About the SM50 Adjustable Micro Sprayer Kit
The Adjustable Micro Sprayer Kit is an excellent choice for various garden layouts, including areas with shrubs, trees, flowers, and groundcovers. This versatile kit offers adjustable micro sprayers with 360°, 180°, and 90° spray patterns, providing installation flexibility to create a stunning garden design.
The micro sprayers in this kit are designed with simplicity in mind, as they have no moving parts. They distribute water in a manner similar to conventional spray heads but with a significantly lower application rate. This feature ensures efficient water usage while maintaining effective irrigation.
When you purchase this kit, you’ll receive all the necessary components to install a complete system, covering an area of up to 500 square feet. It includes everything needed to connect to a standard outdoor water faucet or garden hose, making installation hassle-free.
In cases where the faucet is not located adjacent to the garden or the area where the adjustable micro sprayers will be installed, you can extend the reach using an additional length of ½” drip tubing. Simply choose the appropriate model: B35 for a 50′ length or B36 for a 100′ length, and connect it from the faucet using a garden hose.
To initiate the installation process, begin by attaching the backflow device directly to the faucet or to the end of the garden hose. Follow this by adding a 25 PSI pressure regulator, which serves to reduce the incoming pressure from the faucet to the recommended operating pressure of 25 PSI. This operating pressure falls within the ideal range for drip irrigation or micro-sprinkler systems.
With the Adjustable Micro Sprayer Kit, you can easily achieve efficient and precise watering for your garden, while ensuring convenient installation and proper regulation of water pressure. Create a flourishing garden with ease using this comprehensive kit.
Installation Steps
Connect to your water source (faucet) using a backflow preventer, pre-set pressure regulator and swivel adapter. A filter is recommended.
Lay the poly tubing along the path and around the plants area and connect it to the swivel adapter. Leave the poly tubing outin the sun for a few minutes to make it easier and more flexible.
Add the tee, elbows, and other parts as needed. Punch a hole into the poly tubing and attach the micro sprayers to the 1/2″ poly tubing or to the end of the micro tubing.
When completed, turn the water on, flush the line and close the end of the poly tubing using a figure “8” hose end.

About the soil and suggested drip emitters spacing:
- Sandy soil or light textured soil: Water percolates straight through before it can spread far enough horizontally, so use the drip emitters in close spacing of 10″ to 12″ apart. Apply water at close intervals such as every other day for 20 to 90 minutes depending on plant size and type, daylight conditions (full sun, partial sun or shaded) and weather pattern (cold to hot) with the plants under full sun in hot conditions getting the longer period.
- Loamy soil or medium textured soil: This is the ideal soil condition with water moving slowly and spreading evenly, so use the drip emitters spaced 16″ to 18″ apart. Apply water at wider intervals such as every two to four days for 15 to 90 minutes depending on plant size, type, daylight conditions (full sun, partial sun or shaded) and weather pattern (cold to hot) with the plants under full sun in hot conditions getting the longer period.
- Clay soil or heavy textured soil: Water is absorbed very slowly, so install the drip emitters at a spacing of 18″ to 24″ apart. Apply water at longer intervals such as every three to five days for 30 minutes to 60 minutes depending on flow rate, plant size and type, daylight conditions (full sun, partial sun or shaded) and weather pattern (cold to hot) with the plants under full sun in hot conditions getting the longer period.
