Keep in mind that its not
recommended
to mix these spikes with sprinklers on the same irrigation valve. This spike emits only 4 gallons per hour directly to the root zone of your target plant. A typical sprinkler will consume much more. So the station time for sprinklers is normally around 10 min. This spike should be left on for 20 - 60 min depending on water pressure and plant size. If your ground is sloping, install the spike on the up-hill side of the plant to facilitate the water migration towards the plant.
On a single irrigation valve / station, you can easily have 25+ of these spikes attached due to the low water consumption. There are several ways you can hook them up. The feed line is a standard 1/4 poly tube. This tube can be connected to a multi-outlet manifold if your plants are closely located or it can be connected in string fashion to a 1/2" poly tube using little 1/4 barbed couplings. We recommend burying the tubes just below the surface for a cleaner look and to protect the tubes from UV.
The ideal water pressure is 25 psi, but will work up to 60 psi. At higher pressures there is a risk that the tube connections will separate over time. If you have high water pressure we recommend using simple 25 psi 1/2" pressure reducers.
The little red valve is not used to turn the water on and off, its merely a gripper to you can pull out the top to clean it in case it is clogged by sediments.
Have fun saving water and keeping your plants happy and healthy.
