Flow-regulated dripper DripNet PC™ AS XR HWD

pressure-compensatedfor orchards

Product overview
Integral compact pressure-compensated dripper with built-in anti-siphon mechanism and XR root intrusion protection. Engineered for permanent subsurface drip installations where long-term resistance to root ingress and reliable pressure compensation are required. Suitable for growers seeking fast return on investment in permanent crops.

Suitable crops

• Apples
• Citrus
• Table grapes

Benefits & features

• Extra root intrusion protection (XR): Patented root inhibitor integrated in the dripper cover prevents roots entering the dripper labyrinth without relying on chemical application; non‑migrating active ingredients ensure long-lasting protection.
• Pressure-compensated: Delivers uniform flow across a wide pressure range for consistent water and nutrient distribution along laterals.
• Anti-siphon mechanism: Prevents backflow and contamination ingress, making it suitable for subsurface systems.
• Continuously self-flushing: Operational flushing reduces debris accumulation to maintain stable performance in challenging water qualities.
• Wide filtration area: Reduces sediment entry into flow channels and labyrinths to improve clogging resistance.
• Wide water passages (TurboNet™ labyrinth): Large, deep flow channels draw water from the center stream to minimise sediment ingress and enhance clog resistance.

Installation environment

• Designed for subsurface installation (permanent drip lines)
• Intended service life: more than 8 seasons with correct maintenance
• Suitable for flat terrains and sites with topographic variation
• Engineered to operate under challenging water quality conditions
