16mm Pressure Compensating Drip Line 1000FT Farm Drip Irrigation System

Shallow Burial:is when the drip line or tape is buried only a few centimeters below the ground level. Doing this allows growers to achieve many of the benefits of subsurface irrigation while overcoming disruption to irrigation lines from other factors, like wind disturbance.
 
Deep Burial:is when the drip line or tape is buried at least 10cm (4in) or more below surface level. This is typically done for multi-season use where the same drip line or tape works for anything from a few years up to over 20 years in some cases.

1. Filters & Valves:Optimal water filtration is the first vital step to ensure the process works optimally and that your plants get the best quality water. Filtration is the barrier between contaminants and your drip laterals, offering protection, clogging, and maximizing system longevity.

2. Control Valves, Air Valves, Fertigation & Monitoring Equipment:
Valves, fertigation, and monitoring equipment safeguards, and through automation, helps you end-to-end manage your irrigation structure. Automated fertigation through SDI is a key labor-saving measure, with just the push of a button remotely an irrigation cycle, that includes a preset fertigation application, can be set in motion.

3. Drip Laterals:These are the lines or tapes that carry the water underground. It pays to make the right choice in drip laterals. Choose an inferior option and you will pay for years to come; a superior option will provide uniform application so that all crops receive adequate water and nutrients means you will reap the rewards for years to come. Drip laterals are built to be highly resistant to clogging, ensuring many seasons of trouble-free use.

Efficient Water Use:
Compared to sprinkler irrigation, where water evaporation can be up to levels of 45%, underground irrigation eliminates surface water evaporation.
Enhanced Crop Yield and Health:
When a drip lateral is buried at 30 cm, roots need to 'chase' the water. This leads to a very healthy root structure that penetrates deep into the ground as opposed to concentrating on the surface.
Reduced Weed Growth and Soil Erosion:
Using direct irrigation on plants (like SDI) prevents water from reaching the spaces between rows in fields or orchards. As a result, weed growth is reduced, herbicide costs drop, and overall chemical usage decreases.

Q1: What scenarios are drip tapes suitable for?
Ideal for extended, flat fields like vegetable beds, strawberry hills, and open-row farming. Avoid use on winding, hilly, or irregular ground.
 
Q2: Why must drip tapes operate under low pressure?
A: Drip tapes have a thin wall, and high pressure can cause rupture. Low-pressure-specific valves and a pressure regulator are recommended to install to ensure the system pressure does not exceed the maximum rated value (e.g., 8–15 PSI).
 
Q3: Can drip tapes be buried underground?
A: Yes. Drip tapes can be placed on the surface, under covers, or buried underground (subsurface drip irrigation). When buried, ensure the emitters face upwards.
 
Q4: Which side should the colored stripes on the drip tape face?
A: The striped side should face up to ensure the emitters are facing upwards, preventing clogging.
 
Q5: Can holes be punched on drip tape to add emitters?
A: Not recommended. The tape already has pre-set emitters inside. Punching holes can damage the structure and cause leaks or clogging.

Q6: How long does drip tape last?
A: 6 mil thickness: 1 season; 10–15 mil: 3–5 years (depending on UV protection and maintenance).
 
Q7: Can drip tape be flushed?
A: Chemical flushing is possible, but harsh chemicals may degrade the material, leading to damage or reduced lifespan.
 
Q8: Does drip tape require a filter?
A: Yes. It is recommended to install a 150-200 mesh filter to prevent sand and dirt from clogging emitters and valves.

Q9: Can drip tape be used on slopes?
On level ground with a slope of 3% or less, non-PC drip lines featuring turbulent emitters can deliver water evenly at over 90% consistency. When the slope exceeds 3%, pressure-compensating drip tape is advised.

Q10: Can drip tape be used in greenhouses or for potted plants?
A: Yes, but it should be matched with a low-flow system. It is recommended to use a short-spacing model (e.g., 20 cm) with low flow (1.38 L/h).
 
Q11: Can drip tape be used for fruit trees?
A: Not recommended. Fruit trees require a large amount of water; it is recommended to use dripline or button emitter systems instead.
 
Q12: Can drip tape be used in an automated system?
A: Yes. With solenoid valves, timers, and pressure regulators, it can be controlled automatically in different zones.

Q13: Can drip tape be used for multiple seasons?
A: Yes, it can be reused, but it must be recovered, cleaned, and stored in a dark place at the end of the season, or it will deteriorate.
