CARPATHEN 100 Drip Irrigation Emitters Vortex - Drip Irrigation Parts for Irrigation Kit - 1/4 inch Irrigation Tubing Compatible - 360 deg Adjustable Fan Sprayer for Raised Garden Bed, Potted Plants

I started with the “starter package” (also excellent), but this upgrade took things to a whole new level. Installation was incredibly easy—just poke a hole, connect, and attach the emitter. That’s it. Done in minutes. What really impressed me is how efficient the vortex emitters are. They're super easy to adjust, which meant I needed fewer connectors and couplers. The result? Better coverage in my garden beds and less water usage. Win-win. Also, major kudos to their customer support—still as helpful and responsive as ever. Pro tip: Skip the 1/4” line and connect directly into the 5/16” mainline. It saves time, is easier to manage, and keeps things tidy. Highly recommend this setup for anyone looking to simplify and optimize their drip system!

This is the best DIY irrigation system on the market. It’s easy to install, easy to customize and change as needed throughout the season or into the next year. I’ve had this system and the irrigation kit bundle - these products last so well. Over winter, I left the entire system outside, still setup in my garden. The following season it started up perfectly, no issues. It’s dependable and awesome!! Plus their customer service is outstanding - I’ve reached out with water pressure issues and they’ve given me tips on how to adjust the system best for my water pressure. Overall, HIGHLY recommend!!

Works exactly as advertised. 100 pack is a great value for the money. Make sure you buy 1/4” POLYETHYLENE (PE) tubing and absolutely not vinyl. Heat the end of the tubing before you place over the barb. The barb on the emitter is a little bit large and vinyl tubing becomes too floppy when heated up and won’t go over it. Makes for a good, tight, leakproof fitting but a bit tough to do.

I'm very impressed with this addition to a new watering system for my vegetable garden. I can adjust each emitter to adjust water flow to very light sprinkle, at each plant. Some are adjusted to a wider spray for other vegetables. Used a few in flower gardens, at the higher level of water pressure for greater distance. Cuts down water time significantly. Left irrigation set in place, just hooked up water hoses to each area. Price is really reasonable compared to name brands. Very generous size package. Buy the heavy duty 2 in 1 tubing hole punch and cutter. Used an adjustable heat gun, to warm up tubing before inserting fittings. Both items are worth it, and relatively inexpensive. Saves your hands from pain. My veggie garden is 16x30 and 4 very large flower gardens. Would not have attempted a set up with out the additional tools.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: These are great quality, not cheapy. They work well and are super easy to set up! Plenty in this pack to handle a decent sized area.

These have been a game-changer for our garden. Inexpensive, easy to install and they work great. Not sure what the complaining is about. Lots of people don't rtfm, and then complain that these emitters don't work. Sorry, most of the complaints sound a lot like user error. The emitters themselves are very simple, and they just work. Occasionally they will clog if something gets into the water line, but you just unscrew the cap, blow it out, and you're back in business. There is a limit to how many of these you can put on a single line. I have 14 on one line, and that seems to be about the limit for us. And low water pressure might be a problem for some people, but that's not these guys' fault.

1. Compatibility with 1/4" tubing (industry standards like Rainbird and Dig) not as in headline. Even with heating, much too difficult to install. Barb is much bigger than necessary. 2. Barb on unit is at 45 deg, not 90 deg as in picture. This is ridiculous design. It makes is way more difficult to push the tubing on with leverage, and, more importantly, allows the tubing to interfere with pushing the stake into the soil all the way (because the tubing is projecting down, not horizontally). Terrible design. 3. The biggest complaint...the spray goes upward far too much...instead of spraying horrzontally as the picture shows. This wets foliage not the soil...a bad idea for plants in baskets and containers...leads to fungus. It also over-sprays the container too easily even when adjusted down. All three of these issues are not as advertised or pictured and are design flaws. I have used Dig and Rainbird 360 for years on dozens of containers and several properties, and I thought I would try these that claim better innovation. NO Good...backwards innovation. Cheap price, goofy innovation.. Returning after installing dozens. A lot of work/trouble for nothing.

Overall, these are good and work well for watering my garden. One thing I've noticed, though, is that the ability to get lots of different levels of output is inconsistent at low levels of flow across different emitters (perhaps an indication of inconsistent quality). Specifically, when trying to set all of my drip lines to the same low level of flow, some of them go from full faucet to nothing, while others go through a lot of levels of low flow. Overall, it's not a massive issue I haven't been able to workaround, though it is annoying.

Everything I’ve bought under the carpathen name has been high quality!

the product is a little bit bigger than 1/4” in but i managed to install it by using a lighter to heat up the tubing and it worked smoothly

muy rapido y con la sorpresa de que vienen las conexiones manguera de 3/4 incluidas y no me había percatado al comprar. Todo bien presentado en sus cajas. Esperemos todo funcione bien al construir la red.
