FAQs
What is the flow rate of the Gardena Endline Drip Head?
The Gardena Endline Drip Head has a fixed flow rate of 2 litres per hour.
Do I need any other parts to use these drip heads?
Yes, these drip heads are part of the Gardena Micro-Drip system and require a Master Unit, supply pipe (13 mm), and potentially connectors and a timer for a complete irrigation setup.
How do I clean the drip head?
You can clean the drip head using the included cleaning needle. Gently detach the drip head and insert the needle into the nozzle to remove any debris or mineral build-up.
Can I adjust the water flow rate?
The flow rate is pre-set at 2 litres per hour and cannot be adjusted on the drip head itself. For different watering needs, you would use multiple drip heads or explore other emitter types within the Micro-Drip system.
Where should I place the drip heads?
Place the drip heads near the base of the plant, directly at the root zone, to ensure efficient water delivery and minimize evaporation.
How many drip heads are included in a set?
The Gardena Endline Drip Heads are typically delivered in sets of 25.
What is the benefit of using drip irrigation?
Drip irrigation delivers water directly to the plant roots, significantly reducing water waste through evaporation and runoff, leading to water conservation and healthier plants.
Troubleshooting
Drip head not releasing water
Ensure the drip head is properly connected to the supply pipe and that the Micro-Drip system is pressurized. Check for any blockages in the system or the drip head itself. Use the cleaning needle to clear the nozzle.
Water output seems too low or too high
The flow rate is fixed at 2 litres/hour. If output is consistently too low, check for sediment. If too high for your needs, consider using more drip heads for larger areas or a different type of emitter for very specific watering requirements. Ensure the system pressure is within the recommended range for the Micro-Drip system.
Drip head leaks at connection point
Re-seat the drip head onto the supply pipe, ensuring it is pushed on firmly and straight. If the pipe is old or stiff, gently warm it with warm water to make it more pliable. Consider using a Gardena pipe clamp if persistent leaking occurs.
