BOWSMITH | NonStop Drip Emitters
The Bowsmith NonStop emitter design, patented in 1974, is based on a simple unique principle found in no other emitter. This Pressure Cascade Principle permits the emitter to tolerate large amounts of suspended solids in irrigation water, without clogging and without the need for fine-mesh filter screens.
For over 40 years, millions of Bowsmith NonStop emitters have demonstrated that the unique NonStop Continuous Flushing Action (Pressure Cascade Principle) really works, even under conditions that would quickly clog ordinary emitters. With only 30-mesh filtration, Bowsmith NonStop emitters have operated successfully with water containing heavy concentrations of sand, silt, iron bacteria “slime”, calcium carbonates, even algae and moss. To the grower and contractor this means:
For over 40 years, millions of Bowsmith NonStop emitters have demonstrated that the unique NonStop Continuous Flushing Action (Pressure Cascade Principle) really works, even under conditions that would quickly clog ordinary emitters. With only 30-mesh filtration, Bowsmith NonStop emitters have operated successfully with water containing heavy concentrations of sand, silt, iron bacteria “slime”, calcium carbonates, even algae and moss. To the grower and contractor this means:
- Reduction in plant loss and stress.
- Lower capital investment in filtration equipment.
- Lower labor costs for filter maintenance and overall system maintenance.
The use of very fine mesh screen (140 – 200 mesh) filtration that is necessary for ordinary emitters is not recommended for Bowsmith NonStop emitters. Why? Because of the necessity for frequent cleaning of the filters.
SB Series
- Single outlet.
- 175” O.D. or 0.250” O.D. inlet/outlet barb connections on opposite ends. Either can be used as outlet.
- Accessories: riser or feeder tubing for extending the emitter away from the water supply.
M200 Series
- Six open outlets. Each maintains its own flow path.
- 250” barb inlet.
- Includes full set (6 each) of elbow/outlet caps, and line plugs.
- One-piece elbow/outlet cap fixes position of elbow to prevent it from coming loose in application. 0.175” barb for secure attachment of spreader tubing.
- The elbow is easily reversed to cap off any unused outlets.
- Line plugs can be placed in the end of the spreader tubes to help keep bugs out, but still allow passage of water.
Series 2000
Flow Distributor
- Two devices in one: drip emitter and pressure regulator.
- Pressure regulator operates on supply pressure from 15 to 100 PSI.
