Azud Premier PC Dripper Pipe 400m (33, 50 & 100cm Dripper Distance)

Azud Premier Pressure Compensated Dripper Pipe

The pressure compensated dripper pipe incorporates more specialised dripper valves which offset the uneven watering effect which can occur with standard dripper pipes on uneven ground and in the case of long distances where the drippers closest to the feed end can release more water than those at the closed ends. Pressure compensated pipe is not suitable for low pressure or gravity feeds. Azud Premier is a highly sophisticated dripper pipe which has multiple features to insure an even watering under any type of terrain, as well as a long life span.

• Protection - inbuilt self cleaning 3D filtration system works to keep out particles (filtration still recommended to insure longest possible service life)
• Uniformity - pharmaceutical technology is used to create the silicone membrane in the heart of the dripper. The quality and durability of this part is what insures the long working life of the pipe
• Anti-clogging - a patented self-cleaning labyrinth made up of elliptical cavities prevents the build up of solids
• Anti-roots - the emitters are specially designed to inhibit root intrusion

Maximum length of single run (with 3 bar inlet pressure):

• 33cm Spacing - 140m
• 50cm Spacing - 200m
• 100cm Spacing - 360m

Advantages of dripline irrigation:

• Improved plant growth, as there is continuous soil moisture which penetrates deep into the root zone
• Efficient use of water since less is wasted by evaporation and leaching
• Reduced nutrient loss from over-watering and leaching. Use timer or irrigation controller
• Weed growth is reduced since you're only watering along the crop rows
• Foliage remains dry, reducing the risk of disease
• Azud Premier can be buried or covered with mulch
