Title: Tips on Drip Irrigation
Author: Drip Depot Staff

Helpful Hints

If this is the first time you are installing a drip or micro sprinkler system, we recommend trying one of our drip irrigation kits. Each kit contains everything you will need to install a working drip irrigation system. All of the parts are available separately to add on later.

  • The ideal working pressure for your drip or micro sprinkler system is 25 psi, but most systems will operate fine between 15 and 30 psi. Use a pressure regulator to reduce high pressure. Install pressure regulator after your filter.
  • Allowing the 1/2" poly tube to sit in the sun will make it easier to work with.
  • If you are having difficulty inserting your 1/4" barbs into 1/4" micro tube, dipping the micro tube into warm water will make it more pliable. You can also heat the ends of the tubing using a hair dryer.
