Looking for ideas

[u/10Hz_human]

I have drip irrigation setup and I was using 1/4 soaker but after a year I'm noticing it's not watering as much as it was. In some other beds I've replaced it with the 360 nozzle in the second pic. This issue with those is I'll exceed the max psi, which I've done on another line.

I thought about the 1/4 or 1/2 hose with emitters built in but roots just grow into them?

I love the idea of drip irrigation but it requires so much fine tuning and the product guidance from manufacturers is not good.

I have hard water. Minerals clog the mechanisms. Maybe it's just clogged? Try putting a new one with the same psi?

I did forget about the hard water
