![]() ![]() You can adjust your irrigation schedule to give your plants the exact amount of water they need. The Pot-Dripper gives you total control over your root zone environment. See the Primerus Pot-Dripper Instructions for Installation and Use for more detailed information. Keep supply pressure at 15 psi for non-compensating operation or between 15 and 50 psi if using a Hub Emitter. Only one hub emitter barb is the right size to fit the spaghetti tube, so you can’t make a mistake. If you are using a Hub Emitter, instead cut the starting end of the 1/8” tube at 90°, place it on the output barb of the Hub Emitter, and insert the Hub Emitter into the hole you have punched in the lateral. If you choose to use a hub emitter, select the right one from the same table. Simply choose a ring diameter that’s right for your container using the Table 1. When used with a Hub Emitter the flow of each Pot-Dripper ring is set by the hub emitter. Without a Hub Emitter, the flow rate of each Pot-Dripper is determined by the tubing ring diameter as shown in Table 1. Conventional nursery and tree farms tend to favor the non-compensating configuration, while cannabis growers usually opt for a hub emitter because the CNL feature lends itself to high frequency irrigation. You can use the Pot-Dripper as a simple non-compensating device or combine it with a Hub Emitter for pressure compensating CNL operation. Low cost compatible with large growing operations.Shut-off feature to turn flow off when a container is removed from service.Easily removed from plant, regardless of trunk diameter.Long, 8” stake to securely anchor in the media.Ability to use non-compensating or as a Compensating Non-Leak (CNL) device.High quality, clog resistant drippers, one dripper per 2-inches of diameter.Important and unique features of the Pot-Dripper Drip Ring include: The Pot-Dripper provides the best overall package of functionality and price for precision container irrigation. In the past several years several commercial versions have become available such as the Netafim NetBow and the Hydro Flow Rain Ring, which lack the flexibility and features of the Pot-Dripper and in some cases are expensive. While very effective, they had the disadvantages of requiring an anchor to keep them stable in media, and needing to be cut (and destroyed) to remove the ring from the container. The earliest drip rings were “home-made” versions using a ¼” barbed Tee and a ring of ¼” dripline. ![]() ![]() Drip rings have been used for years by quality-conscious growers on high value container crops. ![]()
