"Targeted" or "Strip" frost control has gained tremendous interest in vineyards in recent years - primarily due to the concept's water saving potential. But growers have discovered two serious flaws with these ultra low-flow sprinklers: |
They can freeze up - just when you need them the most. |
Proper sprinkler alignment, which is critical to the success of targeted systems, is very difficult and costly to maintain. |
| |
After three years of global research and field tests, Netafim has solved these problems and more - with the new StripNet Frost Control |
| |
|
StripNet field test conducted at 24˚F, near King City, California, in March of 2002. |

Reliability - You Can Count On
Repeated field tests have shown that StripNet's continuous flow allows it to run reliably below freezing (as low as 24˚F). Your actual results may vary depending upon the source water temperature, system design, start-up temperature and dew point.
Unmatched Performance
The StripNet is flow-regulating, making it the perfect choice for hillside applications or longer rows. |
Energy and Water Saving
The StripNet Frost Control System operates as low as 20 GPM per acre (depending upon vine row spacing) - less than half the water required by full-coverage sprinkler systems.
Maintenance-Free
Alignment problems are solved with the unique, grower-designed Strip-Stake mounting system - just install it and forget it. Proper alignment is automatic. |
