Weskush Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Pretty cool. Surely not a new invention, just a refined drip irrigation line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyCLown Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 @greenkush Mentioned these to me a while back, however I believe you need to use the pressure compensator / regulator drippers and then connect that to the Netbow. When I tried the pressure compensating drippers previously I could not get enough pressure from my water pump for it to work, so you'd need a larger than average water pump I rate. Also you'd need to have it on a timer. Otherwise it looks great and possibly a cheaper option for bigger grows compared to watering systems like Blumats and Autopots - which I feel are perhaps more feasible for smaller grows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenkush Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I still need to follow up with the guy and actually order a bunch, they're not that expensive at all just getting them is a pain due to no online store. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnob Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Hmmm... this is a pretty interesting read Found this, there might be a bit of fat added though, what do they go for direct from the supplier?: https://www.growfolk.co.za/brand/netafim/ 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I can tell from reading all the info is that you should not exceed 4 bar in pressure. If you use a pump more that 4 bar you need to connect a pressure regulator from the line to the dripped. I may be wrong. Will tel you after I test them this afternoon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will be beneficial to have a pressure regulator regardless, help ensure consistent flow rates between all the netbows? Please do let us know how it goes though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkunkPharm Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 No regulators necessary. Tested and operational. I connected them to my normal submersible pump and no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkunkPharm Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I hooked up 4 drippers and they do about 100ml every minute. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
