Hope someone can help! I’m trying to install a ring of drippers ( as per instruction manual ) to zone 2 of my WaterMate Pro.
I’ve set it up using a barbed connector into the LDPE pipe. Then a short length of hose to connect to a t-adapter which marks the start and end of the ring. See photo below.
Is that correct? I ask because the water doesn’t seem to be able to get beyond the first ( of six ) drippers!
It looks like you’ve connected the next run of pipe to the dropper outlet. If you remove the dropper and place a T connector with a small run of pipe off that to the dripper, then run the next bit of pipe to another T connector with a short section of pipe to another dripper etc.
We've done a couple of experiments here and it seems that a more linear configuration works better, so set your hose out in a straight line with a stopper at the end and the bend as needed.
Hope this helps

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
