6.2 Positioning the water
container / level
(fig. D)
Important ! When choosing
the location for the water
container, please ensure that
the water level is at a lower
height than the flower boxes.
This will avoid the water drip-
ping after the irrigation pro -
cess ! However, if the flower
boxes are positioned at a lower
height than the water level, we
recommend to install the first
Inline Drip Head directly above
the water level in the container.
This allows venting of the
system and prevents dripping.
