Rain Bird

Algunos no gotean

Licensed contractor here. Got a few hundred of these and I’ve had a 25% failure rate on brand new systems with 25psi. Not sure what’s going on as I typically use the easy clean rain bird drips with almost 100% success. Thought I’d try these because it was a good price but now I don’t trust them.Update: There aren’t really any directions BUT if you don’t insert the pointy end of the dripper into the supply, the dripper will fail. Once I discovered this, my success was a lot better.

I use a lighter on the tubing before put this emitter on the tubing. Haven’t had any issues,

Just completed installation of my fifth drip irrigation system. The first two were no-name clones from China and no e of the various style emitters couldn’t be adjusted on low pressure runs. The last ⅛ turn went from flooding the roots to barely a trickle = either way too much or way too little water.In contrast, the color-coded Rain Bird emitters consistently deliver 0.5 to 5.0 Gallons Per Minute - so it’s easy to fine tune how much moisture each plant receives by selecting one with a different flow rate. I typically use this 5 GPM one for larger shrubs or trees where the goal is to fully saturate the entire root circle.This latest version is smaller than the ones bought a few years ago, and having the diffuser caps included saves time and money. Adding diffusers at the end of each branch prevents the stream from washing away soil and keeps spiders and bugs from crawling into the feeder lines and clogging them up.I've never been disappointed by Rain Bird technology.
