Hunter Dripline Flowrates

Hunter offers a variety of dripline products with a standard range of low, pressure-compensating flow rates. On the Sprinkler Warehouse website, we offer Hunter products with flow rates between 0.5 and 15 GPM. When planning your system, the flow rate you choose should be primarily determined by your soil type. Slower flow is best for soils with slow infiltration rates, while faster flow is preferred for soils (like sand) where the water drains quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Hunter drip irrigation systems suitable for all types of plants?

Yes, Hunter Drip Irrigation is designed to be versatile and adaptable to various plants, from flowers and shrubs to vegetables and trees. The system allows for customization to meet the specific water requirements of different plants.

Can I automate my Hunter drip irrigation system with a controller?

Yes, Hunter offers controllers that can be integrated with drip irrigation systems. This allows for automated watering scheduling and precise control over watering durations, providing convenience while optimizing water usage.

Can I retrofit an existing Hunter irrigation system with drip components?

In many cases, yes. Hunter offers retrofit kits and components that can be integrated into existing irrigation systems, allowing users to upgrade to a more water-efficient drip irrigation system.

Do I need a pressure regulator for my Hunter drip zone?

Yes, you typically do need a pressure regulator for most Hunter drip zones. Drip irrigation components (tubing, fittings, and emitters) are designed to operate at much lower pressures than standard sprinkler systems. With a proper pressure regulator, you can protect your components and ensure uniform water distribution across your landscape. Depending on your setup, you may need either a 25 psi regulator or a 40 psi regulator.

How do I plan a drip system layout?

To plan a drip system layout, start by mapping your garden or landscape, noting plant types and how much water they’ll need. Determine the flow rate and pressure of your water source, then try to divide plants into different irrigation zones based on their watering needs. Plan main lines, lateral lines, and valve locations near your plants or grass, then calculate the total flow you’ll need per zone.
