Which watering kit covers your beds?

Enter your beds: every kit is checked against the coverage its maker states. Then check the one you like against your faucet pressure, tubing route and connections.

Your beds

8 of 9 kits are stated to cover this bed.

Coverage is each maker’s own statement. A kit marked “Check” is made for the bed arrangements in its manual; the checker below tests yours.

Your bed and watering kit

Measure the tubing to the beds, the main line inside them and the drip runs separately. Lengths are in feet; pressure is in PSI.

Three parts of the water route

  1. At the sourceStarter: timer, filter and hose connection kit
  2. To the bed16 mm main tubing: 50 ft
  3. At the plantsManifold and eight separate drip tapes

Follow the selected kit’s own instructions for installation order. Backflow protection is a separate check; a filter does not replace it.

Check the kit against your plan

Enter what you have measured and leave unknown measurements blank. The result separates bed fit, included tubing, pressure and connection checks.

Plan the water route and parts list

Start with the connection you have

Measure the tubing route along the path it will take, including corners. The distance from the faucet to the bed uses different tubing from the emitter runs inside the bed. For Rain Bird, the manual allows a garden hose before the regulator when the kit is too far from the faucet.

The tool checks the selected kit’s documented layout and included parts. A Rain Bird layout can serve multiple small beds within its 32-square-foot combined coverage; the manual gives exact examples. It does not calculate a watering schedule or prove that several kits running together will get enough flow.
