Bowsmith Non Clog Dripper Emitter - 3.0 GPH - Yellow - 1000 Count

Clog-Resistant Drip Flow at 3.0 GPH - 1000 Emitters

Emitters that clog leave plants stressed and send you out to clean lines. This Bowsmith dripper uses a flow path made of a series of orifices in a silicone diaphragm. When debris lodges in one orifice, the pressure drop across it rises and the orifice enlarges until the obstruction passes. Bowsmith recommends 30 mesh filtration as a minimum.

This unit holds 1000 emitters, which suits commercial growers, large irrigation installations and anyone equipping many drip points at once. Growers who need only a few emitters will find the count far more than a trial or small garden requires.

Key Features & Benefits

• 3.0 GPH flow rate — gives a defined output at each drip point for planning your irrigation.
• Silicone diaphragm flow path — orifices that enlarge to pass debris reduce the chance of blockage.
• 30 mesh minimum filtration — a coarser filter than many emitters need, which can limit filtration equipment.
• Yellow body — makes this flow rate easy to identify in the field.
• 1000 count — covers large layouts from a single purchase.

Who Should Use Bowsmith Non Clog Dripper Emitter

Commercial growers, nursery operators and large-scale cultivators who run drip irrigation on water that carries sediment or biological growth will benefit most. It also suits anyone replacing many emitters in an existing system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What flow rate does this emitter deliver?
A: It is rated at 3.0 GPH. Yellow identifies this flow rate in this product.

Q: What filtration should I use?
A: Bowsmith recommends 30 mesh filtration as a minimum. Finer filtration is not specified as required.

Q: How does the emitter resist clogging?
A: The flow path is a series of orifices in a silicone diaphragm. If debris restricts one orifice, the pressure drop across it increases and the orifice enlarges until the debris passes.

Q: What is an orifice?
A: An orifice is a small opening that restricts water flow. In this emitter, pressure is divided across several of them in sequence.

Q: How many emitters come in one unit?
A: One unit contains 1000 emitters. It is sold as a single item.

Q: Is it suitable for small hobby setups?
A: It works at any scale, but 1000 emitters is a large quantity. Hobbyists may prefer a smaller count.
