Key Performance Features
  • Double-Hole Emitter Outlet
    Each emitter is equipped with two water outlet holes, which significantly reduces the risk of clogging from soil, debris, or insects. This dual-outlet design ensures more reliable water distribution even if one hole becomes obstructed — a key advantage for surface and shallow sub-surface installations.
  • Turbulent Flow Path
    Emitters use a wide, multi-zone turbulent flow channel (0.9 mm width) to promote self-cleaning action, minimizing sediment build-up and ensuring long-term operation.
  • Extended UV Resistance
    Manufactured from high-grade polyethylene with UV inhibitors, FLOMAX-UV resists degradation from prolonged sun exposure and withstands repeated reuse cycles.
  • Large Filter Inlet Area
    Each emitter includes a large integrated filter zone, providing effective first-line filtration for water containing suspended particles.
  • Precision Flow Uniformity
    With a coefficient of variation (CV) under 5%, FLOMAX-UV provides uniform flow throughout the lateral, enhancing plant health and yield consistency.
  • Robust Construction
    Thicker wall options improve resistance to physical damage during layout, maintenance, and collection, making this line suitable for multi-seasonal use.
Application Use Cases
  • Open-field row crops and vegetables
  • Seasonal crops in regions with high UV exposure
  • Greenhouses and tunnels with low-pressure systems
  • Short to medium-length laterals with challenging water quality
  • Farms using surface or shallow sub-surface drip systems
