Netafim Techline AS XR Purple (Bionet AS XR) with built in Copper Oxide

Root-Resistant, Anti-Siphon Dripline for Safe and Efficient Greywater Irrigation

The Netafim Bionet AS XR Purple is a high-quality 13mm subsurface dripline engineered for greywater reuse and non-potable water applications. It combines anti-siphon technology with a Copper Oxide-impregnated root barrier, offering a long-term, chemical-free solution to prevent root intrusion in buried drip systems.

Manufactured from UV-stabilised purple polyethylene, this dripline is purpose-built for subsurface irrigation in residential and commercial landscapes. Its pressure-compensating (PC) emitters ensure uniform water distribution, even on sloping ground, while self-flushing technology helps maintain clog-free performance.

FEATURES

• Copper Oxide Root Barrier: Diaphragm cover is moulded with Copper Oxide, delivering a permanent and safe defence against root intrusion—no chemical dosing required.
• Anti-Siphon Technology (AS): Prevents "suck-back" of debris into emitters during system shutdown, reducing the risk of clogging.
• Pressure-Compensating Drippers: Ensures even water application across the entire line—ideal for variable terrain or long runs.
• Subsurface Use Only: Designed for buried installation in greywater and effluent systems to minimise exposure and maximise efficiency.
• Water-Saving Efficiency: Reduces water consumption by up to 60% compared to traditional overhead irrigation.
• Self-Flushing Emitters: Automatically clear debris as it builds up, helping maintain consistent performance with minimal maintenance.
