Absolutely. Raindrip sells both analog and digital timers that connect easily and automate your system. In fact, using a timer is highly recommended to avoid over-watering or accidentally forgetting to water.

If you are having problems connecting your tubing into the swivel adapter,  we suggest trying the following: Cut the tip of the tubing at a 45 degree angle, push the tubing onto  the adapter and then turn the collar. At least ¾” of the tubing should  be inserted onto the swivel to secure a proper connection.  Alternatively, you can also leave tubing outside, exposed to direct  sunlight or use a hairdryer to heat up the tubing. This will cause the  tubing to become softer and help ease installation.

1/2 GPH 

An Anti-Syphon is only necessary when the water will be traveling up hill, or when your planter box will be at a higher elevation than the hose bib or faucet.   

Check the water pressure. It must be 15 to 35 psi. Check for kinks in the tubing. Make sure timer is operating correctly (refer to timer instructions) Flush the supply line.

Raindrip recommends that all Pressure Compensating Drippers  (PC Drippers) should not be installed more than 8 feet above  water source.

1. Ensure exposure of the tapered end by rotating collar  clockwise. 2. Using force, insert tubing onto tapered end. 3. Twist counter-clockwise to cover tubing and secure with the  collar. 4. Install fittings according to garden design.   

Yes, all Raindrip systems should have a pressure regulator. The  filter included in this kit has a built in pressure regulator.   

Each emitter will put out a water flow of 2 GPH.

Yes it can be. To extend the feeder line simply remove the ¼”  tubing from the barb fitting, add the additional length of tubing  and reconnect to the barb fittings. You will need additional  tubing.   

Yes, multiple Flower, Shrub & Tree Kits may be connected to each  other. You may also remove the flush cap at the end of the  supply tubing and add a ¾” hose swivel x 0.71” Compression  Adapter. Please note that the supply tubing as an outside  diameter of 0.71”.  

Yes, our tubing is made out of polyethylene with built in UV inhibitors

Yes, the supply tubing and feeder lines can be buried. You may  also cover the tubing with mulch.

To help alleviate or minimize this problem Raindrip suggests you fill small  containers with water and scatter them around your area. Squirrels and other rodents chew on Raindrip product due to the ease of accessing water and  providing them with other sources of water can deter them from chewing up  your product. If this solution does not help with your problem you can use  wire screen mesh to protect the product from ease of access by these  rodents. Note: the mesh may interfere with the spray radius of the sprinkler  heads.

¼” tubing is considered to be a fitter line while ½” and above is considered to be a supply line. 

¼” tubing maximum flow capacity is 15 GPH ½” tubing maximum flow capacity is 150 GPH 5/8” tubing maximum flow capacity is 180 GPH 0.71 tubing maximum flow capacity is 188 GPH

1/4” tubing maximum run length is 50’ ½” tubing maximum run length is 200’ 5/8” tubing maximum run length is 200’ 0.71 tubing maximum run length is 200’

Yes, our tubing is made out of polyethylene with built in UV inhibitors.

Raindrip supply tubing and feeder lines can be buried. However, drip tubing should not be buried. If buried, you run the risk of the emitters clogging. If you don’t want to have your drip tubing exposed you can cover them with mulch.

The flow capacity is 1 GPH (gallons per hour) per foot if your run is kept under 15’. If your runs longer than 15’ will result in inconsistent and uneven watering.

If you are having problems connecting your tubing into the swivel adapter, we suggest trying the following:   Cut the tip of the tubing at a 45 degree angle, push the tubing onto the adapter and then turn the collar. At least ¾” of the tubing should be inserted onto the swivel to secure a proper connection. Alternatively, you can also leave tubing outside, exposed to direct sunlight or use a hairdryer to heat up the tubing. This will cause the tubing to become softer and help ease installation.

Raindrip makes four different types of drippers: Pressure Compensating, Mini In-Line, Button Dripper, and Flag Drippers. Pressure Compensating drippers are used in landscapes and container planters and will maintain a constant flow rate even on hill sides or long circuits. Button drippers are appropriate for most drip watering applications on a flat terrain. Mini In-Line drippers are best for irregular spaced plants and short rows. They will connect to ¼” tubing on both sides.   Flag drippers can be used for potted plants or in other flat terrain plantings and are the only the drippers designed to be taken apart for easy cleaning.  

Drippers are color coded to differentiate the different flow rates outputs:    Pressure Compensating Drippers Color ½ GPH Drippers Red 1 GPH Drippers Black 2 GPH Drippers Green   In-Line Drippers (Partially Pressure Compensating) Color ½ GPH Drippers Red 1 GPH Drippers Black   Button Drippers (Partially Pressure Compensating)   Water Source Pressure (PSI) ½ GPH Dripper (Orange) 1 GPH Dripper (Blue) 2 GPH Dripper (Yellow) 10 0.46 GPH 0.80 GPH 1.60 GPH 15 0.55 GPH 1.10 GPH 2.10 GPH 20 0.65 GPH 1.25 GPH 2.40 GPH 25 0.70 GPH 1.30 GPH 2.70 GPH   Flag Drippers (Non-Pressure Compensating)   Water Source Pressure (PSI) 1 GPH Dripper (Black) 2 GPH Dripper (Green) 4 GPH Dripper (Yellow) 10 0.8 GPH 1.5 GPH 3.6 GPH 15 1.0 GPH 1.8 GPH 4.3 GPH 20 1.3 GPH 2.2 GPH 5.4 GPH 25 1.5 GPH 2.5 GPH 6.0 GPH 30 1.7 GPH 2.7 GPH 6.3 GPH  

You should never mix drippers with sprinklers, because of their varying flow rates. The flow rate of a sprinkler may vary from 0 to 20 GPH. Pressure Compensating, In-Line, Button, and Flag Drippers have a flow rate of ½ GPH, 1GPH, 2 GPH, and 4 GPH.  

A PC Dripper is a terminating dripper that has only one arrow head barbed connector. It should be installed at the end of ¼” tubing or inserted directly into a ½” tube.   An In-Line Dripper works very well with plants that have been spaced out. It has two arrow head barbed connectors, one on each side. The In-Line Dripper takes ¼” tubing on both sides. The length of the tubing between In-Line Drippers should match the distance between plans.  

No, drippers should never be used with an adjustable water manifold. If drippers are used, a back pressure will be created between the dripper and the manifold causing the ELI connection to pop out (The ELI is the ¼” barbed elbow that connects the ¼” tubing to the manifold).

Water flow is regulated by adjusting the screws on the manifold itself. 

To help alleviate or minimize this problem Raindrip suggests you fill small containers with water and scatter them around your area. Squirrels and other rodents chew on Raindrip product due to the ease of accessing water and providing them with other sources of water can deter them from chewing up your product. If this solution does not help with your problem you can use wire screen mesh to protect the product from ease of access by these rodents. Note: the mesh may interfere with the spray radius of the sprinkler heads. 

No.

Our fittings having barbs that allow them to be used with other manufacturers but the only universal fittings we have are our Smart Loc™ fittings and ¼” fittings. Our 1/2", 5/8" or .710 fittings will work with other manufacturer's as long as the I.D. (inner diameter) is within tolerance. For example, our 1/2" fittings will work with any manufacturer’s tubing with an I.D of .620 - .630. 

Mismatching threads is the main cause of leaky connections. Raindrip makes both pipe & hose thread parts and to prevent a leaky connection, it is important to match hose thread to hose thread and pipe thread to pipe thread.  

Yes, a liquid water soluble fertilizer will work fine with the “Y” filter.   

The flow control goes inside the swivel adapter with the black rubber washer facing up. The filter washer goes inside the faucet connection. If you try to set both the flow control and filter washer inside the swivel adapter, there will not be enough thread on the adapter to make a connection. 

Yes, a preset Pressure Regulator is necessary when installing a drip system. A drip system is design to work with a pressure of 25 to 35psi. Any pressure over35psi will damage the system over time.
