What is the benefit of pressure compensating emitters?
PC emitters deliver a precise amount of water regardless of changes in pressure due to long rows or changes in terrain. They can simplify the designing of a system and greatly reduce maintenance since they rarely get plugged.
What are compensating emitters?
Pressure Compensating, or PC, is a term used to describe an emitter that maintains the same output at varying water inlet pressures. Therefore, PC drip emitters compensate for uneven terrain, length of supply tube and varying inlet flows.
