Pressure-compensating dripper, flow rate 2L/hour, yellow color

Consistent Irrigation on Uneven Terrain

When working with plots where elevation changes are a challenge, standard emitters become a gamble: plants at the bottom get flooded, while those on the slope suffer from drought. The pressure-compensating emitter by Santehplast with a flow rate of 2 liters per hour solves this problem effectively. The core feature is a precision membrane that stabilizes water flow regardless of pressure fluctuations in the supply line. In practice, this ensures that even on long irrigation runs, the last plant in the row receives exactly as much moisture as the first.

Operational Highlights

• Stable Flow: A rate of 2 l/h is the “sweet spot” for precision irrigation of fruit trees, berry bushes, and vegetables.
• Visual Identification: The yellow body color allows operators to instantly identify the system's output during routine visual inspections without squinting at small labels.
• Installation and Durability: The emitter is designed for easy installation into 16mm or 20mm blind tubing using a standard punch tool. The plastic housing is UV-stabilized, which is essential for long-term outdoor operation.

Maintenance Tips

To keep the system free from salt buildup and sediment, using a high-quality inline filtration system is mandatory. Although the Santehplast emitters are designed for disassembly and manual cleaning, prevention is far more efficient than dismantling dozens of units during the peak season. If you are using fertigation, always flush the system with clean water after each feeding cycle — this simple habit will extend the lifespan of the pressure-regulating membrane by several seasons.

This model is a pragmatic choice for growers who value consistent, predictable results across every meter of their field without overpaying for imported labels.
