Description
Drippers are available in three different versions:
The Flood Dripper is an unrestricted dripper for use in a system where the flow of water has been through some kind of pressure regulator, or in smaller systems where equal pressure is likely anyway.
The Arrow Dripper is a 2 litre per hour regulated dripper for use with Wilma systems and any non-free-draining growing media.
The Octa-Mitter is an adjustable flow dripper.
Drippers are sold individually.

How to use
Pick the dripper for your system:
- Flood Dripper: full, unrestricted flow. Use it after a pressure regulator, or in a small system where the pressure is about the same at every plant.
- Arrow Dripper: 2 litres per hour, for Wilma systems and for growing media that hold water rather than drain freely.
- Octa-Mitter: turn it to set the flow.
- Astra: pressure compensated, at 2 or 8 litres per hour.
An inline filter after the tank stops drippers blocking. More parts are in dripper systems.
Questions
Which dripper should I use in a Wilma system?
The Arrow Dripper, which is regulated at 2 litres per hour.
Are the drippers sold in packs?
No, they are sold individually, so order one per plant (or per outlet).
How do I stop drippers blocking?
Fit an inline filter straight after the tank so large particles are caught before they reach the drippers.
