Why DripNet PC™ AS XR?

  • SUPERB ROI: Achieve excellent subsurface drip irrigation performance for your budget - without compromising a drop on reliability or crop uniformity.
  • Double-action root protection: Physical root barrier protects against root intrusion into the dripper while innovative non-migrating copper oxide resin mixed into the dripper cover inhibits root growth within the dripper labyrinth throughout its lifespan.
  • System-draining protection: Anti-Siphon mechanism prevents suction of sand, dirt and contaminants into the dripperline during system draining - eliminating the risk of clogging, or partial clogging.
  • Uniform flow in any topography: Wide effective filtration area and short water passage, plus self-cleaning technology, assures 100% uniformity of water and nutrient distribution in long laterals and sloping or uneven terrain.
  • Never clogs: Self-flushing system continuously flushes out debris to ensure optimal dripper performance and increased filtration efficiency even with harsh water.
  • Perfect fit for your needs: 7 different flow rates, (0.4 up to 3.8 L/H) and wide range of pipe diameters can address any condition or application.
