We suggest installing a pressure regulator after the filter. What could be wrong if emitters and fittings won't hold tight and keep coming off? If there is no filter present in the system, your drip devices may be clogged from debris present in the water source being distributed throughout the system. Once it is cleaned of debris you can replace it back in the filter body and reinstall it. You can take apart the filter body to remove the screen inside, once that is done, clean the screen by scrubbing it with a soft brush and rinsing it. As the screen catches debris from the water source, it creates a blockage, stopping the flow and pressure from the water source. If a filter is present on the system, the screen inside of it may be dirty. What could be wrong if less and less water is coming out of my system? If the leak persists, replace the O-ring or see whether there is another source for the leak. Re-assemble the filter and put it back in service. Open the filter by unscrewing the center of the body, remove the O-ring, and clean it, the groove it sits in and the surface it mates against. What if water is leaking from the body of my filter? The system’s flow needs could be met if you set up the system with 2, 3/4' mainline zones, and only ran 300, 1 GPH emitters at one time on a zone. You would need to split the system into two watering zones, and water one zone at a time. If you used a 3/4' line, with a 300 GPH flow rate from the water source, only 300 GPH out of the 600 GPH needed would be met. If you had that amount of emitters on a 1/2' line, then only 240 GPH out of the 600 GPH needed would be met, causing malfunctions to the system.

If you used a 3/4' line, since you don’t have the full 480 GPH needed to fill that line completely, your flow budget would be restricted to the 300 GPH that you have available.Īs an example, if you calculate that in total on your system you have 600, 1 GPH emitters installed, that would mean that the system demands 600 GPH in order to operate correctly. Once you know how many GPH your water source has, that info will assist in calculating how many drip devices you can use at once and what mainline tubing size may be most appropriate.Īs an example, if you did the flow test and found that you had 300 GPH available, that means that you can max out a 1/2' mainline (240 GPH), or partially fill a 3/4' mainline (480 GPH).ĭespite the fact that you have 300 GPH, if you use a 1/2' mainline, your flow budget for the system would be restricted to 240 GPH. You can do this by doing a simple test at your spigot with a bucket and a stop watch. For example, 10, 1 GPH emitters would use 10 GPHĪnother important thing you must do is do a flow test to see how many GPH you have available at your water source. You will need to add the total flow rates of the water dispensing devices on the line. Another symptom of this is that you find that some watering devices throughout the system drip but some do not. There's a good chance your system demands more water than your line can carry. What if water comes out at the beginning of the system but not at the end?

There are steps that can be taken to troubleshoot this valve issue. What do I do when a valve won't shut off?
