Hunter Drip Irrigation

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.

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.

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.

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.
