Adjust-A-Bubbler: 360° Adjustable Flow Mini Bubbler (0-35 GPH)

Take complete control of your drip irrigation system with the versatile Adjust-A-Bubbler. This high-volume drip emitter, also known as the Antelco Mini Bubbler, provides a full 360° umbrella of gentle streams, perfect for thoroughly watering the root zones of trees, shrubs, large containers, and hanging baskets. With an easy-to-use click-indexed cap, you can adjust the flow from 0 to 35 GPH and the coverage diameter up to 1.9 feet, ensuring your plants get the precise amount of water they need to thrive. Its high-flow capabilities allow for shorter watering times, making it one of the most efficient and adaptable bubblers on the market.

Features & Benefits

• Precise Flow Control (0-35 GPH): Go from a complete shut-off to a full 35 gallons per hour. The fingertip click-indexed cap lets you dial in the exact flow rate for everything from delicate seedlings to mature, water-hungry trees, providing customized irrigation for each plant in your landscape.
• Adjustable 360° Coverage: The gentle umbrella pattern ensures even water distribution around the plant base, preventing dry spots and promoting balanced root growth. Rotate the cap to adjust the watering diameter from a targeted drip to a wide 1.9-foot circle (at 30 PSI), adapting to plants as they grow.
• Efficient, High-Volume Watering: The high flow rate allows for significantly shorter watering times compared to standard low-flow drippers. This saves you time and ensures deep root saturation, which is critical for the health of trees and large shrubs.
• Easy to Clean and Maintain: Features a simple take-apart design for quick and easy cleaning. This allows you to effortlessly clear any sediment or debris, preventing clogs and ensuring reliable, consistent performance season after season.
• Durable, UV-Resistant Construction: Manufactured from high-quality, UV-stabilized polypropylene materials. This robust construction ensures the bubbler can withstand harsh sunlight and adverse weather conditions, providing a long service life in your garden.
• Multiple Connection Options: Available in 1/4" Barb and 5" Spike models. This versatility ensures you can find the perfect fit to integrate seamlessly into any new or existing drip irrigation system, whether connecting to poly tubing or a stake.

Applications: Solving Your Watering Challenges

The Ideal Solution for Trees and Shrubs

Whether you are establishing new trees or maintaining mature shrubs, providing deep and thorough watering is essential for a healthy root system. The Adjust-A-Bubbler's high flow rate is designed to moisten soil to the recommended 18-20 inch depth, encouraging roots to grow deep and making plants more drought-tolerant. For larger trees, use multiple bubblers spaced around the drip line to ensure a sufficient percentage of the root area is wetted, supporting the plant's mature size.

Perfect for Container Gardens and Hanging Baskets

Potted plants and hanging baskets have a limited soil volume and tend to dry out quickly. The Adjust-A-Bubbler is an excellent tool for these applications because its adjustable flow allows you to deliver a large volume of water quickly and efficiently, thoroughly saturating the soil without wasteful runoff. The complete shut-off feature is particularly useful for systems with mixed plantings, allowing you to stop water flow to specific pots as needed.

Installation and Use

Installing and using your Adjust-A-Bubbler is straightforward. First, select the model that best fits your irrigation setup:

• Barb Models: Ideal for direct connection to your supply line. Use a hole punch to make a clean opening in your 1/2" mainline poly tubing and firmly insert the 1/4" barb for a secure, leak-free fit.
• Spike Models: For maximum stability and perfect positioning, choose the spike model. The integrated 5" stake anchors the bubbler exactly where you need it and includes a 1/4" barb for an easy connection to your 1/4" micro tubing.

Adjusting the Flow:

Controlling the water output is intuitive. Simply rotate the textured cap. Each "click" provides a tactile response as you increase or decrease the flow rate and coverage area. Turn the cap counter-clockwise to increase flow and clockwise to reduce it or shut it off completely.
