FAQs
What is the maximum flow rate per shrubbler?
Each Claber 91228 shrubbler can deliver a maximum of 40 liters per hour.
Do these shrubblers come with tubing?
No, these are the shrubblers only. They are designed to connect to existing drip irrigation tubing.
Can I use these for seedlings?
Yes, by setting the flow rate to a very low setting (e.g., 1-5 L/h) to avoid overwatering delicate seedlings.
How do I clean a clogged shrubbler?
You can try to flush it with water. If necessary, carefully disassemble the adjustable part and clean it with a soft brush and water. Ensure it is reassembled correctly.
What is the recommended pressure for this system?
These shrubblers are designed for low-pressure drip irrigation systems, typically operating between 15 to 30 PSI (1 to 2 bar). An inline pressure regulator is recommended.
How many plants can one pack of 10 cover?
The pack of 10 allows you to individually water up to 10 plants or sections of your garden requiring specific water amounts.
Troubleshooting
No water flow
Check that the main irrigation valve is open, the system is pressurized, and the shrubbler's flow rate is not set to zero. Ensure there are no kinks in the supply tubing.
Uneven watering
Verify that all shrubblers are correctly positioned at the plant base and that the flow rates are appropriately set for each plant's needs. Check for blockages in individual emitters.
Low water pressure
Ensure the overall system pressure is adequate. If pressure is low, consider reducing the number of shrubblers operating simultaneously or checking for leaks upstream.
Shrubbler is difficult to adjust
Gently try to turn the adjustment dial. If stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the dial mechanism. Avoid excessive force.

Cons
- Requires a connected irrigation system (e.g., drip line, hose) to function.
- Flow rate adjustment may require occasional fine-tuning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Connect the shrubbler to your irrigation tubing (e.g., 1/2" or 1/4" drip line, depending on your system and any necessary adapters).
- Secure the shrubbler into the soil using its integrated stake, positioning it near the base of the plant.
- Adjust the flow rate by rotating the top of the shrubbler dial to your desired setting (0-40 L/h).
- Ensure your main irrigation system is connected to a water source and pressure regulator.
Compatibility:
These shrubblers are designed to work with standard low-pressure drip irrigation systems. Ensure your system's tubing size is compatible, or use appropriate adapters. They are suitable for use with tap water and can be connected to timers or controllers for automated watering.
Care:
Periodically check shrubblers for clogs, especially if using non-filtered water. Clean the adjustable dial and the emitter outlet gently with a soft brush or damp cloth if flow appears reduced. Winterize the system by draining all water to prevent freezing damage.
