WHICH TECHLINE AS™ PRODUCT SHOULD YOU USE?
From Table 1 (below), answer two questions:
1.
Are you irrigating Garden or Turf?
2.
Is the soil type Light, Medium or Heavy?
Follow the relevant column listed under Garden or Turf to identify the proper Techline
AS™. Example – if you choose “Garden”, with “Medium” soil, 1.6L/H 0.4m Techline
AS™ is recommended.
(Each dripper will deliver 1.6L/H and the drippers, mounted
inside the dripperline are spaced 0.4m apart.)
What other information is in the General Guidelines Chart?
1.
How far to spread out the dripperline lateral is listed on the “Lateral
(Row)
Spacing”
line.
(For example, rows should be evenly spaced from 0.4m to 0.5m apart)
2.
The corresponding application rates and time to apply are listed under the “Lateral
Spacing” line.
(With rows of 1.6L/H Techline AS™ every 0.4m apart, the application
rate is 10mm per hour and so it will take 60 minutes to apply 10mm of water. If the
rows are 0.5m apart, the application rate is 8.0mm per hour and will take 75
minutes to apply 10mm of water. Refer to Table 1 for other spacing configurations).
