Q - Will I
sacrifice weed control (even grassy weeds) using the Air Bubble
Jets trying to control drift?
A. No. Because of the uniform droplet sizing (200-550 micron)
you have more product going towards the target in droplet sizes
capable of staying on the plant.
Q - Will the Air
Bubble Jet work with all chemicals and crops?
A. Yes! Having spent 5 years in testing before introduced to the
market (12 years ago) , it was tested on chemicals and crops
with great success, the farmer and his/her crops, chemical &
money were not used to see if it worked properly.
Q - Do the Air
Bubble Jets require high pressures to operate (for satisfactory
coverage) even though they are considered a low pressure nozzle?
A. No. They are designed to operate at peak efficiency between
30-45 psi (total range of 20-90 psi)
Q - What changes do I need to make to my sprayer to
accommodate the Air Bubble Jets?
A. If you currently use Tee Jet nozzle bodies & caps, then the
Air Bubble Jets will conveniently fit into your existing
hardware (Tee Jet Quick cap# QJ25611)?
Q - If I currently use Combo Jet nozzles can I convert to Air
Bubble Jet?
A. Use Combo Jet Cap # 40269 (approx. cost $1.00cdn with
gasket).
Q - Do the air
holes plug and if they do what happens?
A. Tests have proven that because of the small volume of air
required should they plug (which is extremely rare) the only
change will be that there are not pockets of air in the droplet
(i.e. extremely little reduction of coverage ,flow rate stays
the same, droplet size within 5% and fan angle the same).
Q - Are wind
screens, curtains or cones compatible?
A. Yes. As these products are designed to contain driftable
particles the Air Bubble Jets prevent them resulting in much
less chemical dripping off of the screen.
Q - Are they effective on pull type as well as high clearance
sprayers?
A. Yes. You will enjoy the benefits of the Air Bubble Jets on
either type of sprayer! (TRY THIS: When installing the Air
Bubble Jets, outfit half of the boom then spray water to compare
against your present nozzles).
Q - Being made
of all plastic construction, how long do they last in comparison
to stainless steel?
A. The type of plastic (chemital) has proven to wear similarly
as stainless steel. In western Canada over the past seven years
most custom applicators indicate that they are getting on
average 40-50,000 acres on a set compared to other plastic
nozzles (10-15000 acres) including standard low drift as well as
air induction types.
