Why no confidence?
Could not get uniform flow from all hoses. System would drain back then airlock in the manifold when activated. Some hoses a good flow, others only dripping. I know because if I tapped the manifold a rush of bubbles would come out the tubes and then uniform flow would follow. Not great in an automated system. Florakleen bubblers have no internal adjustments for individual tube flow, so just hollow inside. Anyway, they're Florakleen green!

That makes sense. I wonder if there is a way to prime them. That's really the only fear I have about my plans to run no drippers. I want to just run open 1/4" line. Are all your lines the same length from the manifold?
