Netafi m Techline HCVXR landscape dripline Netafi m USA expanded its Techline landscape dripline product offering with the unveiling of Techline HCVXR, featuring advanced built-in root intrusion protection technology. The latest addition to the best-selling line of landscape dripline, Netafi m's Techline HCVXR is the only landscape dripline that infuses Cupron copper oxide directly into the mold of each emitter to provide a chemical-free, long-lasting, non-toxic root barrier for subsurface drip irrigation systems. By embedding copper oxide into the material used to create each emitter during the manufacturing process, the dripline's root-resistant properties will not wash off or migrate out of the emitter after years of use. The only dripline with a 15-year warranty against root intrusion, the HCVXR emitters are engineered with a physical root barrier, extra large bath area, continuous self-fl ushing mechanisms and raised outlets to prevent fi ne feeder roots or sediment from inhibiting water fl ow in the dripline. Rain Bird IQ v3.0 Central Control Rain Bird Corporation's IQ Platform can now be used with smartphones and tablets to meet demand for mobile-compatible water management tools. Irrigation professionals who manage systems for homeowners' associations, school districts or municipal properties can now manage those same systems on copper oxide into the material used to create each emitter during the manufacturing process, the dripline's root-resistant properties will not warranty against root
