UPSIDE-DOWN MICRO-EMITTERS 

HANDBOOK

MICRO-SPRINKLERS/EMITTERS ASSORTMENT

Filtration

NOTE

The filtration method is to be selected based upon the type and concentration of dirt particles 

existing in the water.

• 

Wherever sand exceeding 2 ppm exists in the water, a hydrocyclone sand separator is to be

installed upstream from the main filter.

• 

When sand/silt/clay solids exceed 100 ppm, preliminary treatment is to be applied according to

guidelines issued by Netafim's team of experts.

Features and benefits

• 

SpinNet™ micro-sprinklers are constructed without a "bridge" to retain the spinner. This benefit produces:

a. A drip-less operation 

assuring that plants placed underneath the micro-sprinklers are not damaged by

water dripping.

b. A shadow-less operation

 providing a higher distribution uniformity without dry areas where the water

distribution is obstructed by a "bridge".

• 

Interchangeable components. SpinNet™ micro-sprinklers can be disassembled manually should they 

need cleaning - no tools are required.

• 

Acid resistant (AA) raw materials, thus allowing the application chemicals to pass through the system. 

• 

The system can be cleaned by application of suitable acid treatments.

WARNING

When handling acid, always observe the product safety instructions and avoid acid coming in 
contact with the crop, the soil/substrate and the environment.

• 

Excellent distribution uniformity on a full coverage irrigation system.

• 

It is strongly recommended to connect the SpinNet™ to the distribution pipe with a SSPE (super soft PE)

micro-tube, a specifically designed stabilizer and AD (anti-drain) valve (anti-drain) that will prevent 
distribution pipe drainage.

Wetted diameter

*Wetted diameter at 1.8 meter height above 

surface and 2.5 bar working pressure. At least
0.5 mm/h

*The constant K and exponent X enable real flow 

rate calculations at different working pressures 
using the formula: 

Q (l/h) = K*(P(meter)^X)

.
