The Netafim Woodpecker non-pressure-compensating dripper uses Netafim's TurboNet wide-channel labyrinth design to resist clogging in low-pressure and gravity-fed systems. Unlike the PCJ (pressure-compensating) Woodpecker Junior, this model's flow rate varies with inlet pressure - making it the right choice for stable, low-pressure systems where pressure regulation is already handled upstream, or for installations like gravity tanks and low-head drip setups. Color-coded by flow rate (Red = 0.5 GPH, Black = 1.0 GPH, Green = 2.0 GPH) for fast identification across large installations.
PC vs. non-PC: which do you need If your system has variable pressure across long runs, elevation changes, or multiple zones, use the PCJ (pressure-compensating Woodpecker Junior). For stable, lower-pressure systems where you want a simpler, lower-cost emitter, this non-PC version is the right choice.
