†Fill time based on 100 ft mat.

*Drip tape & driplock (supplied):
8 mil thickness, 1 inch wide flat, 5/8 inch diameter, flow rate 1.35 gpm/100 lin feet; spaced every 2 feet starting at 6-12 inches from edges. If required, spacing and quantity of drip tape lines can be changed to avoid placement under containers. Use “T” connector or supplied driplock to connect drip tape lines. Use a 0.14 inch punch to plug driplock into manifold ftpe.

Water supply equipment (not supplied): Use a 10-20 psi pressure regulator with appropriate flow rate (gpm) to accommodate the length of drip tape lines to be connected to a manifold with a minimum diameter of 3⁄4 inch. Use a 180-200 mesh filter. Average flow rate/100 ft2 of mat: 0.75gpm.

**Pulsing cycles are commonly used instead of one cycle depending on crop, weather or on a new mat. For example: 3 cycles of 10 min. instead of 1 cycle of 30 min. to fill Aquamat.
