Netafim Woodpecker PC Jr Dripper 6.6 GPH, Orange/Grey

When you absolutely need to make sure all your plants get the right amount of water, you need a pressure compensating dripper. In addition to the standard internal labyrinth - used to regulate the flow rate of the dripper - they also include a silicone diaphragm, allowing them to react to pressure changes within the system and ensure a more consistent flow of water. This makes pressure compensating drippers ideal for systems with long runs of tubing, lots of hills, or a water source with inconsistent pressure output. Pressure compensation is only active between 8 and 50 PSI, so remember to use a pressure regulator to ensure proper function.

Special Feature: this dripper is best for greenhouse applications or other scenarios where quick watering of plants is desired. It also has an internal check valve and a minimum operating pressure of 10.2 PSI.

All drippers have a flow rate, which describes how much water will come out of the dripper in a given period of time. This is usually expressed in GPH, or Gallons Per Hour. A 6.6 GPH dripper like this one will emit 6.6 gallons of water over the course of an hour. 6.6 GPH drippers are the highest flow drippers we carry and should be used lightly as too many of these can cause a drip system to exceed it's maximum capacity. Only use these drippers in situations where minimal watering time is desired.
