You should have recieved a 15psi regulator, which would be clearly stated right on it. If the wrong one was sent, simply call our office and we will get the correct model to you. However, it is not a huge deal. The tape will handle 20psi and the output increase is increase to about .25gpm/100'.

: I bought Kit B, should I be changing
: something? is the regulator faulty?

: I'm a little concerned about your regulator.
: It should have been a 10psi with kit
: "A" or a 15 psi with kit
: "B". In either case the output
: variance would be minimal. Perhaps about
: .25gpm.

: As far as how long to water... I suggest you
: dig down with a spade and see how it is
: doing. Different soil types will show
: different results. After the first 2 or 3
: cycles you should have a good feel for it.

: I hope this helps!

: I purchased a T-Tape kit this spring,

: the system and results.

: I do have a question in regards to volume
: delivered. The manf lists the volume as .22
: gallons/hundred foot of tape @ 8 psi
: delivery pressure. The regulator you
: provided operates at about 18 psig and is
: listed as a 20 psi unit.
:
: How much additional volume will the extra 10
: psi add. I want to calculate times for
: complete watering. I have about 1700 feet
: of tape out to cover 5,000 square feet with
: a 5 gpm, 50 psi water supply. I divided the
: garden in two zones of about 850 ft of tape
: each.
:
: Also what I am seeing is just the row gets
: watered when I do water. Should I reduce
: the amount of water from what would be
: needed to cover 5,000 square feet as the
: water is being applied directly to the
: plants versus the entire garden? and if I
: do reduce the amount how much should I
: reduce it?
:
: Thanks in advance for the info.
