Installing micro spray emitters is an excellent method for achieving even coverage in small areas, particularly in annual flower beds. They can be added directly to existing lateral lines, but be cautious: there's no built-in filter. If you install this directly to an unfiltered zone, it may get clogged. While you might get away without a filter for micro sprays or bubblers, it's highly recommended for drip emitters to prevent clogging.
Use a separate 1/4" connection for each micro spray emitter. This is crucial because they require a large volume of water at a single point. A 1/4" tube is typically unable to supply more than one micro spray emitter effectively.
Stretch out your sprinkler emitter tubing and stake it in place. This ensures it will be the proper length to reach the micro spray emitter you're installing.
After cutting the tubing to the proper length, press it firmly onto the provided connector. Note that each brand may have a different setup and slightly different connector. Work with what's available in your area.
Press micro spray emitters firmly into the ground or bury as needed for your specific application.
This image shows an example of a stake style micro spray emitter, which is commonly used in many installations.
Here's another example of installation. Remember to press firmly into the ground or bury as needed for your specific landscape requirements.
After installation, test the micro spray emitters. Adjust as needed to ensure optimal coverage for your plants.
Make final adjustments to your micro spray emitters as needed. Ensure they're providing the right amount of water coverage for your plants' needs.
