La Farah 50pcs Drip Emitters

I just installed these on my balcony container garden and would probably give it a six-star review in comparison to others I've used over the years. Two key advantages: (1) only one part per spigot; and (2) adjustability. (1) One Part Only. My old system (two different brands over ~12 years) was ridiculous in retrospect requiring a piece of tubing to the water source mounted to the flow restrictor, then mounting another piece of tubing on the other side of the flow restrictor, then a spigot protector thingie on the end, and finally an awkward clip-on spike to keep in in place. These ones require you to simply plug the emitter into the tubing, shove it into the ground, and boom you're done. (2) Adjustability. My small container garden has a lot of separate emitters on a single, branched water supply. Different heights, tubing lengths, distance from water source, number of spigots on each chain = massively-varying water pressure across the system. Other systems require you to choose between different but fixed gpm emitters. If one area has too much or too little water, your only option then is to either cut out the emitter and replace, or splice in an extra emitter. For these La Farah emitters, you just do a simple twist to get the right flow. Tips for setup: get your whole chain of tubing and emitters set up and mounted into your garden as you want them set up, then turn on the water supply. Although the sprinkler umbrella pattern looks great, you want to focus on getting the right amount of water to your plants. I use a flow reducer to 25psi to reduce strain on tubing and reduce risk of water hammer and blowout. Starting near the water source, adjust the hard-spraying ones back by twisting until you're getting decent flow at the far end. Pressure drops the further you are from the source and the more emitters on the chain, so if you have the emitters wide open at the beginning, there won't be much pressure left for the plants at the far end. Just one minor caveat: if you have stiff 1/4" tubing, the barb is a bit tough to get on and your hands will tire out. If your tubing is softer/more flexible, it will be a piece of cake. The good news is that it's never going to fall off once it's on. Tip: you can stretch the opening a bit by shoving the spiked bottom of the spigot into the tubing before putting the barb in the tubing. If you have the patience, dipping in hot water or doing in full, hot sun will soften the tubing, making it easier.

I was looking for some simple low pressure watering heads for my garden. Something a step up from drip irrigation, but not as powerful or wasteful as some of the more high end irrigation systems that are more suited for watering your lawn or bushes. Do not be fooled by the "drip emitters" in the title, they are more useful than a simple drip head, although you can adjust them down to a simple drip if that is what you are looking for. In my case I have them set so they saturate the soil around my plants so they provide more a deep watering, without splashing up on the leaves. In the video I included it shows the test run before I added my plants to the garden so make sure I was getting the coverage that I needed. I am using 28 of the heads, and have not had a single one that did not work. The drip holes are big enough that if you do happen to have a clog, a standard toothpick will fit and will unclog the opening. I have only had to do that a few times when the neighborhood squirrels decided it would be a good idea to dig around and inadvertently bury a few of the heads. I have been using them for about 2 months now, and they are still working perfectly with almost daily watering use. Pros: - Simple to use - Affordable for the number of heads you get - Good quality control - 1/4" connection makes them compatible with most watering systems - Can be used in open garden or grow bags - You can turn off a head so that you are not wasting water Cons: - Some are open, some are closed when you receive them. Need to pay attention to that during installation - They do not have any sediment filtering but at this price point that is not on usual - No way to set them only to deliver a "mist" but again, that is not what they are designed for.

These work well, had a bigger spray pattern than I was expecting even with a 40 psi reducer on it I still had to do a small adjustment on the amount of flow I had going to them. Overall good product for the price, hopefully they last awhile.

Easy to install and works as advertised

Like others have said. These work well. Great adjustable application level from drip to wide circular spray (for me about 3'). Easy clean out if clogged by opening closing. The feeder barb is tight for a hard plastic feeder tube. I take a #2 Phillips screwdriver, heat it with a torch 2 seconds, shove it in the feeder tube than onto the barb. It shrinks a little when it cools and stays on under the limited drip pressure I use (5 psi ). Great value. I use in the same main lines as drip tape. So I can feed different varieties whether row or hill with same main lines. 30x60 garden, all with one garden hose to a timer split into 4 main 3/4" supplies into a mix of drip tape or these emitters. Reuse year after year.

They are very "cheap quality", break easily but for price and bulk, it is worth it. They work well. Just be careful when assembling to water line and you'll be fine.

They stay at one setting.You cannot turn them one way or the other

They were exactly as described

Its not worthed wast product dont but it that much is not correct it actually to high

Just perfect for our garden irrigation system. No over spray and no water wastage. Excellent value for money. Very happy with this product

Good quality. Works as intended. I will be buying more.

The built on stake is very useful for positioning. The flow rate can be very high or just a dribble, so it is easy to combine different sized containers on one system, or to water large areas. These are terminal fitting, no flow-through. For dribbling, you can tee several of these of a 4mm tube. It takes a lot of water at high flow - wide spray so each then needs its own 4mm tube from a larger (13mm) supply pipe.

Perfect for pots and great for garden beds.
