Drip irrigation delivers water slowly to the roots, using far less than spray heads. Here is what South Gate homeowners should know.

Drip lines and emitters release water a drop at a time at the base of each plant, so almost none is lost to wind or runoff.
The plumbing parts
A drip system needs a pressure regulator, a filter, and a backflow preventer at the supply, then the tubing and emitters run to the plants.
The benefits
Drip uses less water, keeps foliage dry, and waters deeply. In dry climates, it is the most efficient way to irrigate.
The maintenance
Emitters can clog, and lines can be cut by tools. mineral-rich water varies by region, and older neighborhoods still run on aging galvanized or copper lines In South Gate, a spring check keeps the system running all season.
