Roots & watering
Uneven watering or dry bags
When one bag dries while its neighbour stays wet, start by comparing water delivery. Increasing irrigation everywhere can make the wet areas worse.

Why do some drippers sputter when watering cocopeat?
Observe whether sputtering is brief start-up behaviour or persistent interruption.

Why the root zone matters
Air in delivery lines can make a timed irrigation event less predictable for coir bags.
01 / OBSERVE
Three checks before you change anything
- Compare start-up behaviour at high points and distant outlets.
- Check supply continuity and whether lines drain between events.
- Have the installer inspect air-release arrangements and suction-side leaks where relevant.
02 / NARROW IT DOWN
How long does it persist?
Choose the closest observation for a suggested next check.
Only at start-up
Measure complete-event output and ask whether line-retention changes are needed.
Throughout irrigation
Arrange a system inspection before relying on the scheduled volume.
Only after maintenance
Follow the approved recommissioning procedure and verify stable delivery.
03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Leave with something useful
Record sputtering locations and their collected output.
Keep in mind
Do not diagnose an air lock solely from the sound of one emitter.
