Control Zone Kits

Begin by attaching a valve to the water line to control the flow to your drip zone. Next, connect a filter directly after the valve to remove sediment and protect your emitters from clogging. Following the filter, install a pressure regulator to reduce the water pressure to a level safe for drip irrigation. Finally, attach your drip tubing to the outlet of the assembly using a compatible adapter, and secure the assembly in place with brackets or stakes if needed. Once everything is connected, turn the water back on and test the system for leaks before putting it into use.

Yes, a pressure regulator is recommended with most control zone kits, and most kits already include one for that reason. Drip irrigation systems are designed to operate at low pressure to ensure water flows gently without causing any leaks. Most municipal water supplies deliver water at much higher pressures, which can burst tubing or lead to uneven watering if not regulated. The pressure regulator in a control zone kit ensures the system functions efficiently and protects your components from pressure-related wear or failure.
