ADJUSTING DRIP SPEED

Many who have bought large drippers complain that the plastic nozzle is difficult to adjust to get a slow and steady drip. I agree with their comments. But there is a simple solution. Go to the pet store and buy a 3 or 4 way stainless steel valve and a few feet of green silicone tubing. They are readily available in the aquarium department. Cut a piece of tubing and connect one end to the black plastic tubing and the other end to the valve. Cut the extra hose to the desired length and attach it to the valve. Fill the dripper with water, turn the faucet to the wide open position, point the tube where you want the dripper to go, and adjust the flow rate with the valve. Now you can have as many drippers as you have valves. For added security and to prevent accidental pulling on the hose and dislodging the connection, attach it to each connection. Fishing line is good for this.
