Up to 70% of water used for agriculture is surface water from reservoirs, lakes, canals, and ponds, containing considerable amounts of algae and other organic contaminants that significantly increase the risk of clogging.

An effective filtration system gives growers an added edge to help them improve growing conditions, reduce the risk of clogging, and increase crop yield with full peace of mind in the water supply.

“At Netafim, we are committed to working with cutting-edge partners to develop solutions to combat the far-reaching effects of global water scarcity and improve water quality for growers,” says Gabriel (Gaby) Miodownik, CEO of Netafim. “AlphaDisc helps growers adapt to changing conditions and stay productive through the efficient use of available surface water. AlphaDisc ensures a sustainable and reliable clean water supply, protecting the future of agriculture.”

AlphaDisc was researched and developed in partnership with Amiad, a leading global producer of water treatment and filtration solutions. AlphaDisc provides irrigation system protection with its combination of precise depth filtration, substantial capacity to contain dirt and a unique easy-to-scale modular design that helps manage changing flow rates and water quality needs.

“AlphaDisc represents a new generation of high-tech filtration systems that protect irrigation systems while offering performance data measurement so growers can precisely monitor and control their valuable resources,” says Dror Negbi, Global Filtration Product Manager at Netafim. “Through our partnership with Amiad, we have developed an innovative product that delivers high-quality water and enables growers to maximize an increasingly limited resource.”
