Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update August 20, 2016 After looking at the rows of lettuce, broccoli, Swiss chard, Tomatoes, Cabbage, etc etc. I noticed a fairly large difference in growth from one plant to another. As of August, we had so far a rainfall deficit of 9 inches in MA, hence this spring/summer the watering was almost only drip irrigation sustained. While planting the fall crop, I decided to measure precisely the output of those emitters, and I had a nasty surprise: They are *absolutely inconsistent* from one to another, and from one test to the next. (15 minutes apart) Some emitters drip as low as 0.08 GPH to as much as 0.92 GPH. The *same* emitter can go from 0.24 GPH to 0.92 GPH within 2 test spaced out by 15 minutes. I would not mind it too much if they were 0.7 instead of 0.5 GPH, but the same one will have over 350% difference output between 2 test. Out of 10 emitters, 8 are JUNK. That's only a 80% fail rate. Look at the video and you'll see. 8 test performed total. Emitter #1, Test 1, 0.46 GPH || Test #2, 0.41 GPH Emitter #2, Test 1, 0.55 GPH || Test #2, 0.20 GPH Emitter #3, Test 1, 0.13 GPH || Test #2, 0.14 GPH Emitter #4, Test 1, 0.08 GPH || Test #2, 0.16 GPH Emitter #5, Test 1, 0.08 GPH || Test #2, 0.18 GPH Emitter #6, Test 1, 0.24 GPH || Test #2, 0.92 GPH Tech specs for the test Brand new emitters. Main line 0.500 in @ 30 PSI. Timed at 10 minutes exactly. Complete line purged of air. Municipal water (clean) + 200 Mesh (75 microns) filter , 1/4 inch line on a loop. Plastic cups placed under the emitters, each cup measured at 12 grams. and then you weigh the water after x minutes. 1 gram = 1 ml If you are looking for the top notch quality emitters, cleanable, etc, then it's Antelco CETA available on Amzn here: 0.5 GPH http://amzn.to/2p9BpxY 1 GPH http://amzn.to/2ppqShS 2 GPH http://amzn.to/2ohqs9u Disclaimer: I did not have the same issues with the 2GPH RainBird, but after trying RainBird, Koram, RainDrip, and Antelco, I now use Antelco almost exclusively. Lastly, the vendor (Drip Depot) of those Antelco PC drip emitters has a *stellar* customer service. Antelco: If you don't know the Brand, you should know that more than a few RainBird products are in fact Antelco re-branded
