Above Ground Irrigation System
Certa-Set® is an above-ground, aluminum replacement solid-set irrigation system, made from proprietary impact resistant Yelomine compound modifiers and UV (ultraviolet) inhibitors. The piping is a UV coated PVC that is a 100% leak free during charge up and charge down periods. The Certa-Set system is capable of being 100% mechanized and has been shown to reduce labor costs, increase irrigation efficiency, and increase yields and profits over conventional irrigation methods.

How Does It Work
The product’s pipe and couplings have precision engineered grooves that, when aligned, allow a spline to be inserted. This results in a continuous restraint with evenly distributed loading that locks the pipe and coupling together.
Flexible elastomeric O-rings in the coupling provide a hydraulic pressure seal. Joints can be easily disassembled when system reconfiguration is needed.
The product contains impact modifiers for higher impact strength over extended periods, and ultraviolet inhibitors that allow for superior flow rates and greater pumping efficiencies compared to other non-metal pipe options.
