The MSONGST Groove Type* (see below) Maxijet Rust Colored 4.2 GPH - Gallons Per Hour - Spraying Pot Stake with 160 Degree Down Spray Pattern.
The 4.2 GPH flow rate is suitable for most residential applications such as small to medium plants. 4.2 GPH means the stake would deliver 4.2 gallons of sprayed water to the plant if allowed to run for a full hour; in 15 minutes of run time it would disperse 1 gallon of water @ 20 lbs psi pressure which is normal for a drip-mist system. 7 minutes run time would provide appriximately 2 quarts of water dispersed.
This is an excellent new product from Maxijet - A groove type spraying pot stake designed with container plants in mind.
These 7 inch length Maxijet Groove Type Spraying Pot Stakes have a 160 degree down spray pattern and come in four different water outputs - Rust Pot Spray Stake is 4.2 GPH or Gallons Per Hour, the Lime Green Pot Spray Stake is 6.6 GPH, the Green Pot Spray Stake is 11.4 GPH, and the Black Pot Spray Stake is 15.0 GPH for larger plants and containers. The varying spray nozzle sizes allow you to vary the amount of spray and water received by each plant on the same drip-mist watering circuit.
*What makes the "groove" stake different and unique is the fact the stake has a groove intake rather than the standard interior tube running through the tubing attachment riser. This means the entire water flow area in the stake from tubing attachment point to water dispersal point is open and visible for quick and easy cleaning simply by pulling the tubing off the riser.
The Pot Spraying Stake comes with a molded-in shut-off arm, which allows you to take the feeding line off the active stake feeder terminal and place it on the shut-off arm, which acts as a shut-off plug. This allows you to quickly and easily deactivate one plant stake without taking any other stakes off-line.
Important - any time you get involved with a spray type drip mist application, an effective filter of 200 mesh is absolutely essential to prevent clogging. Once clogged, it is time consuming to unclog the water flow groove on each and every stake. So make sure you install a 200 mesh filter before attempting usage of any spray type drip mist equipment, even groove stakes.
