  4. The calculator returns total gallons and litres delivered per cycle.

20 emitters at 1 GPH for one hour — this calculator shows exactly how many gallons your drip system delivers per run.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate drip irrigation water usage?
Multiply number of emitters × emitter flow rate (GPH) × run time in hours. For example, 10 emitters at 1 GPH run for 60 minutes delivers 10 gallons.
What emitter flow rate should I use?
Use 0.5–1 GPH emitters for shrubs and vegetables, 2 GPH for larger shrubs and trees. Low-flow emitters reduce runoff and improve water infiltration.
