WATER REUSE DISPERSAL SYSTEM
EFLOW DRIPPERLINE DIVERSION PACKAGE THAT ALLOWS THE REUSE OF
DOMESTIC HOUSEHOLD WATER TO IRRIGATE GARDEN AND TURF AREA
HOW THE EFLOW SYSTEM WORKS
Netam’s EFlow dripperline system delivers a slow and precise application of treated efuent evenly throughout the soil. Made of
exible polyethylene tubing, the dripperline has evenly spaced pre-inserted emitters. When water is pumped through the dripperline,
these pressure compensating emitters discharge an even, slow distribution of treated efuent into the ground.
THE EFLOW ADVANTAGE
• The highest water efciency compared to other systems
• Allows reuse of water for supplementary turf and garden irrigation
• Reduces offensive odours, aerosol drifting and buffer zones
• Guaranteed uniform distribution over entire application area
• Low application rate improves water inltration for all soil types
• Drippers are specically designed to operate without clogging
• Minimal maintenance and service requirements
• Automated system reduces human interaction
EFlow kits feature Netam UniBioline dripperline with innovated features such as Anti Drainage* (CNL) holding water within
the dripperline during system shut-down (available only in EFlow CNL XR & EFlow Kits). All EFlow kits are
Pressure Compensating (PC) dripperlines, giving you direct water distribution and reduced wasted run-off on slopes.
Unibioline has a clever System Protection Unit with a life time guarantee against root intrusion for turf applications. Plus Unibioline
dripperline has the largest ltration surface area than any other system on the market, greater ltration equals uninterrupted ow
and greener results.

SURFACE INSTALLATION SUB-SURFACE DRIPPERLINE
INSTALLATION TECHNIQUES
Surface Installations apply the same principles as sub-surface
Installations except they are not buried. Surface Installations are
installed in garden beds on top of the soil and below the mulch layer.
It is recommended that stakes are used during backlling to
stabilise the dripperline header assembly and Flush Manifold.
There are a number of techniques you can use when installing
the dripperline below the surface.
Which ever form of installation you choose, we recommend you
install Air Valves, Manual Flush Valves and Filters to ensure the
longevity of the system.

SUB SURFACE - TRENCHING
SUB-SURFACE DRIPPERLINE
INSTALLATION TECHNIQUES (CONTINUED)
TRENCHING
This is the most common technique. This involves digging a
trench no wider than 50mm to the depth required. It is important
when backlling not to damage the pipe with sharp rocks and
objects. The narrower the trench the better. This ensures water
will move laterally rather than down the trench.
RIPPING
Using a ripping attachment is the fastest and most successful
way of installing a dripperline. If the soil is dry and hard, then wet
the area before ripping. Be careful not to stretch or damage the
outside wall of the dripperline during installation.
VIBRATORY PLOUGH
The vibratory plough is more suitable for larger sites with longer
run lengths. It works well with difcult compact soil types, however
wetting the soil before installation may still be required.These
machines are capable of ripping more than one line at a time.
ON SURFACE BACKFILLING
This method is particularly useful in new sites where topsoil will
be added afterwards. The whole system is laid out on top of the
sub-grade, then backlling of soil over the top of the dripperlines
takes place. It is very important not to damage the dripperline
with any heavy machinery during backlling.

FILTER ASSEMBLY
The 25mm Arkal Disc Filter is used to protect the system from
contamination of debris. It has a 130 micron ltration element
inside that requires cleaning periodically (see maintenance and
servicing). The Techlter is also required to provide the system
with trace elements of Triuralin. This chemical prevents roots
from blocking drippers. A Techlter is not required for
EFlow CNL XR and EFlow AS XR kits.
1. Assuming the outlet of the treatment plant is a 25mm male
thread, use a 25mm ratchet clamp to connect the 25mm
LDPE to the treatment plant with the 25mm Nut & Tail tting.
2. Using the ratchet clamp again, connect the 25mm Arkal Disc
Filter (black) to the 25mm LDPE with 25mm Nut & Tail ttings.
3. Now use the ratchet clamp to connect the 25mm Techlter
(black) to 25mm LDPE using 25mm Nut & Tail ttings.
IMPORTANT:
The arrow on the lter indicates the direction of ow
Filters should be installed facing down as shown in illustration
The Arkal Disc Filter is to be installed upstream of Techlter
If installing multiple zones, tees are to be installed after the
ltration system (Tees are provided in the ‘Add-on’ kit only).
The lter system is to be contained within the rectangular
valve box provided.
ZONE ASSEMBLY
1. Using the 25mm LDPE from the Filter Assembly, you need
to create a header assembly that runs perpendicular to the
dripperline. This will be buried below the surface in
Sub surface Dripperline Installations between
100mm and 200mm.
2. Attach the 25mm End Connectors to the end of the header
assembly using a 25mm ratchet clamp.
3. Using the punch tool, insert holes into the 25mm LPDE at lateral
spacings. With the ratchet clamp, attach the dripperline into
the Start Connectors and insert the tting into the hole on the
25mm LDPE. Ensure the tting and initial section of dripperline
remains perpendicular to the 25mm LDPE.
4. Using 25mm LDPE, install the Flush Manifold opposite the
header assembly.
5. Repeat the installation of Start Connectors between the
dripperline and LDPE for the Flush Manifold.
6. Insert the 25mm End Connectors at the highest end of the
Flush Manifold using a 25mm ratchet clamp.
FLUSH VALVE
The Flush Valve is used to clear any debris out of the system
during routine maintenance. The Flush Valve is located at the
lowest end of the Flush Manifold.
1. Screw the 25mm threaded elbow into the male Manual Flush
Valve. Be sure to apply thread tape (thread tape not provided).
2. Connect the threaded elbow to the 25mm LDPE Flush
Manifold using a 25mm ratchet clamp.
3. Install the Manual Flush Valve at 90° to the surface, ensuring
the lilac cap is level with the nish grade of the soil.

AIR VACUUM VALVE
This component is designed to release air from inside the
dripperline during system start-up and shut-down. This reduces
the potential risk of soil being sucked into the drippers and
causing clogging.
1. Locate the highest point of the
system along either the header assembly or Flush Manifold.
2. Using a 25mm ratchet clamp, insert the 25mm female tee
into the 25mm LDPE.
3. Insert the 15mm Air Release Valve
into the female tee. Do this by applying thread tape and
ensure the valve is positioned vertically.
4. Install the 150mm round valve box around the air valve, then
use the ‘punch outs’ to insert the 25mm LDPE. Completing
Installation
COMPLETING INSTALLATION
Your EFlow system is now almost complete and ready for
operation. To begin using the system, run the following checks:
1. The cartridges in both the Disc lter and Techlter are installed.
2. When turning on the system for the rst time check for leaks
being careful not to allow any debris into the dripperline
3. Flush the system by opening the ush valve cap then inserting
and turning the ush valve key.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING
Regular maintenance and servicing should be carried out
periodically. The following parts require on-going servicing to
ensure the longevity of your EFlow system.
DISC FILTER
Remove the disc element from the housing and rinse in water to
clean any debris on and in between the discs on a regular basis.
TECHFILTER
Remove the disc element from the housing and rinse in water
to clean all debris on and in between the discs. Important -
Replace the cartridge every 2 years. This will ensure continuous
prevention against root intrusion.
Using the safety instructions provided with the cartridge,
make sure all procedures are adhered to during handling.
AIR VALVE
While the system is in operation, check the Air Valve by pushing
it downwards to ush out any potential debris. Ensure the Air
Release Valve Box is clean and not buried in soil.
MANUAL FLUSH VALVE
During system operation attach the male QCV (Quick Coupling
Valve) to the female connection in the ground. This requires
lifting the lilac cap, pushing the male connection and turning it to
secure. Use a short piece of clear hose (not provided) at the end
of the male connection to monitor the quality of water within the
system as it is ushed. Make sure the system is ushed for a
minimum of 30 seconds or longer if possible.
DRIPPERLINE
Regularly check the dripperline for leaking and ponding around
the site. If any leaks are found, use a 16mm ratchet clamp
to attached dripperline joiners. This will prevent debris or soil
contamination occurring.
