Arrow-S Dripper Stake

Point irrigation at container level

Dripper stakes position the water outlet close to the crop root zone, helping keep individual container irrigation organised. Insert the stake securely without damaging important roots and route the connected microtube so it is not kinked or under tension.

Actual delivered water depends on the upstream dripper, pressure, pipework and system design. Where a flow figure is stated for the product, verify irrigation uniformity under the operating conditions of the complete system.

Checking irrigation uniformity

Periodically compare output across representative pots, particularly at the beginning and end of irrigation lines. Investigate blocked outlets, damaged tube, pressure differences or displaced stakes if crop moisture becomes uneven.

Irrigation system management

Good components cannot compensate for poor system design. Size pipework, zones and water supply for the required flow and pressure, and use suitable filtration where emitters or small waterways are vulnerable to debris.

Flush and inspect irrigation systems as appropriate to water quality and crop hygiene requirements.

Maintenance & storage

Inspect components periodically for blockage, wear, leaks or physical damage. Keep installation tools clean and dry between jobs and replace damaged components rather than relying on temporary fixes in production systems.
