BLUE DOLPHIN™
BLUE DOLPHIN™ Watering Manifold
The BLUE DOLPHIN Watering Manifold was developed and tested over several years to solve one of the biggest problems in automated grow systems: clogging and uneven watering.
Unlike traditional manifolds that choke flow through tiny internal passages, BLUE DOLPHIN maintains full-volume water movement from the pump to each plant, preventing bottlenecks in the system.
This allows a single manifold to supply six to nine full-size 1/4-inch feeder lines with strong, even flow — without relying on fragile micro-emitters or restrictive nozzles.
The result is a smooth-flow, low-maintenance watering system that delivers consistent hydration with virtually no clogging.

Commercial Use – Scalable for Large Facilities
The BLUE DOLPHIN™ manifold isn’t just for hobby growers. Commercial & Greenhouse Applications
The BLUE DOLPHIN™ manifold is built for scalable irrigation systems. Its high-flow, anti-clog architecture supports consistent nutrient and water distribution in greenhouses, indoor farms, and warehouse cultivation environments.
Multiple manifolds can be configured in-line from a single pump source to deliver balanced pressure across extended rows. This allows uniform feed rates over distance while maintaining system stability.
Designed to integrate with automated irrigation controllers and environmental management systems, the BLUE DOLPHIN™ manifold supports efficient expansion without compromising flow reliability.
For commercial orders (30+ units), bulk pricing, or custom system configurations, contact BLUE DOLPHIN directly. Layout diagrams and application guidance are available upon request.
Product Directions
1. Install the Feeder Tubes: Insert from 6 to 9, ¼” feeder tubes into the outlets on the manifold. Push each one in firmly. 2. Add Plant Stakes: Place one stake into each grow pot. Attach the feeder tube to each stake with about 1/2" of tube over hang. 3. Position the Manifold: Set the manifold near the center of your grow area, If pot in center then next to pot. 4. Connect the Main Line: Attach a 1/2-inch tube to the center inlet on the manifold. Run this 1/2-inch tube down into your reservoir and connect it to your submersible pump. 5. Pump Size: The pump should be strong, not a tiny aquarium pump. A 1/5 HP pump is enough to operate four manifolds or more, depending on your layout. 6. Cleaning the System: Between grow cycles, flush the manifold and tubes by running water and vinegar 1:1 ratio in a loop through the system. This helps remove mineral buildup and keeps the tubes flowing smoothly. 7. Automating with a Timer: To automate watering, plug the pump into a timer and set it for short cycles—usually 1 to 2 minutes. This usually delivers too much water. 8. To control water flow: • Install a ½-inch Tee fitting on the main line just above the reservoir. From this Tee: • Install a plastic ½-inch on/off valve, 6 inches above the tee. • Adjusting this valve tunes the flow of the water, calibrating precise water cycles. • Install a plastic ½-inch on/off valve on the return line a few inches below the tee. Just above the full water line in reservoir and leave slightly cracked open • This eliminates siphoning when the pump shuts off. The cracked valve introduces air into the lines highest point above the water line, breaking vacuum pressure so water does not continue to run after pump is off.
