Aqua-Traxx®PC

Pressure Compensating Tape

An all-terrain, high
performance drip tape.

Aqua-Traxx PC is the industry’s only pressure
compensating drip tape. Aqua-Traxx PC increases
profitability by saving water, energy and
chemical costs and it allows for optimum results
on land that was once considered marginal. The
superior performance of Aqua-Traxx PC takes
drip tape to the next level.

Applications

• Ideal to irrigate crops in difficult
topographical conditions

• In areas of high wind where spray losses
and poor uniformity would be unavoidable
with sprinklers

• In areas with low or varying water pressure
and in installations requiring long laterals

Aqua-Traxx PC

Advantages

• Increased Emission Uniformity (EU).

• Saves water.

• Saves energy due to water savings and lower

system pressures.

• Lower application rates nearly eliminate runoff

problems.

• Saves fertilizer and other chemicals.

• Saves labor cost. Fertilizer and chemical

applications are done through the system and
there are no pipes to move.

• Easier access to the field for tractor operations.

• Avoids spray losses, evaporation and non-

uniformity caused by windy conditions.

• Reduces diseases caused by high humidity,

such as mildew.

• Systems are more economical due to smaller

pipe size requirements, which are made
possible by lower flow rates.

• Reduces herbicide and weeding labor.

Versatility

• Aqua-Traxx PC is available in spacing

from 6” to 24”.

• Wide pressure operating range: 4 – 25 psi.

• Significant elevation changes either down

slopes or over undulating terrain.

Tube Features

• Seamless construction; no more

splitting at the seam

• Blue stripes, signature of quality and a

useful installation aid. Blue stripes “up”
insures proper outlet placement

• Ultra-high strength and flexibility

Emitter Features

• Filter inlets - prevents debris

from entering the flow path

• Turbulent flow path

• Pressure compensating

• Multiple laser slit outlets –

Less susceptible to back siphoning
and root intrusion

• Precise performance
