2Pressure Reducer
Reduces water pressure delivered from the mains tap to your
system, to ensure optimal performance. An integrated filter
prevents dirty water affecting dripper performance.
Connect the Pressure Regulator to the hose using one of the
methods below:
•AttachtheSupplyTubeusingthe13mmadaptor.
•Replacethe13mmadaptorwitha4mmadaptorandpush
the Micro Tube through the centre.

B - Pipeline
Pipeline
This can be cut and adapted to create your ideal watering
system layout. It efficiently carries water from the main
supply and delivers it to your plants via a network of drippers.
3Supply Tube
A large 13mm tube used to transport water around medium
to large systems. Create the network using Elbows (5),
T-Connectors (6), Straight Connectors (12) and End Plugs (7).
Secure in place using Stakes (8) and Wall clips (10).
Note: No one length of Supply Tube should be more than
25m long, or 50m if run in a ring back to the tap.

4Micro Tube
A small flexible 4mm tube used to transport water around
small systems, or to take water from the Supply Tube to the
plants in larger systems. Connect to the Supply Tube using a
Straight Connector (12) or split the flow using a T-Connector
(11). Secure in place using Wall Clips (13).
Note: No one length of Micro Tube should be more than
15m long.

14 Hole Punch
Use to make holes in the Supply Tube for accessories and for
joints with the Micro Tube. Use hexagonal slot in the back of
the hole punch to tighten the drippers into the tube and to
remove them. Seal unwanted holes with Blanking Plugs (9).

Occasional slight leakage can occur from the Supply Tube /
Micro Tube connection point. This usually seals over time, but
ensure the fitting is correctly inserted at a 90º angle.
C - Drippers
Drippers can be fitted either directly onto the Supply Tube or
to the end of the Micro Tube.
15 End-of-Line Dripper
A multi functional dripper, delivers a steady flow of water to
your plants and veg patches at a rate of 4 litres per hour.

easily secured into place and discreetly delivers water to your
pots and borders at a rate of 4 litres per hour.

Calculating the capacity of the system
If fitting a large system, calculate the flow from the supply,
and therefore how many accessories the flow will support:
•Usingapressureregulatorwiththetapfullyon,timein
seconds how long it will take to fill a bucket of known
volume in litres.
•Multiplythenumberoflitresinyourbucketby3600,and
divide by the number of seconds it took to fill. This will give
you your maximum flow rate of litres per hour.
•Eachdripperhasagivenflowrate,thetotalwater
requirement of all the drippers that you use added together
should not exceed the maximum flow rate.
E.g.:
•A9litrebucketisfilledin15seconds
•9litresx3600=42400
•42400/15seconds=2160
Micro jets use 55 L/H therefore with a maximum flow of 2160
the maximum number usable would be 39 (2160/55).
If more drippers are required than the maximum flow permits,
separate the system into sections that can be run at different
times. If you wish to automate this you will need more than
one water computer.
Maintenance
At the end of the season, open all flow control valves and
removeendsleeves.Flushwithwatertoclean,andthen
drain to avoid frost damage. Remove the pressure regulator
and water computer and store away from frost. All drippers
may be dismantled for cleaning. Soak in an equal mixture of
vinegar and water to remove any residues.
