- The fewer the parts
- The more efficient the install
- Giving better results
We started with a strong pipe, designed to withstand pressure, but not heavy and cumbersome like some others. Our pipe maker is one of the worlds’ largest and most respected water reticulation system manufacturers. The concept of reticulation is to quickly reapply the correct termiticide volume. The expected life of the treatment is specified on the product label. The system is designed and approved for perimeter use, to keep the installation as efficient as possible.
The pipe has been designed for maximum performance by putting the emitters at 100mm spacings and with as few components as needed, there is a minimal reduction of pressure and maximum flow between the pump and the emitters.
The best performance of the system has been achieved with emitters at 100mm spacings and a maximum run length of 35 metres. The internal emitter valves ensure optimal performance even under harsh water conditions and their design includes a large deep and wide cross section which minimizes clogging resistance. A pipe with emitters was chosen, rather than a pipe with punched holes, to get consistently even distribution of liquid along each length of pipe.
We are using as few components as necessary from the pump to the pipe, to reduce any flow interruption or pressure reduction, so the correct volume is delivered into the soil.
We recommend the TERM-seal™ Termite-Pro Perimeter Retreatment System is installed into the trench while a conventional perimeter soil treatment is being done, so it is ready to be used for retreatment in the future. This provides the customer with an easy means of retreatment when it is required.
