressure valves.

this is just what I had been looking for. The downward spray is perfect for my pots to keep the water in the pot and not on the front porch. Very easy to install and use.

I have several different types of emitters and these seem to be the most consistent (even at low and irregular pressure).

Each spot spitter has a special purpose. The drak green 160 Degree spitter, Flow Rate 9.6-13.2 GPH works the best for us all around for 2-3 situations.

First we use them to give good coverage for planted seeds in rows until the seeds get their roots. Then we switch from spitters to emitters where the foliage is low to the ground. Where the plant stalks are tall with little foliage close to the ground, we just leave them in place the whole season.

Also they work well for things like asparagus where there is little foliage and it is always uncertain where the stalks will emerge.

We run two poly-tubes lines along the outer edges of beds and stagger these 160 spitters to point in toward the planted area. The coverage is perfect.

The dark green spitter works best for us as we are on rural well water. This flow rate distributed over only 160 degrees give a very even, strong spray. The light green 160 spitter does not put out enough water for our large outside beds but would work well for small beds or inside pots/boxes. The 360 blue spitters have about the same FR but the spray is weak. Occaissionally we also use the 90 Degree spitter with FR 2.4 -3.6 GPH at the end of a row/line where w plant flowers or herbs.

We use the

They work great. I'm very pleased.

Have only used a short time but love this product. Sprays a good 6ft with nice adjustable knob to customize after placement.

I did not recieve what I ordered
what I got was a lf300 in a package labeled lf335
please send me the proper part ASAP

These weren't available when I first setup my microsprinklers. With the stake buried about 8", there's still enough above ground for the sprinkler head to be above most flower beds. The 1/4" tube snaps into 2 notches but I would probably still tie-wrap it at the top to keep the sprinkler head from rotating.

I was a little skeptical at first, but I've installed these at the end of all my laterals and T connections. They allow a small flush at the start of each watering cycle and open at the end for drainage. These were left in place over winter and I did not need to flush out the system. Since they drain below 7PSI, there's also less chance of trapped water freezing over winter and bursting the main line. I still have a few lateral ends with the pinch ring (figure 8) and when I open them, I see quite a bit of sediment and algae, so installing these flush valves is definitely in order.

Awesome for small gardens. I just love the perfomance of these emitters.

Great product - very durable. I use the compression fittings whenever possible - these usually go on the ends of my sprinkler assemblies that connect to the Press-Fit Plunger Series 700 (G109). Allows me to easily switch out sprinkler assemblies without having to cut hoses, pull out barbs, etc.

I usually insert a black barb converter (D065) instead of the tee so i can start branching out with 1/4 tubing for flower beds, gardens, etc. The compression fitting makes it easier in case I need to hook up a sprinkler assembly and can remove the fitting before winter (leaving just the adapter and a plug above ground) for easy maintenance.

I've installed 300 feet of this type in my yard alone and so far it has been solid and haven't had any issues. Great for flower beds and the color helps it blend in easily in case you don't want to mess with burying it. I would also recommend using the barb insert tool - it is a bit more rigid than the other tubing so inserting barbs can be a bit more work.

These are really handy for large pots. I also use a few in my small greenhouse. The flexible stem is stiff, wraps around things like a snake, then pretty well stays where you put it. The spray adjusts nicely from a small spitting to a full misty spray.

They work.

They work.

It's vinyl tubing, wish I'd bought 500' - We have come up with more projects now.

Lots of parts! Sorted, packed & labeled well. Wish it had included the barb install tool - I didn't know about this or would have bought one - sore hands!! But then I'm getting older.

Great way to begin--Tinker Toys for adults. Added a 9-volt battery powered timer and automated the watering of our extensively landscaped backyard--150 trees, plants, flowers and shrubs. We installed the system in about the time it normally takes to drag the hose around and water the yard once. Now we water twice a day for 15 minutes each--all automatically. Next weekend we'll cover the line with mulch and no one will be the wiser.

I just ordered some more supplies and we'll begin the front yard (180 plants) next.

BTW, 500 ft seems like a lot of 1/2 inch tubing, but if your landscaping is two or three deep you'll find it easiest to run two or three parallel rows of 1/2 tubing using t connectors, so you use a lot more than you think you will.

Works Great!

I was disappointed with the design of zone connectors and end line connections. I had several blow outs.

Hard to straighten out tubing. Instructions should tell how far you must insert tubing into fittings. I found it goes into fittings about 1/2 to 5/8 inch.

This kit was not exactly what I was looking for, though it is everything is says. It does not actually have any drippers, just holes punched every 18" in the brown tubing...so unless your plants are perfectly spaced, it is difficult to line it all up exactly. But it works well enough and my plants are all still alive, so I'm happy.

first year of use this began leaking in the first few months on two of my lines out of four

Without a doubt, this backflow preventer is the weakest link in my drip system. Small cracks appear within weeks, which cause my system to leak like crazy. I've changed this model out three or four times now, making adjustments along the way to alleviate excess pressure or strain, and nothing works. I'm now going to try the heavy duty model. Save yourself some money and aggravation and avoid this product.

I purchased 2 of these backflow preventers and both of them developed small cracks that rendered them unusable. They were only hand tightened and shouldn't have cracked. I think that it could have been the weight of the water filter assembly (F065) that may have contributed to this.

This product gives plants all they need in the vegatative stage. I have No complaints, used 1/2 teas. per gal.first two waterings, then 1 teas. per gal until flower.

This is a very nice kit, however the (A027) drip tape end caps are poor. They are very difficult to insert and virtually all of them leak badly. (I recommend that you phone the Drip Store to see if this problem has been fixed before you order the kit.)

i need this product
how can to order and transport
i am from thai land please teel us thank u

I want to know your drip tape prices and how many meter are in one roll?Is this 36.84 USD for the one roll?The black roll.

Great emitters, installed 0.5 and 1 GPH in garden and the work perfertly. Very happy with The Drip Store also.

I like these as they all work flawlessly. Am using about 100 for my garden and have not had one clog, leak or fail.

Just installed 50 of these in our garden. All have even flow as advertised.
Easy to install.

Whoops... I was referring to the Miracle Punch, not this fancy one.

I've been using my punch for 11 years. To the previous reviewer, it makes holes in the poly tubing so you can stick in barbed connectors. The goof plugs will bail you out if you make a mistake. Just pay attention to which side you're making holes on so your drip tape goes the direction you want. I couldn't be without it. Hope you get yours working for you.

I`m sorry I bought this. A lot of money for something that comes with no instructions and I cant figure anything out about how to use it or what it does. I`ve emailed the drip store for instructions but so far,nothing.

No instructions. Very difficult to figure out how to use. Cuts good, but not real friendly for making holes in the tubing for barb installs. Not worth the money.

Tube cutter works great. The hole punch works but you have to do the work by pushing and twisting which is not easy. No instructions. I also bought the miracle punch - use that for the holes and this thing for cutting tubes and pushing on barrbs.

The Pro punch and tubing cutter does not come with a set of instructions. The 4 pictures which are intended to detail its uses do not cover all the parts on the cutter. The cutter is not nearly as effecient in cutting tubing as the basic cutting tools. The only real advantage I can see is the ability to easily install plugs.

It is kinda OK for 1/4 tubing. I say so because it pinches the tube quite a bit. I am not sure if that affects the flow. I have used hold down stakes in kits from horbor freight tools and they dont pinch the tubing so much. But in comparison, this is built better.

Instead of attaching it to the tubing I attach it to the dispensing end of the drippers [it fits perfectly]. That way the dripper is held horizontally. BTW, a better item to holding drippers is S003.

Seems to be a bit too short to hold in loamy soil.

Very nicely built. It is a little larger than what I'd like it to be. I am going to look for more inconspicuous items....maybe the S002

I got mixed experiences about this item. It needs a lot of presure to generate the mist. When I used it at a hieght of around 5 ft it worked as advertised....making a lot of mist.
But when I used it at two hanging baskets which are hung at a height of around 10' and I fed this mister using around 15' of 1/4 tubing.....it would not mist satisfactorily. It generated a wide stream instead. I guess the pressure up there is not enough.

Another problem was that due to the screw type connection the misters will sometimes pop off the end of the 1/4 tube. I had to push the tube all the way in...so that it was touching the valve. After that it is better.

My first time installing a drip irrigation set. Was pleased overall. Ended up buying some additional pieces, but that was poor planning on my part (was easy to find the additional pieces online). I would recommend for beginners. One tip, buy a splitter so you can still hook up your garden hose to your outdoor faucet without having to unhook the drip system.

This is a great starter kit. You can add on more later depending on your needs. For us, it saves a ton of time and money. If you have to buy all the included items invidually, it will cost you a lot more than the listed price. It was fun putting it together even though it was my first time using drip system.

This product was easy to install and works wonderful! It has saved us so much time. Highly recommended.

Says what it does, does what it says. You may need coustomize a bit more with different kinds of sprayer heads, but they are inexspensive, and easy to order. I have 3 adjustable drip lines and about 300 ft of garden. works great!

I read the brochure and figured out all pieces in 2 hours at one night. Next day took me 4 hours to install the system, one 120' line along the rock garden at front of ourhouse and 300sft garden at back yard. It is very easy to install and all pieces fit well. I am very pleased.

I am waiting for the micro sprinklers and I can't wait.

Great kit! I installed it yesterday and it has all I need for a a few dozen garden palants. The directions are clear, the equipment is complete, and (though I had leftovers) it is the best way to order if one knows nothing about what you need. It is working right now. Now with the thing installed I can order piecemeal the things I want to add without worrying if I'm missing something I needed the first day.

I purchased this sytem in July of 1999. After laying it out on paper, it went together great--I was able to set it up perfectly for our garden, and we had the best year ever for vegetables. We had a couple of years where the garden barely got in at all, and I did not set the system back up after removing it for winter and cultivating. Pulled it all out this week--it's great! Had help setting it up this time, but it was just a matter of laying it back out on the garden, flushing it and re-arranging nozzles. Very easy to do, almost like having a whole new system. I'm ordering a few extra nozzles and tubing, but could easily get by with everythng I had from the first year's configuration. I highly recommend the product and the completeness of this kit. Priced very reasonable for what you get and expecially for the results. I literally had a few hundred more tomatoes from the 6-9 plants I usually put in!

This was the easiest and most pleasant sprinkler job I have ever done, and I have had a lot of horror stories in the past. (You know the drill, go down to the big "Despot" home supply center, spend an hour, ask a ton of questions (if you can find someone who knows about the product LIMIT 1 ; drop more bucks than you thought you would, get home & try to install it only to find that you're missing key parts-- know what I'm talking about.?) My experience with the TOP kit was just the opposite-- all the part were included, very clear directions, installed in less than half an hour. I like the fact that the little poly lines run straight to each plant and deliver water to the roots. I never thought that I convert big honkin' heads to low water flow without calling in an expert. I will be ordering several more TOP kits very soon.

Dripcorp replaced all defectiive stems (27) on my original orders of 90 degree, 180 degree and 360 degree Pop-up units. The new units are operational at this date. I appreciate the quick response and plan to purchase several more units in the near future.

Thank You.

The pop up stem splits at the point where the nozzle is "threaded" into the stem. The split stems were discovered after installation; however, a few defective split stems were discovered before installation.

I have removed the nozzle on some stems removing the split (cut off about a half inch) and replacing the nozzle. This repair works on a few of the stems... others, it only splits again.

The pop up sprinklers, 90, 180, 360 degrees, is an effective product for low pressure (20-25 psi) irrigation water provided in the city.

Do you know of an effective solution to the above described defect?

The kit as package is pretty good. However, the drip tape end plugs are worthless. They don't fit in the tape tightly enouth, and the pressure ring just won't slide into a good position most of the time. If DIG would lengthen the plug by about 1 inch, or use the same pressure ring system on the T-joints, then the plugs would probably work.

I recently purchased 2 of these filters and had problems attaching pressure regulators (A043) leading to the threads becoming stripped. In attaching the pressure regulators, the hose washer in the regulators prevented sufficient threading, leading to the ends of the threads on the filter getting slightly stripped and a leaky connection. I then removed the hose washers from the pressure regulators and wrapped the filter threads in teflon tape (thinking that there would be more threading available to make a good connection) but this also developed a pinhole leak. Finally, I just used some GOOP and threaded the two parts together (I would have glued them together but they're different types of plastics and I don't think that there is a suitable glue for joining the two plastics). One joing has held but the other is leaking and I had to wrap it with old tire-tubing. In summary, then, it's difficult to impossible to make a water tight connection between this filter and the pressure regulator using either the hose washer or by using teflon tape. I consider this to be a flaw in the filter due to its softer threads susceptible to stripping.

apparently designed to leak

I found that these clogged up after a short time of use. I would recommend drip tape instead....

Very nice set up! Easy to understand and install. This product works fine and would recomend to anyone. It was recomended to me by friends in Calif. They had tried them all , but this particular company was the best bor mopney found, DIG makes them hassle free..L Tennessee

I finished installing my K004 kit in my 20x48 side yard a week ago. So far, everything works beautifully. I felt the K004 kit was, overall, a good deal, and it simplified my DIY installation of drip irrigation. Even though I didn't use all the parts and I had to buy others that weren't included, it was still immensely helpful to be able to start with a set of pieces that are guaranteed to play together.

The directions are easy to follow. It took me about half an hour to figure out how the head assembly went together. At first I had a hard time attaching/removing connectors to the poly tubing and microtube -- quite a workout for my muscles! -- until I wised up and started using hot water and pliers.

Some helpful hints for others contemplating the K004 kit...

- Order a roll of teflon tape for taping the threaded parts in your head assembly. The K004 kit doesn't come with it, but the instructions call for it, and you'll probably need it to prevent leaks. If you don't already have some, save yourself a trip to Home Depot and just order it (part A042) when you order your K004 kit ;)

- The kit doesn't include drip line with embedded emitters. Depending on your garden, this may or may not be an issue. In my case, I was originally planning to use the kit's microsprayers on my flower beds, but then I realized that drip line would be more appropriate for flower beds that have a large number of varying-sized shrubs. Plan ahead and save yourself another trip to Home Depot ;)

- If you do end up using drip line, you'll also need additional stakes (part S006) for holding it down. The K004 kit only has 30 of them. Save yourself a trip to every Home Depot in a 15-mile radius because I found HD is often out of them ;) Figure you'll need to stake down every 3 feet or so.

- If you'll be attaching a lot of microtubing to your mainline (say, for container plants and shrubs LIMIT 1 ; you'll probably need more 1/4" microtubing and 1/4" barb connectors (SF001).

- If you want to hook up both your drip system and a hose (say, for washing the car) to the same hose bibb, order a Y connector. Sorry, I don't have the part # on that one, but I know The Drip Store carries this item because I ordered mine from them.

- Remember to clean your tubing punch with a toothpick after each hole you punch. This will help prevent debris from getting into your tubes.

Bottom line, I'm a satisfied customer. Since I just installed, I can't comment (yet) on durability, but maybe I'll be back to do that after a few Colorado winters...

These drippers are GREAT!!!! Last summer I bought 6 different types of drippers to see what would work best for me. I have very hard water. These drippers did the trick. I have over 200 in use right now and just order another 100. They are GREAT.....

work great. 200 installed not a problem with any.

I was very disappointed in this product. Within 3 weeks of installing it, holes or splits would appear with the water spraying out, not weeping. I followed all the instructions, using a 25psi pressure regulator at the beginning of the line and using .700 fittings. Would not recommend.

The mainstay of the drip irrigation system. They work great and I've never had one clog or break. Re-useable as well.

More flexible than the black microtube. I prefer this hands down even if it costs a couple bucks more.

This controller kicks ass. It sat under water for two weeks during hurricane Katrina and still works today on the same batteries.

Don't over tighten, I broke the regulator in half when I went to give it "an extra half a turn" to line up the piping.

I am extremely happy with the kit. It provided me everything I needed to start my drip system. I also purchased a timer so that I could automate my system. I was wasting too much water using traditional soaker hoses as I only need to water a few plants (the wonders of xeriscaping). With new watering regulations in Albuquerque beginning July 1, it was time for a change.

Installation has been very easy. After working on it bit by bit for 3 days, I'm almost finished with my entire yard. For the few pieces that I needed to add, I was able to pick them up at my local Home Depot, paying slightly more than the Drip Store's price, but being able to purchase the same brand.

Works great as a filter and the screen is easy to remove and wash out when necessary. My only disapointment is that these things are also advertised as fertilizer applicators. I tried it and it was a joke. The most you can get in is just a few tablespoons full, which was messy and just not enough to count even for my small installation. Maybe there is some additional device that could be attached to the end-cap that could hold enough fertilizer to be worthwhile???

I use these with the MS006 spray heads and like them very much! I would also like see a taller and shorter version for more control of spray radius!

I use these Spray Jets to water in my greenhouses with great results. I have to remove and soak them in a acid solution every 6 months because of my water hardness. BUt they work great for the 288 plug trays up to 2 gallon pots!

When we bought our first greenhouse 3 years ago we purchased a misting system with it. Well the misters that came with it worked more like sprinklers. We found The Drip Store and purchased these and couldn't be happier.
When we lost that greenhouse to a huricane the only thing I dug out of the wreckage was these foggers. They are still working perfectly years later in our new greenhouse.

Works great. No clogs (which is what I was worried about). I have some buried and some on top of the ground. The drip line has been in operation for over a year now with no issues whatsoever.

No problems with this item over past year and a half.
Does not leak (except when shutting water off which is what it is supposed to do to prevent a backflow)

WANT TO PURCHASE A SAMPLE

I love this controller. I bought another home (one time before I had the same situation) with a full irrigation system but all manual valves. The previous owners must have liked puttering but I knew for me it would mean dead landscaping. I could have bought a central unit, valves and spend time hooking it all up wires and all. With these valves I've replaced the manual valves and have an automated system. Granted not as sophisticated and a central unit but I didn't have to mount the control unit in my house, drill holes in the wall and run wire all over the yard.

This is my second time utilizing these valves and I can't say enough about how satisfied I am. This model is a big improvement over the previous on because it is easier to program. My grass is also green.

Coverage might be a hair under 21 feet but this sprinkler really works.
I have four of these connected to a system that has 50 drip emitters on it and was suprised that they worked so well.

These are another of our favorites. Our biggest use is / will be with pots & planters. Our entire yard pots everywhere, and with these little guys we can water most of them automatically.

We highly recommend this item.

So far, we have only used drip line in two garden / flower beds. Our soil is very good, so 12" spacing may be a problem.

Last week we watered one bed 20 hours and it was not soaked.

Today we watered a garden bed 1.75 hrs and it still needs more time.

Based on our initial experience, we most likely will not be using any more drip hose in our garden beds, and returning 300' of it.

We do have excellent water pressure.

We do not recommend this product.

Ok, but for half the price you can get "360- Degree Adjustable Mini Bubbler Pattern on Barb" and it does about the same job.

We're only luke warm on this item.

These guys are real winners. We use them in all garden / flower beds, and adjust individual heads to meet the specific location need.

We highly recommend these guys!!

This is great hose. We have have re-order more twice already, and most likely will need every foot of it this spring.

The hose is great for any size garden or flower bed.

We highly recommend buying this hose.
