FAQ's

Are drip tape and dripline different types of drip irrigation?

Yes, drip tape is a much thinner, lighter and cheaper version of dripline. Drip tape is used in short term periods while dripline is generally used for longer term periods. Drip tape is not as weather resistant as drip line. Lastly, drip tape suffers from not being pressure compensated, meaning it will be affected by elevation or slopes. This can result in the tape splitting from the pressure.

Can I add my own drippers and emitters to either dripline or driptape?

No! Dripline and Driptape both have specialised drippers built into them. If you puncture these, you will need to replace it. If you want to adjust certain parts of your irrigation to add drippers, sprayers or other sprinklers, consider joining it to a lateral pipe which can be punctured.
