Ideal for germination in nurseries and greenhouses, VibroNet uses innovative vibration technology. This helps to deliver a perfect distribution of fine droplets across the germination table. This helps you achieve significantly higher germination rates and healthy seedlings.
SpinNet micro sprinklers are made without a "bridge" to produce a drip-less operation. This means that plants located below the sprinklers are not damaged from water dripping off the sprinkler. SpinNet hangs below the supply pipe preventing the pipe from getting wet and dripping onto the plants below
SuperNet and NetJet Sprinklers
These pressure regulated sprinklers keep an even flow across a broad range of pressures. Featuring an EverSpin Sapphire Bearing which is the toughest, hardest sprinkler bearing on the market. The Everspin bearing has a layer of sapphire material to reduce friction and wear, promoting long-lasting sprinkler performance. The bearing keeps the swivel centered during operation and improves start-up.
NetJet is a low maintenance open spray jet that delivers better performance at 5 psi lower operating pressures. This maximizes efficiency and yields while lowering water usage and labor. Specially designed for orchards, vineyards, and nurseries.
MegaNet Sprinklers
