I just built a drip system in my tent and when the pumps not on some of the inline drippers are still dripping very slowly but don't know why any ideas guys cheers

easy fix. 
 

 

as @sweettooth has said if you didn’t fit an anti siphon valve you can make one really easy. 
 

 

where you pump is in the reservoir there should be an up pipe from the pump out of your res and to your delivery system. 
 

 

pop a 4mm hole in your up pipe above the pump and ideally above the water level. 
 

 

this will allow the back pressure to release after your pump shuts off and then drain back into your res.
