Know before you buy
No, the system requires you to split the 2,000 feet into two separate zones. Because the total flow rate is approximately 400 GPH, most residential water sources cannot support the entire system at once without a significant drop in pressure.
This kit is designed to connect to a standard outdoor spigot. It includes a 10 PSI pressure regulator, which is essential for preventing the drip tape from bursting under standard household water pressure.
The 15 mil drip tape is durable enough for seasonal use, but it is generally considered a semi-permanent component. While it can be carefully removed and stored, most gardeners treat it as a seasonal item that is replaced every year or two depending on soil conditions and handling.
The kit includes a punch tool for the mainline tubing, so you won't need specialized irrigation tools. You will only need a pair of scissors or a utility knife to cut the tubing to your desired lengths.
Yes, you can easily add a battery-operated hose-end timer to your spigot at any time. It will screw directly onto your faucet before the filter and pressure regulator assembly.
The kit includes hold-down stakes specifically designed to secure the drip tape to the ground. These prevent the tape from shifting out of position or being displaced by wind and garden activity.
