Techfilter® - The Guaranteed Root Intrusion Terminator™
PRODUCT HOME | FILTERS HOME | Techfilter Technical Information

Insurance Against Root Intrusion - Our revolutionary Techfilter protects against roots invading the system. Here's how it works: Trifluralin is incorporated into the replacement disc ring assemblies inside the filter housing. When water passes through the filter, a very low concentration of trifluralin (parts per billion) is transmitted throughout the system. This technology provides very precise and even distribution of trifluralin throughout the piping network and effectively inhibits root growth into the dripper outlets.

Proper Filtration - Filters are an integral part of every drip system. No system should be designed or assembled without proper filtration. The primary function is to filter out contaminants that could plug the small orifices of the drippers. Netafim's Techfilter serves a secondary purpose of protecting against roots invading the system.

Exclusive Netafim USA Techfilter Limited Lifetime Extended Warranty.

Lifetime Warranty

Every Netafim Techfilter carries a 2-Year-to-Lifetime Warranty. Proper use and timely replacement of the cartridge will keep the Lifetime Extended Warranty in force.

Replaceable Techfilter disc cartridges come in conveniently sealed packages which have two benefits: extended shelf life and simple, clean replacement of the complete cartridge without having to touch the rings.

NOTE: Techfilter with Techline CV or Techline Dripperline is sold together for use on a new installation. Techfilter is sold as part of a system and cannot be sold without the proper amount of dripperline.

Techfilter Installation and Mounting Instructions - The installation of the Techfilter is no different than any other filter. It is advisable to install the filter so the filter rings are easily removed for periodic cleaning of contaminants and replacement of the rings at the end of their effective life. The filter should be mounted so the cover can be easily disassembled and the ring set, when removed, will not drop dirt or particle contaminants back into the filter body. Do not install the filter in direct sunlight.

Effective Use and Replacement Guidelines - The Techfilter can effectively protect the system from root intrusion for 200 hours of use, but not longer than 2 years of service. We recommend the replacement of the filter cartridge following the above guidelines.
