About the Self-Cleaning Dripper

As shown below, Techline is continuously self-cleaning during operation, not just at the beginning and end of a cycle. The result is dependable, clog free operation, year after year.

1. Regulating Mode
Water flows freely along the center of the tubing, keeping debris out of the dripper itself. Techline's exclusive diaphragm and labyrinth design ensures a consistent flow rate.

3. Flushing Cycle
Diaphragm flexes and any particles are washed out of the regulating chamber.

2. Flushing Cycle Initiation
Particles create back pressure and push back the diaphragm to initiate the flush cycle.

4. Regulating Mode
After flushing, Techline automatically resumes its regulating mode.

Techline CV's Self-Cleaning,
Pressure Compensating Dripper

The Check Valve feature adds the next level of water conservation to your irrigation system. When the zone shuts off, the drippers close themselves, thus holding the water in the tubing. This prevents the water from escaping as wasted water and ensures that the next time the zone operates, the dripperlines do not need to be refilled with water before they begin running. This feature alone can save hundreds or thousands of gallons of water annually, even on a small system.

Techline's Self-Cleaning,
Pressure Compensating Dripper

The fully self-contained unit molded to the interior wall of the dripper tubing itself. Both tubing and dripper housing are manufactured from high quality synthetic elastomers to withstand chemicals and fertilizers.
