Question: My Little Drippas empty the bottle in seconds, what am I doing wrong? Answer: Please check out our video of how to use the Little Drippas. https://youtube.com/shorts/uF_lf3c2Yr8?feature=share What the video shows is the Little Drippa on a bottle, in the soil and fully shut off to begin with, so no bubbles coming out of the straw. On the valve there is an arrow pointing anti clockwise for open, so ensure the valve is turned fully clockwise to ensure the valve is fully closed and no water can exit the bottle. In this state. It is perfectly normal for the Little Drippas to still release water from the hole at the end of the spike when turned with the spike facing downwards until the spike is in the soil. It should stop once in the soil as the soil stops the flow of air through the spike . The video then shows the valve being opened by turning it anti clockwise, this releases air in to the bottle allowing the water to flow. To begin with the flow is quite fast as only a very small amount of air will give a fast flow of water and a lot of bubbles of air from the straw. Just quickly turn the valve back clockwise to reduce the water flow, which can been seen by the dramatic reduction of air bubbles from the straw, at this point the valve is almost fully closed again, only releasing a tiny amount of air in to the bottle. You can see the valve turned to increase and reduce the flow again for a second time. By Mark
