Connections that affect your order

The kit has 50 feet of supply tubing with a female hose-thread (FHT) adapter, a pressure regulator with a filter, and 50 feet of 1/4-inch micro dripline with ½ GPH emitters every 12 inches.

The emitters are not pressure-compensating, so the flow from each one changes with the pressure. Clean the filter in the regulator at the start of every season, the guide says.

Include backflow protection required by your water supplier or local authority. A filter removes particles; it does not automatically provide backflow protection.
