Could I attach this to a drip irrigation system (hose, timer, etc.) for my potted plants?

You could, but I'm not sure there is enough water pressure to make it work. Your potted plants would have to be well below the bottom of the collection vessel.

Probably not, depending how much higher water barrel is to drop line. I have a small pump inserted in mine. This provides the pressure needed to put water where I need it. Although I have not tried to connect drip irrigation, this may cause a backflow of pressure to the pump.

I would think so. There is a standard hose outlet (with valve) at the base of the tank. The tank comes with about a three foot length of hose. I replaced mine with a soaker hose that distributes the collected water over a 50 foot section of garden. The standard hose outlet has a (rather cheap, but effective) valve that will let you turn off the water distribution.

I would think you would have to have it connected to a separate zone on your irrigation system. I am assuming that is what you are contemplating. I am certainly not an expert.

Unless that line is maxed out (total gpm of valve less the gpm of all the drips already on the line) it should be fine. But may also depend on how long you run the water. all drip irrigation systems parts put out so much water per hour. It would also depend on the type of soil, and how densely it is planted.

this is a timer for an already-installed in-ground sprinkler system. will not work with a "normal garden hose".

I have one zone with a small drip setup for my potted plants. It only runs for about 4 min. Once a week. So far no problems.

comer with a couple adapters for faucets. but not sure about to a garden hose. you might find an adapter threaded from hose to tfaucet frI'm another source

Hi Timothy, To answer your question: Yes, the Add-it fertilizer injector may be used on a 1/2" tubing/drip-line irrigation configuration, and can be adapted to a hose-bib, timer, filter etc. Add-It is totally proportioning, therefore the injection rate is the same from beginning to end. To determine the proper fittings to use for your components, please call us at The Drip Store toll-free @ 760-597-1673

We have not used ours with that system. We did set up a drip irrigation system and are using potting soil, garden soil, mulch, etc. and it works well.

Yes, the main 1/2" hose runs from your faucet (which has the filter, timer and pressure reducer) and run the hose "near" to the plants that you want to irrigate. Then you insert multiple 1/4" hoses into the 1/2" hose (the location of insertion is near to where you want to drip) to drip water at the base of your plant. I recommend that you look on YouTube.com to view a video if you want further tips and information.

Not sure. It partially depends on your hose. If I were doing that, I'd use something like extra long, wire twist ties (the kind you get when buying some types of fresh vegetables) and tie the sprinkler down to the plant stand to keep it in place. That may or may not be possible with your stand...

Drip irrigations systems I know of screw onto a standard hose/faucet, and this has the same type of threads/connection, so yes. Attach this filter to the faucet, then your hose to the other end of the filter...other end of hose to your irrigation system.

I think so! I use mine out front with a long hose to water grass a short hose to water the flowers on a dual connector. Also i use a timer on the long hose! Good luck!

Yes, you can attach a garden hose directly. I added an aerator to the faucet to give a stronger stream of water.

Its really short but you could put a standard garden hose on there the problem being I am not sure there is enough water pressure to run the water all the way through unless its going down hill, also don't expect to water hanging pots or really anything above ground level

Yes, but it depends on how heavy the potted plants are (after you add water to soil). The arm itself is metal and strong.

I have the same timer in my greenhouse to run misters. I have the orbit valve (Orbit 57100 3/4-Inch Female Pipe Threaded Auto Inline Sprinkler Valve) connected to it. The timer itself comes with an AC adapter. It has worked perfectly. I believe I did purchase an adapter since I have the orbit valve connected to my outdoor hose faucet and then another on the other side for the hose that runs to the misters. Of course it's meant to be plumbed with pvc and the 3/4" fittings, but the valve is versatile, just need imagination.

I wouldn't recommend doing that. I bought the 1/2 inch diameter version for transporting the water to various areas of my garden. I then punch a hole for a 1/4 feed at locations where I want drip irrigation. You won't have enough water flow for multiple locations if your main transport line is only 1/4 inch.
