FAQs
What is the water output per drip head?
Each integrated drip head releases 1.6 liters of water per hour.
Can I bury this dripline underground?
Yes, this dripline is designed for both above-ground and underground installation, thanks to its root barrier.
How long can I extend this system?
The system can be extended up to a maximum of 140 meters with a master unit installed in a central position.
What is needed to connect this dripline?
You need a Gardena Micro-Drip System master unit and potentially 13 mm connectors for branching or extending the line.
Is this product suitable for lawns?
This dripline is specifically designed for rows of plants like hedges and bushes, not for broad lawn coverage which requires different irrigation methods.
How far apart are the drip heads?
The integrated drip heads are spaced every 30 cm along the dripline.
Troubleshooting
No water coming from drip heads
Ensure the master unit is properly connected and the water supply is on. Check for kinks or blockages in the main supply line. Verify that the system pressure is adequate.
Uneven water distribution
Confirm that the dripline is laid on a level plane or that the pressure-compensating drip heads are functioning correctly. Check for blockages in individual drip heads. Ensure the master unit is providing consistent pressure.
Drip heads clogged
The labyrinth technology is self-cleaning, but if persistent clogging occurs, disconnect the section and flush it with water. Ensure your water source is free from sediment.
Roots entering the pipe
Ensure the root barrier feature is intact. If the pipe is buried, make sure it is not placed directly in the path of major root systems. The root barrier is designed to prevent this.
