Q: Once I get this set deep into clay soil, will the water then travel through the clay?

I too have heavy compacted soil. Water eventually soaks through, albeit slowly. I have a slow drip system which dispenses 2 gallons of water in an hour which is slow enough to absorb into the soil and the roots of the plant. Hint for installation. Don't pound them into the ground. I used a 1" auger a predrilled a 24" deep hole and then set the pipe. If you pound them in you'll have a ton of trouble. You'll never drive it 24" into hard soil and you'll damage the pipe and cap trying to do so.

Q: How do you know how long of a spike you need? I have adult citrus trees that are getting hot in Arizona

I live in the Phoenix area and attended a very informative seminar last weekend. Trees should be deep watered to a depth of 2-3 feet. After watering, to determine how deeply you have watered, get a 4 ft long piece of 5/8" rebar and shove it down into the ground as far as it will go. When you can't go any further, it means you have hit dry ground. Make a mark, pull it out, and measure. Another great tip: 'if you use a water irrigator spike ( like the Ross root feeder or similar), drive it into the ground at intervals all around the water line of your tree. The ground in this area is so hard that the hole you have created will stay open for years., so when surface watering or when it rains, the water will get straight down to the roots.

Q: What are they made of ?

The stake and the cap are made from a very strong plastic. the stake is lined with a fine mesh screen that keeps the soil out as the water seeps into the soil. Depending upon the plant's root structure, I have installed all three lengths. This is an excellent product.

Q: Can the 36inch model be cut down to 24-30inches, and then have the cap be put back on? I am aware they sell a 24inch model

Possibly, but you are making it harder for yourself because you'll be getting you drill closer to the ground in the process and possibly getting dirt into it. If buying a 24 inch will work then go with that method. Just my 2 cents.
