Pressure Compensated Inline Dripper Hose

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.

Maximum length of single run (with 3 bar inlet pressure): 100m

• 25m, 50m & 100m dripper irrigation pipe with 33cm dripper distance. 16mm diameter.
• Drippers consist of specialised matrix inserts which are highly resistant to clogging and give a slow and steady water flow: 2L/h
• 15 minutes twice a day is usually enough for most crops.
• Use 16mm supply pipe and fittings.

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. Can be used with a 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.
• Use a filter if using well water.
