I'm running an Orbit 8 outlet manifold with a Ecoplus 396 pump, also on a short pvc riser, to halos around the plants. At the plant, I used a short length of line & drilled 4 small holes to spray down and attached each end to the tee on the water line. Lines are 6-8 ft length & pump will provide pressure on at least 6 outlets - never had more plants. My pump is controlled by a Titan apollo 4 digital timer. Usually one minute on will get just a little runoff from my 3 gal smart pots with Tupur. Easy & simple!
No drippers, just adjust flow & time on to achieve the runoff you want.
