DIG GD50 Dripline Watering Kit is one of the easiest drip irrigation systems to install. Simply lay out the dripline and connect it to your water source. The dripline kit includes 50′ of dripline with sophisticated cylindrical pre-inserted 1 GPH pressure compensating (PC) drippers every 18″ for quick and easy installation, starting it from a 1/2″ sprinkler riser. The drip kit is ideal for narrow plantings, roses, flowerbeds and groundcover. Each dripper is pressure compensating between 10 and 45 PSI, assuring excellent flow uniformity and providing a consistent flow throughout the length of the line.

About the GD50 PC Dripline Watering Kit
The GD50 pressure compensating (PC) Dripline Kit contains all the parts needed to retrofit a 1/2″ sprinkler riser into a drip irrigation system covering up to 150 sq ft of planted area. It can be extended to a maximum of 600′ with additional PC dripline with the same spacing and flow rate. The kit can be used to apply water directly to the root zone area of the plant, reducing water waste from evaporation and run off, pest problems and weed growth. It contains pressure compensating, self-cleaning drippers, ensuring a constant flow rate from each dripper at 10 to 45 PSI, regardless of any elevation along the line. The PC dripline can be used to irrigate individual plants or closely spaced groups of plants within the layout. This kit can be connected to a garden hose and contains all the parts required to install a complete system. It can be installed as a stand-alone system starting from a 1/2″ sprinkler riser or standard outdoor faucet. The dripline kit can be used to water trees, shrubs, vines, roses, flowerbeds, groundcover and narrow planting areas. It can also be installed next to foundations to prevent slab damage. Follow the steps suggested below to install an efficient drip irrigation system.
Detailed Installation Steps:
Assess the areas to be watered. While large areas such as lawns are best watered by pop-up sprinklers, other areas, such as shrubs, trees, roses, groundcovers, individual plants or narrow odd shaped areas, can be irrigated more efficiently by using the PC dripline.
Watering
Open the system valve for 45 minutes to 1 hour every two to three days, depending on your location, weather and soil type. Faster draining, lighter soils will need to be irrigated more frequently than heavy soils with high clay content. After a week or two, check the soil and the health of the plants, and adjust the watering schedule as needed. If you have an irrigation controller and additional time is required, adjust the irrigation controller program with longer watering duration and/or additional start times.
