PCDI Irrigation

It is commonly required on heavy clay soils where soakage is limited, and it is important that the treated water is spread evenly.

• PCDI has small emitters allowing a limited flow, this forces the liquid to distribute across the entire field rather than pooling in one area.
• Due to the fine emitters, the treatment plant must treat to secondary level and the lines regularly cleaned.
• The PCDI lines can be of varying lengths and run across contour to a certain degree, giving much more flexibility to the layout and shape of the irrigation area.
• At the end of the lines are flush taps, that allow the flushing out of any contaminants that might build up over time, it is best done with clean water. At the end of the main feed line is the end flush tap. It is similar to other flush taps, but some systems will have a hose fitting for back flushing properties.
• If your irrigation is buried, the flush taps will be found under purple flush boxes. These have a purple lid and sit flat to the ground to allow the area to be mowed.
