The DRIPCAP® is a patented water conservation tool & grow medium protector. It uses a new innovative dripping method & hose holding technology. The DRIPCAP® is made from recycled plastic, is recyclable & reuseable. Supported by a rear hinge the DRIPCAP® splits apart down the centre, enabling an easy, secure installation and removal, at any stage of the plants development. The two permanently attached hose holders on the top of the DRIPCAP® are a “friction fit” method of attachment. Using a gently sloped angle on the inside of the hose, holding cylinders enabled us to obtain a snug compression fit on the outside of the hose, creating a firm tight seal without leakage. You can attach one propagation hose or two. With two propagation hoses attached there are four dripping holes underneath the cap for even dripping onto the medium. The dripper holes are the diameter of 2 mm each. DRIPCAP® covers the growing mediums surface from an elevated position. Air vents are incorporated into the sides of the cap allowing for the correct amount of air exchange as well as slowing the evaporation rate of your water & nutrients, saving money & resources.
