DIG's antileak device is a water pressure valve which opens and closes instantly when pressure builds up. This action prevents the micro sprinklers or misters from dripping as a result of the gradual increase or decrease in water pressure when opening and closing the system. The antileak devise can be used with all DIG products.
Applications:
- Greenhouse irrigation and misting systems
- Seedling and rooting systems
- Pulse irrigation to avoid air formation in the pipe and the time required for pressure to rise after each pulse
- Slope irrigation to prevent the overflow of water emptying the line when the water is shut off
Features:
- Designed with a stainless steel spring for long lasting, uniform operation
- Can be connected to micro sprinkler, mister or fogger from either side
- Wide water passage for low maintenance
- Prevents damage to sensitive plants caused by dripping at the beginning and end of each irrigation cycle
- Pulse irrigation system to avoid air formation in the pipe and in each pressure rise in the system
- Prevents overflow drain from the lateral when water is shut off
