Installation Steps

IMPORTANT steps to take before installation

Before installing, please make sure you have some form of filtration and pressure regulation installed on your water source.

Why is it important:

Filtration: without filtration, the couplings and emitters have small openings that can clog with debris or sediments.

Pressure regulation: pressure over 45 PSI can blow off the fittings and damage the micro irrigation system over time. You can find a wide variety of inexpensive pressure regulators on Amazon.com or at your local home improvement store.

Not all the included pieces need to be installed in one system. In order to offer you a fully customisable irrigation system, we included many more than enough pieces of each kind. Keep the leftover items like spare parts.

Naturally, the water pressure in the system drops a bit with every emitter installed. Depending on your water source pressure, you may install a greater or lesser number of emitters until the limit is reached and the water will stop flowing from some of the emitters. Normally, with a water pressure of 45 PSI, a system with a total number of either 20 360 Stream Emitters OR 12 Vortex Emitters should function without problems. Please feel free to experiment and create your unique combination of emitters in the system.

Technical Information:

The emitters are designed to work with a pressure of between 15 and 45 PSI. Maximum water volume delivered by a single emitter:

360 Stream

  • 60 Gallons/hour at 45 PSI
  • 55 Gallons/hour at 35 PSI
  • 45 Gallons/hour at 20 PSI 

Vortex

  • 45 Gallons/hour at 45 PSI
  • 35 Gallons/hour at 35 PSI
  • 30 Gallons/hour at 20 PSI

Both emitter types have an adjustable range up to a diameter of 3-4 feet.

The 360 Stream Emitter delivers water in an array of streams, being ideal for shrubs and trees. The Vortex Emitter evenly covers a full circle, making it perfect for a landscape or garden.
