Drip Irrigation
I installed drip irrigation and need some help with a problem.
I have (from faucet) backflow preventer, filter, pressure regular, hose thread to 1/2" poly tubing. The 1/2 polytubing is the distribution and runs about 80 ft. There are about 30 places where I have 1/4 dripline coming off and running to plants. Each run of 1/4 is 4 ft max. The dripline is rated to 30psi and I used a 25 PSI regulator. So, turn on the water and instead of the 1/4 drip line dripping - it sprays water 3 ft in the air. I change to a 15PSI regulator - same deal, water sprays a little less but still shooting a stream and not dripping. I change to a 10PSI regulator- same deal. What have I done wrong, why is this stuff spraying and not dripping? Thanks for any help. |
