System Essentials & Options

Great! You picked your mats, now you need a water supply.  We recommend for most installations that you pick from a kit as the simplest way to get started.  

If your installation is large (more than 1000 feet of drip tape) or is multiple locations or other than rectangular we would be happy to quote on the best solution since compiling the list of materials can be a hassle on line. 

If you know exactly what you need, check our parts listing.

Flora-Flow Water Supply Kits

Our kits simply deliver controlled, filtered water to your mats or drip tape.  When selecting your kit, keep in mind that dual line mats require two lines per planting bed.  Kits include pressure regulator, size-appropriate filtration and all required fittings and tubing.

 

Water Hookup Requirements:

  • A Flora-Flow Water Supply Kit
  • OR:
  • 10-15 PSI Maximum Water Pressure
  • Drip Tape Adapters
  • Water Filter or Fine Mesh Screen Washer

Water Hookup Options:

  • Mainline Supply Tubing, Adapters, and Fittings
  • Drip Tape Terminators
  • Timers
  • Fertilizer Injector

 

Required Components:

Every drip tape system, except a low-pressure rain barrel system, requires a pressure regulator, filtration and adapters to go from your hose or plumbing to the drip tape itself.  We stock 10psi pressure regulators, various drip tape adapters, and filters to deliver the water your mats need.

All mats and tape, except for our 8-foot consumer versions require a pressure regulator or flow limiting device.  Rain barrel systems are fine, but will deliver water at a slower rate
