Although the history of drip irrigation goes back to the Babylonians, modern drip systems represent one of the most important agricultural innovations of all time.
They can save over 60% of the water used with flood irrigation, increase yields from 20 to 40%, cut labor costs down to almost zero, decrease the expense of big pumps and high electricity bills, decrease fertilizer costs, and maintain a more constant moisture level that increases microbe and soil health.
Because they provide water more slowly, the moisture goes deeper, the roots follow giving them access to more nutrients and making the plants stronger and more healthy.

100 psi Pressure Gauge Kit for 8mm and 3mm Tubing
Description Your ideal pressure gauge all-in-one set to connect to a Blumat or any irrigation system and read the water pressure up to 100 psi. This set comes with all the fittings and items needed to quickly connect the pressure gauge into a system, get a reading, and then quick disconnect it off the system. Or, keep the gauge at the end of your system to always be able to read your pressure.This comes with all fittings to fit perfectly into 3mm, 1/4", 8mm, and 1/2" (male) tubings. Also upon special request, you can substitute the 1/2" male pipe thread fitting for a 3/4" male.Your ideal pressure gauge all-in-one set to connect to a Blumat or any irrigation system and read the water pressure in psi.

Blumat 1/4" 4-Way Cross
Description Make cross connections in 1/4" line. You can use these to send distribution drippers in different directions rather than in a straight line. You can also use them as a more economical distribution method instead of using the drippers. Just cut equal lenghts of 1/4" tubing and spread them around. This requires more maintenance because roots can grow into the tubing but it does save some dollars. This would be our "Economy" design suggestion. The "Mid-Range" version would use the drippers and the "Deluxe" suggestion would be to use more Blumat carrots. This is more expensive but gives you redundancy rather than having all the eggs in one basket.

Water Pressure Gauge (0-100 PSi) Liquid-Filled Gauge
Description 0-100 PSI READING This liquid-filled pressure gauge and psi gauge gives accurate readings in the range of 0-100 psi! WATER PRESSURE TEST GAUGE This gauge can be used to test water pressure, whether in your home, irrigation system, or anywhere else! SCHRADER VALVE COMPATIBLE This gauge reads from Schrader valves, the same valves used with tire pressure gauge(s), tire gauge(s), and air pressure gauge(s)!* (This product does require an additional quick-connect fitting to read directly from Schrader Valves) RELIABLE Unlike digital tire pressure gauge(s), this does not feature any electronic or digital components and is built to last! VERSATILE Can be used as an air gauge, water gauge, water pressure tester, RO pressure gauge, or pool pressure gauge! Instead of having to buy, install, and maintain multiple pressure gauges; use these quick connects to just keep one and quickly test your pressure in many different places. These really help in large filtration systems where you can check before and after the filters to let you know if they need to be cleaned yet or not. The kit includes an oil-filled (so you can use at different angles) 0-100 psi gauge and you can also order the quick connects separately. Liquid-filled pressure gauge. Reads from 0-100 psi. This is ideal for pressure in irrigation tubing=lines using Shrader valves. This product can also be used to detect whether filtration systems require cleaning or not.
