Vktech® Adjustable Flow Irrigation Drippers 360 Degree Emitter Drip System (50pcs)

These little waterers save so much water it's amazing. I use them primarily in a container garden, so each pot has it's own. I adjust the spray to just cover the surface of the pot and cut the watering time down to 5 minutes. Used in the garden proper, the diameter of the spray is about 2 feet, max., but you ARE watering the part of the plant you really should be watering, the base. The only thing to watch is that the little tops, which open and close the head to widen or diminis the diameter of the flow can come off if opened too far. Not a big deal, as they are easy to put back, just be aware that if opened too far they may pop off eventually during watering. I have a lot of gardens here - I'm on 2 1/2 acres - and I use micro wateres everywhere with battery operated timers (MisterMister makes a good one). The system is easily installed and easily maintained, automatic (you don't have to worry if you go on vacation). These drippers are a wonderful addition, as, since they are very directly watering the plants, your water use is decreased tremendously - improtant in today's world

....you soak end of 1/4" tubing in VERY hot water before attaching to the dripper. I would recommend filling a thermos with boiling water to dip your 1/4" hose into as you assemble your lines. Be very careful you don't spill boiling water on yourself and wear gloves to handle the hot end. Thankfully, I read a lot of reviews and someone had this tip. I found it impossible to get them on the 1/4" tubing without heating it up first. They worked as expected once I remembered this tip and were a much better deal than the Rain Bird brand. I have not encountered any that did not work properly.

They might not be for everyone, but for me worked well. I am ordering now the next batch.They are sprinklers, so they deliver lots of water in the unit of time in radial streams, so area will not be covered uniformly like in better sprinklers. But it is good enough for most applications. They can be shut off completely. There is no much regulation at the low range of flow, so they are not so good in place of regular drippers. However the ability to regulate and shut down the flow is really good and I use them mostly for bigger plants. To the extent that I stopped using small drippers and just use these only for shorter period of time. They also cover larger area which is very good.

This emitter is the best one we have used. This year Home Depot and Low's both carry Rain Bird brand instead of Rain Drip. The price went up from $1.87 for 3 to $4.89 for 4. We got 2 packs of 4 and did not work. One out of 8 has spraying water 360 degrees like the picture. We were lucky to find this brand at Amazon. We got this pack in 3 days. The only thing was missing is this pack did not come with couplings. We had ordered the same pack the day after. The 2nd pack got in 8 days, but came with 50 couplings which is very nice and saved us another at least $10. We are going to order another pack and hoping the 3rd pack. Come with couplings.***Update****Make sure to pick eRiver. eRiver is the only one you can adjust water flow.

These work quite well. They are fully adjustable and connect with 1/4 hosing. I've seen some complaints by others about how difficult it is to connect the hose, but these connect with the same difficulty as other similar products. I make sure the hose sits in the sun to soften a bit before connecting. A firm push with a little added wiggling gets the hose on with sprinkler. I've used the entire pack without a single one breaking. I would definitely buy again if the need arises.

They work pretty well but I did have a problem with some of the heads not producing enough flow. I had so many of them that I was still able to cover the area I was working with so it ended up working ok.

These work well and are a great deal for the price BUT if you get the feeder hose from HD or similar it is a really tight fit and hard to get on to the point of frustration. After putting 2 or 3 of these together your fingers will hurt so take a break.

Exactly what is says. The clicking action when screwing the cap tight, makes it easy to adjust flow properly. They hold well also. The stake is solid plastic. They should work well for at least 2 seasons in the Mid-Atlantic. Combined with the price, there is no better deal on these bubblers. I'm using them with a common 3/4" irrigation pressure reducer, and when opened fully the spread is quite large. Based on the pressure reducer and my common length of 1/4" supply line @ 18", I get ~20" of 360 degree spread.

What value and identical to Hozelock.
