russell, i'm glad to hear that it's worked well for you. the word that i've gotten from a few installers is that our calcium-rich water plugs up the emitters, but i can't tell if they're being honest or trying to push more costly sprinkler systems. anywho, i'd be very interested in seeing one in situ. email me at during the day today, and we can arrange a visit. many thanks.

I've got some runs set up with flag type drippers that work OK, but after a couple years of trying things with drippers, I'd just use soakers in most cases.
