One final question... does anyone know whether the color of the
plastic emitter (barely visible in the tiny holes in the 1/2" black
plastic tubing) indicates the flow rate of the emitters? I started
off with a drip-line using green emitters, then inadvertantly replaced
damaged sections with drip-line using yellow emitters. The yellow
ones don't seem to work nearly as well, yet they're all I can find in
the stores now. To date, my e-mailed inquirey to RainBird has gone
unanswered.

Thanks for the input, Warren, but the emitters I'm referring to are
built in to the lengths of drip line hose, not the ones you punch into
regular plastic tubing. I'm pretty sure they have a different
color-coding for the built-in emitters. Otherwise, each time I've
watered over the last two years I've splashed around 30 gallons of
water on my plants! (Funny, I don't remember putting in a pool back
here.)

Thanks!
