How Micro Bubblers Differ from Drip Emitters

Both types of emitters are used as part of a low-pressure irrigation system, but they differ in their water delivery methods and applications. Use an irrigation bubbler in scenarios where plants require higher water volumes or a broader coverage area. Drip emitters are more ideal for sensitive plants or areas where water conservation is a priority. Bubblers usually have a larger coverage area while drip emitters water a small, localized area, typically within a few inches.

Micro Bubbler FAQs

What are micro bubblers typically used for?

Micro bubbler irrigation works well in both small residential and larger commercial irrigation systems. A micro bubbler is ideal for deep-rooted trees and shrubs, as the system can provide sufficient water to penetrate deeper into the soil. They’re also useful in rows of crops or raised beds where targeted, higher-volume watering is needed.

Are micro bubblers water-efficient?

Yes, micro bubblers are water-efficient compared to traditional sprinklers. They deliver water directly to the root zones of plants in a controlled manner, which minimizes waste from runoff and evaporation. Many micro bubblers also allow you to adjust the flow, so you can tailor water delivery to match each plant's requirements.

Are micro bubblers adjustable?

Many of the micro bubblers available at Sprinkler Warehouse are adjustable, allowing you to control their flow rate, and occasionally their spray pattern.
