Amnon Drip PC, CNL & AS

PC Amnon—an innovative, pressure-compensating dripline with special anti-sypon and
compensating non-leakage models, based on the cascade labyrinth. Special model include
Amnon CNL (Pressure-compensated non-drainage design) and Amnon PC AS (Pres-
sure-compensated anti-siphon design). Amnon emitterline is the choice for greenhouses,
vegetables and orchards.
Product Features
■ Pressure-Compensating (PC) for maximum accuracy at variable topography and long
laterals
■ Cascade labyrinth provides strong self-cleaning turbulence
CNL ■ Hydrodynamic dripper design ensures continuous flushing of sediments and small dirt
particles
■ Low CV for maximal uniformity
■ Weir structure prevents root intrusion and sand separation
■ Side water inlet structure improves clog resistance
■ High-quality diaphragm
Applications
■ Versatile, all-purpose dripline
■ Pulse irrigation of greenhouses, vegetables and orchards
■ Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI)
AS
■ Reduces filling time for large fields with long rows
Special Models
■ CNL: Pressure-compensating non-drainage design reduces lateral filling time and
facilitates pulse irrigation.
■ AS: Pressure compensating anti-syphon design prevents suction at draining stage.
Suitable for subsurface drip irrigation.

Maintenance and Troubleshoot Guide
Water quality is a factor in maintaining micro-irrigation systems. A water quality test will measure silt or
sand; algae; bacteria; dissolved solids such as iron, sulfar, salts, and calcium; and the pH of the water. For
more information on micro-irrigation system maintenance, contact your Extension agent and
micro-irrigation manufacturer.
Maintenance Tasks
■ Annually treat system with acid to neutralize calcium carbonates if the water is “hard.” Consult
equipment manufacturer for type of acid and treatment interval.
Regularly
■ Irrigation system evaluation by trained professional is highly recommended
■ Check for leaks, rodent damage, and mechanical damage
■ Inspect pressure-regulating valves and pressure gauges for correct operation and pressure readings.
Liquid-filled pressure gauges are recommended
■ Flush lateral lines. Depending on water quality and filtration system, flushing should be done bi-weekly
are after fertilizer or chemical injection or chlorination
■ Regularly check for and clean or replace clogged emitters.
■ Check emitters for correct flow.Take precise measurements at least twice each year by catching the flow
from several emitters in a calibrated cylinder (such as rain gauge) during a carefully time interval
■ Backwash filters either manually or using automatic cycle, depending on system design and type of filter.
■ Replace cartridge filters.
■ If media (such as sand) cakes, replace media. For sand filters, periodically supplement with additional
media
■ Chlorinate system with 10 ppm if water has high organic load.
■ If clogging due to organic matter continues to be problem, inject 50-100 ppm of chlorine and allow to
sit for 24 hours.
■ If clogging due to precipitates (such as calcium carbonate) persists, inject system with acid to lower pH
to about 5.0 Allow to sit for 24 hours. Contact equipment manufacturer before undertaking this task
to determine the minimum pH allowable for system type.
At Season Shutdown
■ Treat entire system with 40 ppm residual chlorine concentration for at least four hours, and completely
flush the system.
■ Drain water from all pipelines. The system may have to be blown out lateral by lateral with an air
compressor to accomplish this. Don’t exceed 15 to 20 psi of air pressure, or you’ll blow off the emitters.
Polyethylene pipes can withstand some freezing without breaking, so it isn’t critical that all water be
removed. In cases where remaining water may be a problem, however, add a gallon of non-toxic
antifreeze (type used in RV’s) to the piping system and distribute it throughout with compressed air.
More antifreeze may be necessary for larger systems.
