Site Conditions & Solutions
The right drip irrigation product
starts with the site condition.
Every Techline® product is purpose-built
Not all driplines handle what your site will throw at them.
Steep grades, root pressure, reclaimed water, tight LEED specs, Techline® solutions are engineered for each condition.
Why drip irrigation makes sense
A low pressure system that delivers only what the plant needs, directly to the root zone.
Drip irrigation delivers water exactly where plants absorb it, reducing waste, overspray, and disease pressure.
Root zone precision
Match emitter output to plant needs.
Flexible layouts
Works for any bed shape.
Dry foliage
Reduces plant disease.
Expandable
Scales as your landscape grows.
How a Techline®
drip irrigation system flows.
From the water source to the root zone of every plant, each component works as a connected system rather than a collection of individual parts.
Filter
Removes debris before it reaches emitters. Proper mesh selection prevents clogging and extends system life.
Netafim filters →Pressure regulator
Reduces pressure to optimal operating range. Often combined with filters in one unit.
Control Zone Kits →Dripline
Pressure-compensating emitters deliver uniform flow across any slope or run length.
Techline® products →Root zone
Water reaches roots directly — no evaporation, overspray, or runoff.
Result: efficient and compliantHead to head
Drip irrigation versus overhead spray systems
Switching to drip irrigation is not a preference. It is a direct response to performance failures spray systems are not designed to solve.
| Performance factor | Techline® drip irrigation Recommended | Rotors & sprinklers |
|---|---|---|
| Water delivery | Root zone delivery. Zero evaporation. | 20–50% lost to evaporation and drift. |
| Slopes | Uniform flow from PC emitters. | Uneven distribution with elevation changes. |
| Irregular beds | Precise placement in any layout. | Arc limited and overspray is unavoidable. |
| Drought restrictions | Often exempt from bans. | First restricted by regulations. |
| Plant health | Dry foliage reduces disease. | Wet foliage increases disease risk. |
| LEED | LEED-qualifying products | No standard pathway |
| Maintenance | No exposed heads. Minimal upkeep. | Frequent breakage and adjustments required. |
