Drip emitters for air lines
Hi
What size drippers do you use on your airlines for sponge filters.

whats a dripper???
Re: Drip emitters for air lines
It is a garden irrigation product that connects to a pipe the size of an airline. It is used to drip water into pot plants and has a rating of gallons per hour. The better ones self regulate the pressure.
If used on an airline that supplies the whole fish room, you should get a constant flow even if you add more lines or decrease the flow to a particular air line.
Hope this makes sense.
Re: Drip emitters for air lines
I assume then that you're pumping air through it and not water
Re: Drip emitters for air lines
yes air. you can adjust individual lines with affecting air flow rate in the remaining lines

Re: Drip emitters for air lines
I've never tried drippers for air, or water for that matter. I prefer to have options and use the AV1 valves on the same Jehmco page.Originally Posted by Discus-Hans

Yes , thanks that is what I was looking for.
If you just use the valves, If you suddenly open one of the valves fully or close a valve, you could effect the air flow to the other air filters. You would then have to go and readjust all your valves to compensate for the increase or decrease in air flow.
If you use the emitters with automatic pressure compensate, then you do not have have to readjust all your valves.
Re: Drip emitters for air lines
I think I like it- the system as a whole becomes immune to the presence or absence of any one outlet hose... the valves maintain backpressure in the system, so even when you pull a hose to clean an airstone or sponge filter, the rest remain relatively unaffected...
Air valves and hoses have always been the fiddly-est part of aquariums...
Re: Drip emitters for air lines
Did you use the drip lines any updates ?
