50pcs Drip Emitters for 1/4" Drip Irrigation Tubing, Adjustable 360 Degree Water Flow Drippers on 5" Arrow Stake, Garden Irrigation Drippers for (4-7mm) Watering System

Never fails, great product

I just installed these on my balcony container garden and would probably give it a six-star review in comparison to others I've used over the years. Two key advantages: (1) only one part per spigot; and (2) adjustability. (1) One Part Only. My old system (two different brands over ~12 years) was ridiculous in retrospect requiring a piece of tubing to the water source mounted to the flow restrictor, then mounting another piece of tubing on the other side of the flow restrictor, then a spigot protector thingie on the end, and finally an awkward clip-on spike to keep in in place. These ones require you to simply plug the emitter into the tubing, shove it into the ground, and boom you're done. (2) Adjustability. My small container garden has a lot of separate emitters on a single, branched water supply. Different heights, tubing lengths, distance from water source, number of spigots on each chain = massively-varying water pressure across the system. Other systems require you to choose between different but fixed gpm emitters. If one area has too much or too little water, your only option then is to either cut out the emitter and replace, or splice in an extra emitter. For these La Farah emitters, you just do a simple twist to get the right flow. Tips for setup: get your whole chain of tubing and emitters set up and mounted into your garden as you want them set up, then turn on the water supply. Although the sprinkler umbrella pattern looks great, you want to focus on getting the right amount of water to your plants. I use a flow reducer to 25psi to reduce strain on tubing and reduce risk of water hammer and blowout. Starting near the water source, adjust the hard-spraying ones back by twisting until you're getting decent flow at the far end. Pressure drops the further you are from the source and the more emitters on the chain, so if you have the emitters wide open at the beginning, there won't be much pressure left for the plants at the far end. Just one minor caveat: if you have stiff 1/4" tubing, the barb is a bit tough to get on and your hands will tire out. If your tubing is softer/more flexible, it will be a piece of cake. The good news is that it's never going to fall off once it's on. Tip: you can stretch the opening a bit by shoving the spiked bottom of the spigot into the tubing before putting the barb in the tubing. If you have the patience, dipping in hot water or doing in full, hot sun will soften the tubing, making it easier.

Work great but check the spray pattern on a regular basis. Probably dirt/debris in my system but I often need to re-adjust the spray coverage. Only last about a year in Central Florida before the red plastic caps start to disintegrate. Tip: Used an heat gun to soften the 1/4" tubing to facilitate inserting the barb easier.

I was looking for some simple low pressure watering heads for my garden. Something a step up from drip irrigation, but not as powerful or wasteful as some of the more high end irrigation systems that are more suited for watering your lawn or bushes. Do not be fooled by the "drip emitters" in the title, they are more useful than a simple drip head, although you can adjust them down to a simple drip if that is what you are looking for. In my case I have them set so they saturate the soil around my plants so they provide more a deep watering, without splashing up on the leaves. In the video I included it shows the test run before I added my plants to the garden so make sure I was getting the coverage that I needed. I am using 28 of the heads, and have not had a single one that did not work. The drip holes are big enough that if you do happen to have a clog, a standard toothpick will fit and will unclog the opening. I have only had to do that a few times when the neighborhood squirrels decided it would be a good idea to dig around and inadvertently bury a few of the heads. I have been using them for about 2 months now, and they are still working perfectly with almost daily watering use. Pros: - Simple to use - Affordable for the number of heads you get - Good quality control - 1/4" connection makes them compatible with most watering systems - Can be used in open garden or grow bags - You can turn off a head so that you are not wasting water Cons: - Some are open, some are closed when you receive them. Need to pay attention to that during installation - They do not have any sediment filtering but at this price point that is not on usual - No way to set them only to deliver a "mist" but again, that is not what they are designed for.

We originally had drip emitters on the plants. Smaller plants 1-2 and 3-4 for the larger bushes. Using just one spray head these adjustable sprays are ideal and the ones we put on 2 years ago are easy to see if they clog and easy to clear by opening all the way then adjusting as needed.

This are great for my new plants. Great water flow control. One pro-tip is to use a heat gun to pre heat the 1/4” tubing a few seconds and it slides on smooth for a great connection.

The barb on this unit is bigger than a standard one to fit on the 1/4in lines. I had to heat the drip line to get it to press on the emitter. As long as you have a heat gun, these work great.

I extensively use emitters to water fruit trees over my 2 acre farm. In the past, I have used them from famous brands such as Raindrip, Orbit etc. They emit verry slow and if you unscrew them too much, then the top cap pops and its hard to find. These emitters are powerful, so you don't need to unscrew a lot. The long neck also helps to emit water all around the tree.
