I have used Aquatrax for 4 years, I have always been happy with it. My most recent order from Berryhill, I ordered Aquatrax, but they sent me John Deere T-Tape. It felt a little stiffer, but it works well too. I have used all kinds of fittings with the Aquatrax, they all work well. Personally, I liked a brand that the screw pieces were orange. They were easy to see and easier to avoid. I have also had black ones and blue ones. The blue ones leaked the worse, if you didn't get them tightened correctly.

Does anybody know for sure if fittings for T-tape are compatible with Aquatrax? I have an opportunity to pick up some Aquatrax from a local grower who is going out of business. Not sure what fittings he has available, but I have a lot of T-tape fittings, as that's what we use in the fields.
Thanks in advance,

I don't know, I've used both and they seem the same to me. I did notice that there seems to be a lot of T-tape at the auctions though, almost never see the Aquatrax. I don't know if that means people like the aquatrax better and don't sell it off or that the T-tape is just more popular to start with. The people that claim a preference that I've heard seem to be Aquatrax people The worst I've used was a brand called "Plano" At any rate I think I'm going to go with the pressure compensated type next time, I've noticed I don't get even distribution with the regular in any brand.
