Rain Bird SW20-30PS Drip Irrigation Spot Watering Dripper/Emitter, 2 Gallon Per Hour, 30-Pack,Red/Black

I had another brand of red emitters that I was trying to use. Then I got a couple bags of these and the contrast was extreme. Each time those failed, these worked. They were also much easier to install.One of the things I appreciate is that the emitter is slightly off-center - this provides a large flat area to the side of the emitter top that lets me get pliers onto and makes popping the emitter in place much easier.

I couldn’t find these in the store so it was great to be able to get them online.

The media could not be loaded. I am impressed with the quality of this product. It is easy to assemble and works just as it is supposed to.I really recommend and probably will purchase again when I increase my orchard.

Good quality but a little expensive.

Works great, better value than brick stores, fits with 1/4" drip irrigation line.

Great pack! Love having extra on hand for when needed.

I purchased .5 gph emitters for a very large project to convert my 1800 series sprinkler heads to drip systems. I live in San Antonio, Texas and my water bill was out of control. I bought the Rain Bird sprinkler caps (1800CAPS Spray Head Cap for 1800 Series Sprinklers) to close off the sprinklers so I didn't have to remove them. I bought the Rain Bird Drip Irrigation Conversion Kit (Model #RCKIT-1PS), at Lowes, and used one sprinkler for the conversion kit. I have over 27 sprinkler zones with 500 sprinkler heads to cap for my many plant beds. Also, I have very high water pressure. The local water company will give rebates for the conversion but require the .5 gph emitters. These emitters are pressure compensating and have to be installed in a specific manner. The black pointed tip has to be connected to the half inch or quarter inch tubing with the blue tip emitting the water. If you use the blue tip in the tubing, water will not come out. It is one way directional. I've had a few fail even when installed correctly. I've used the non-water pressure compensating Rain Drip .5 gph BUE05 and it doesn't matter which end is inserted into the tubing. Water flows either way. I've read the reviews about the inconsistent flow rates. I haven't experienced it but it may be because my water pressure is so high. Not sure. So far mine are working properly but I keep a close eye on my plants to see if .5 gph is sufficient for the plant's needs. The wood stakes & barbed wire around some plants in the plant bed photo (3rd photo) are my creation to keep wild hogs from digging up my newly planted plants. It works very well.

Works as advertised
