Thanks everyone for your questions and answers! As a newbie gardener, I learned a lot from both!
Learned from experience: Never try to insert goof plugs or emitters in hot tubing! The main tubing must be cool to the touch so that the emitter or goof plug POPS IN, else with a hot tubing, the attempt usually fails because the tubing just bends/flattens during your insertion attempt and you will usually end up with a big leak.
In zone 6 do I need to do anything to winterize my tubing
is all drip emitters suppose to all drip at the same time? Because if one drop before the other, the one dripping first would get more water. How do I fix or what do I need to add to make sure all of them drip the same time. My water source is from an artesian well with hose Bibb connected with a pressure regular 25 psi. Emitters are pressure compensated 2gph.
HI SIR, you please suggest me a best drip emitter that emits even in tough mud..?
U put the emmiter, the green colored, towards the water line. It should be placed the other way. Black line to black side of the emmiter. If it's pressure compensating that's the way to place it. Js👊🏻
Good
In my case the drippers are going to end up in pots. So the main line will be on the ground and drippers connected via the 4mm connecter tube will be in pots. Will the height difference between the main line and the dripper head make any difference?
I don't know if you still care but no it won't matter
Great
We are having leaks in most of the couplings. We have been drilling the holes with small bit and tried the smallest one. Also tried with the tube hot and cold (coz cold were leaking) and seemed to be working better if done hot.
Is the reason coz of drilling instead of puncturing?
It's likely the drilled holes are larger that spec and thus the leaking. We'd have to get more info to be sure. Please send us your contact info via one of the social media channels in the video descriptions and our support team will get in touch.

WHAT ???
how do you figure if you have enough water pressure to get the water to your plant?
Rarely is water pressure a problem for drip irrigation because drip requires such low pressure. But if you wanted to make sure, you could purchase a pressure gauge (such as this one: www.orbitonline.com/product/pressure-gauge/) and if you have at least 5 psi, you'll be good. Of course, the more drip emitters you add, the more pressure you would need.
how do you remove the dripper to replace with another dripper? Anyone?
If we're talking about the barb into the 1/2-inch main line, then they should just pull out with some force. For the 1/4-inch line, in most cases those are so firmly inserted that they will not pull out. Fastest thing is to snip the 1/4-inch tubing off near the dripper. You can also try hitting the tubing with heat (blow-dryer or heat gun) for a few seconds, to soften the tubing.
@@orbitsprinklers I ended up just cutting the line. You were right though, thanks for the feedback
Super
My barb couplings all leak at the main line?
Is this a question?
@@dan8250 yes
@Dan I find they leak where connected into the main line. I screw them in as you should, but they still leak. How can I fix the problem
I don't use many small hoses because I put my plants under the main hose. I have a problem with clogged emitters even though I have a filter. I wish it was easier to replace bad emitters instead of punching new holes.
Why not just remove the clogged emitter and replace it at the end of the tube with a non-clogged one?
What's the name of that part connected to the timer ?
Too bad almost everything on your website is out of stock.
How to control flow of water?
use pressure compensating drippers, they have a set volume per hour whatever the pressure is. (within a proper range, i.e. 5 to 40 PSI) you often find them at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6 , 8 GPH
One of the best online store is Dripdepot.com.

Air relief valve at the end of the line to purge out the air and allow emitters at the end to quickly get water w/o being airlocked.
