Add-on kits are a great way to customize your specific watering needs. DripWorks offers five unique add-on kits to combine with your heart kit to distribute water your plants. The Mini-Jet add-on kit is a set of ten sprayers that offer a 180 degree watering pattern. The Mini-Jets are ideal for light watering over smaller areas, such as flower beds and small planter boxes. Each Mini-Jet sprays water in a 3.5 foot radius providing thirteen gallons of water per hour. This kit includes ten Mini-Jets and ten easy stakes. Each stake comes with a 3 foot run of quarter-inch tubing to allow for a wide range of flexibility in placement. To determine where your Mini-Jet should go, place the easy stakes in the ground where you feel it is necessary for proper water coverage. Once the stakes are inserted, run the quarter-inch tube connected to the stake back towards the mainline tubing. To connect the stakes to the mainline tubing, start by making a hole in the mainline tubing where desired with the yellow punch by using a twisting motion. To fix a hole made in the wrong location, simply use a goof plug to repair the mistake. Take the quarter-inch tube from the stake with the transfer barb already inserted and place it into the mainline tubing. Remember to separate each tube by 3.5 feet to 4 feet. Finally, take the Mini-Jet sprayers and install them into the quarter-inch tubing on the top of each stake. The Mini-Jet sprayers will thread into the tubing. This can be done by hand or using the hex-shaped hole on the opposite end of the yellow punch. When all the Mini-Jets are inserted onto the ends of the stakes, turn your faucet on for 15-20 minutes and inspect that all the Mini-Jets are creating the necessary watering pattern and the area is being entirely covered.
