• Best-In-Class coefficient of variation (Cv's) – below 3%
• Extra large cross sectional area helps prevent clogging

Description:

This is Grandrip for use in commercial and non commercial applications (nursery, garden, or orchard use) where high uniformity of water application and conservation is desired. Drip tape contains an internal emitter set at specified spacings which regulate the amount of water (flow rate) emitted from each outlet.  Using drip irrigation over other methods has show benefits like increased yields, less run off, less weed pressure by application of water directly to the root zone, chemigation (injection of fertilizers and other chemicals through the drip tape is highly uniform (minimize leaching) and saves on operation costs), lessens disease pressure associated with overhead systems, low operating pressure (energy efficient compared to high pressure systems), and more. We have several spacings and flow rates available. Contact us if you need help in choosing the correct style or for design assistance. Length per reel varies by mil thickness  and weight is just under 25kg.  This product is new and carries the original Warranty.

Wall Thickness: It is best to go with a thicker wall to avoid damage issues that may be caused by insects or mechanical operation.  All tape is considered a thinwall product and the guide below is just general reference.

• 16 mil (0.40mm)(thick wall) 1000m per roll: used for multiple season crops where tape can be retrieved or permanent installations.  Can be applied above ground.  This is the most popular for backyard vegetable gardeners, nurseries, and long term crops.
• 12 mil/0.30mm (medium thickness)1500m per roll: used for multiple season crops and where tape can be retrieved.  Most popular in strawberries and general vegetable crops.
• 10 mil/0.2mm (thinwall) 1500m per roll: used for seasonal crops with ideal soil conditions where tape will not be reused and minimal insect pressure.  Used mainly by more experienced growers and larger acreage vegetable/row crop production.

• 8 mil/0.2mm (thinwall) 2000m per roll: used for short term crops in sandy soils where tape will not be reused and minimal insect pressure.  Recommended for the experienced grower with the ideal conditions.
