   I'm still in the figuring things out phase of drip irrigation . I'm   
   thinking I might need some kind of filter in the system , my adjustable   
   emitters are apparently getting plugged with something in the well water   
   . When I first tried it out there was a fine screen in the hose adapter   
   that was getting plugged with some very small particles , don't know   
   what . I thought whatever it is was small enough to pass thru the   
   emitter holes , but maybe not .
