I have about 600 feet of dripmist line (5 different circuits) with about 150
emitters and it works great. I water everything from trees to shrubs,
flowers, vines, etc. The only thing that I suggest is that you check each
emitter about once a month as they do get clogged up every so often. I am
on a well so don't know about city water. I get most of my stuff from Home
Depot but occasionally order special emitters off the internet. Go for it
the stuff really works.

I use them on my vegetable beds. Pressure regulators can cure the
overpressure. (the ones I use are simple, mechanical flow limiters).

I keep a dozen or so emitters in a bag in the greenhouse and pull
ones on the hoses that are clogged (general crap in the water as well
as "liming up") It pays to use a good filter for the crap and a jar
of vinegar takes care of the lime after you pull the emitter.

I don't use electrical valves except when I am traveling. Too many
past problems.

FWIW, my stuff is all Submatic brand.
