Frequently Asked Questions about Tapes & Drip Lines
Q: What’s the difference between T-Tape and 16mm drip lines? A: T-Tape is a flat, thin-walled drip tape typically used for seasonal crops, while 16mm drip lines are round, thicker-walled products suitable for permanent installations and longer service life.
Q: Do I need pressure compensated drip lines? A: Pressure compensated lines like the Rivulis Gardenline maintain consistent flow rates across varying pressures and elevations, making them ideal for sloped terrain or long irrigation runs.
Q: What does “ND” mean in TIF Hydro PC ND? A: ND stands for Non-Drain, which prevents water from draining out of the line when the system shuts off, ensuring immediate water delivery when restarted.
Q: How long do drip tapes and lines typically last? A: Service life varies by product type – T-Tape is designed for seasonal use, while 16mm drip lines can last several years depending on water quality and installation conditions.
Q: Can these drip lines be used with automated irrigation controllers? A: Yes, all drip tapes and lines in this collection can be integrated with valve and controller systems for automated irrigation scheduling.
Q: What’s the maximum length I can run without pressure loss? A: This depends on the specific product, flow rate, and inlet pressure. The TIF Hydrogol system offers 400M lengths, whilst other products may have different maximum run lengths.
Q: Are these products suitable for vegetable gardens? A: Yes, both T-Tape and 16mm drip lines are commonly used in vegetable production, providing efficient water delivery directly to plant root zones.
Q: Do I need filters with these drip irrigation systems? A: Filtration is recommended to prevent clogging of emitters, especially with water sources containing sediment or organic matter.
Q: Can drip lines be repaired if damaged? A: Yes, most drip lines can be repaired using splice fittings or patches, though the repair method depends on the specific product type and damage extent.
Q: What’s the difference in cost between the various drip line options? A: Prices range from £27.47 for basic Rivulis Gardenline products up to £268.18 for T-Tape systems, with costs varying based on length, features, and specifications.
