FAQs
What is the maximum flow rate of these shrubblers?
The maximum flow rate is 40 liters per hour.
Can I use these with a timer?
Yes, these shrubblers are designed to work with standard drip irrigation timers and systems. The timer controls the duration of watering, and the shrubbler controls the rate.
How do I adjust the flow rate?
Each shrubbler has an adjustable dial that you can turn to set the desired flow rate between 0 and 40 liters per hour.
What size tubing can these connect to?
They can be directly connected to 1/4” (4-6 mm) feeding tubes or 1/2” (13-16 mm) main tubes.
How often should I clean the shrubblers?
Cleaning frequency depends on your water quality. If you notice reduced flow or inconsistent watering, it's time to clean them. For most systems, checking quarterly is a good practice.
Do these shrubblers work with different spray patterns?
These specific shrubblers are designed for a 360° watering pattern around the base of the plant.
What is the benefit of localized irrigation?
Localized irrigation delivers water directly to the plant's root zone, which reduces water loss through evaporation and runoff, leading to more efficient watering and healthier plants.
Troubleshooting
No water is flowing from the shrubbler.
Check that the main water supply is on. Ensure the shrubbler is properly connected to the tubing and that the flow rate is not set to zero. Inspect for blockages in the water source or tubing.
Water flow is too low or too high.
Adjust the flow rate dial on the shrubbler. Ensure the water pressure in your system is adequate for the desired flow rate. Clean the shrubbler if sediment may be affecting flow.
Uneven watering pattern.
Verify the shrubbler is positioned correctly and is watering the intended area. Ensure the 360° pattern is not obstructed. Check for consistent water pressure throughout the system.
Shrubbler leaks at the connection point.
Ensure the shrubbler is securely pushed into the tubing. If using a main tube, a hole punch might be required for a tight seal. Consider using barbed fittings for extra security if needed.
