Micro Drip Irrigation

Do I need to use the FloraFlex pots alongside FloraFlex drip lines/irrigation or can I use any pot?
Do I need to use the FloraFlex pots alongside FloraFlex drip lines/irrigation or can I use any pot?
What size pump do I need for the Micro Drip System?
Refer to this chart for recommended pumps based on Max Assemblies per Zone.
What other components would I need to set up any irrigation system that you sell?
Varies with setup, but the common items would be: ● Reservoir ● Timer or Irrigation controller (If using Nylon Valves or Solenoids) ● Pump ● Grow tray if not using PotPro Platforms. ● Pvc Pipe and Pvc fittings will vary with setup. See How To Grow section of the website for different/relevant infographics.
What is the inside diameter of the tubing used with the micro dripper assemblies?
Should I put my filter before or after the Nylon Valve?
Place the filter on the outlet of the Nylon Valve.
What is the inside diameter of the Double Layer Tubing?
Place the filter on the outlet of the Nylon Valve.
Optimal psi with all of our systems is between 25-35psi.
What is the outside diameter of the Double Layer Tubing?
How long do I run my FloraFlex irrigation system for?
This will vary with different systems, we recommend placing the drip lines/stakes that would go to one of the plants into a measuring cup, and see how long it takes to achieve your desired volume per feed or irrigation event. At this point you can set your irrigation strategy, please see Crop Steering under the How To Grow section of the website for more insight.
Why is the outer layer of the 16/17mm double layer tubing white?
It helps deflect light and keeps the temperature roughly 5° cooler inside of the tubing.
What are the differences between the Micro Drip instead of the Bubbler system?
1. Micro dripper systems are geared towards low volume, high frequency irrigation strategies. We do not recommend running organics or thicker nutrients through this system. 2. Open flow systems are geared towards those wanting to simulate hand watering without hand watering. Higher volume, lower frequency irrigation strategies. Organics and/or thicker nutrients can be used with this setup.
Why is the inner layer of the 16/17mm double layer tubing black?
It blocks light and prevents algae build up which would otherwise clog your emitters.
Should I install a pressure gauge in my irrigation system?
Yes, installing a pressure gauge at the end of your zone can ensure that the system is running efficiently and within PSI ratings.
What material is the 16/17mm Double Layer Tubing made of?
BPA and lead-free polyethylene.
Is the double layer tubing UV resistant?
Is the double layer tubing UV resistant?
What GPH rating is our Micro Drip Emitter?
.5 or ½ GPH.
Are the Micro Dripper Assemblies pressure compensating?
What is the max flow rate per lateral or single line run of the 16/17mm Double Layer Tubing?
What is the max flow rate of a closed loop using the 16/17mm Double Layer Tubing?
What is the flow rate of the 1-Way Assembly?
.5 or ½ GPH
