Control dripper output and create a unique irrigation system by simply twisting the in-body key. Value up to 60% cheaper than some leading brands.
Solutions that Work
For Top Tips on how to build a Micro Drip System tailored to your garden, read our Buyers Guide.
Easily adjust water output by turning the built-in winged key by hand – no tools required. Drippers can be turned off when not in use by turning the key as far as it will go clockwise. To increase the output, turn the key anti-clockwise half a turn per litre. Fully compatible with Water Butt Irrigation Systems and ideal for use in a garden irrigation system where plants require varying amounts of water.
Install directly into the wall of LDPE pipe or offtake from irrigation pipe using 4mm micro-pipe installed via a joiner. Use a ground stake to secure in place so water droplets are accurately delivered. Keep your drippers in tiptop condition by fully unscrewing the in-built key from the dripper and clean in a bucket of water before reassembling.
To protect against blockages, the drippers are equipped with an internal patterned labyrinth designed to maximise turbulence. This unique labyrinth forces water to spin and whirl around the dripper to ensure water is constantly moving. Ensuring particles do not have a chance to settle inside the dripper, protects against sediment build-up that leads to clogging.
Suitable for watering your vegetable patch as the dripper is manufactured from UV Stabilised polypropylene to ensure a longer life and prevent against deterioration when exposed to sunlight.
Adjustable drippers work most efficiently at water pressures around 1 bar – use a Pressure Reducer at the start of your system to regulate the pressure to the optimal level.
Using a micro-drip system not only saves time but also uses up to 90% less water than manual watering and sprinkler systems. Drippers can be positioned to deliver water with pinpoint accuracy directly to the roots of the plant. Automate your irrigation system by installing a Water Timer so you can irrigate your garden even when you are on holiday!
Micro Drippers Frequently Asked Questions
Use an Irrigation filter at the start of your system to prevent naturally occurring sediment from clogging dripper outlets.
Drippers that Prevent Blockages
Drippers with a Check Valve prevent calcification of the internal pipe by keeping water in the system after it is switched off.
Self-Flushing Drippers have a turbulent flow patterned labyrinth preventing sediment from settling and flushing out unwanted debris.
Common Problems
Components used to build a Micro Drip system are often inexpensive with a small system starting from around £24.
HydroSure Drippers, Pipe and Connectors are a built-to-last and cost-effective solution manufactured from durable UV-stabilised plastic offering resistance to deterioration from direct sunlight and harsh weather conditions.
Yes, simply connect the additional pipe using a Barbed or Nut Lock Joiner. Alternatively, 4mm Joiners and Micro Pipe can be used to tap into the wall of the LDPE Pipe to take drippers up to 10 metres away from the main supply.
No, hose pipe is manufactured from flexible PVC that when punctured to insert a Micro Dripper frays the surface and does not create a watertight seal.
Instead, insert Micro Drippers into the wall of Irrigation Pipe. LDPE Pipe has a rigid wall that a Micro Dripper can lock into. Alternatively, use alongside Micro Pipe for installations up to 10 metres away from the main supply.
HydroSure Micro Drippers are manufactured from high-quality polypropylene and silicone to ensure longer-lasting durability. For this reason, Drippers can remain in position over the winter months.
Top Tip: Avoid the impact of thawing and freezing by removing the End Caps or using a Valve in place of an end piece. Run water through the system for around 2 minutes to flush out any debris.
Both Drippers and Drip Line regulate water flow based on the plant’s water consumption requirements. Whilst Drip Line is easier to set up, Micro Drippers enable flexible placement flower beds, planters, hanging baskets and pots rather than being confined to the pre-set spacings of Drip Line.
