Drip Lines Explained

• Drip irrigation lines use small 1/4-inch plastic tubes to deliver water directly to the roots of plants. These systems require very little water pressure or volume to properly water plants. Drip lines can be retrofit onto existing sprinkler heads or installed as a standalone irrigation system. Drip lines require the use of a pressure regulator to ensure the lines are not overcharged with water. You can also attach micro sprinklers to the end of the lines, which require little water pressure to spray water over distances of up to 10 feet.
