Great video, thanks for sharing. I’m surprised I don’t see more of this. Saves water, reduces overspray, and hides sprinkler heads. Seems like a win all the way around.

Thank you, WaterGruffalo.
The initial process can be demanding figuring out soil infiltration rates by doing soil tests so you can manage and apply correct irrigation system run times and not over water your target materials, which can and does happen. Properly installed and maintained sub-surface drip irrigation systems do reduce water wastage and increase the efficiency of water use.

What are those saddle connectors you're using on the header line? Thanks!

Jenrusso,
Thank you for checking out my videos.
The irrigation fitting is called a HydroRain 3/4" Blu-Lock by 1/2" Drip-Lock tee fitting.
You can go to the website www.hydrorain.com
Click the 3/4 " Blu- Lock link, and you will be able to find it listed there.
Depending on where you reside, you should be able to find a supplier, or you may be able to order directly from the manufacturer.
The fittings are very reliable and easy to use.
Good luck, and share the video with others, please...🙏
Thank you...🤠👍🏾

I heard since Netafim uses emitter check valves , you don't need a air relief box installed. Is this correct?

[@alcambero]

Good morning, and thank you for viewing and your question.
We always use the relief valves as they are a design concept Netafim encourages and is a great way to ensure proper air release in the tubing after the irrigation cycle is complete.
