The Landscape Drip Irrigation Kit * We are no longer offering this kit. This kit's flexibility distinguishes it from our other one. Not only can you manually insert the emitters on the 1/2" main line tubing but you can also put them on the ends of the 1/4" tubing to reach plants further away. Drip irrigation only works at its best when the pressure in the barrel is maintained at the level needed for the drip emitters to function properly. That being said, this kit works down to 2 psi., which means that if you are using recycled plastic barrels they need to be elevated at least 4 feet to maintain pressure from start to finish.* If you maintain pressure of 2 psi and use all 40 emitters, each one will produce approximately .125 gph or 5 gph total. How long your water lasts depends on how long you leave the spigot open. To ensure that you have enough water for the time set, we recommend you use, at minimum, a double barrel system. *If you're not concerned about maintaining the pressure to the very last drop, then raising your barrels up 2-3 ft. should be sufficient to help maintain some of that pressure when the barrels are less than full.
