Potami Professional Black Poly Tubing – The Ultimate Irrigation Hose for Demanding Applications
Engineered for commercial growers and serious gardeners, Potami Black Poly Tubing redefines reliability in water and gas distribution systems. This military-spec tubing outperforms standard vinyl hoses with unmatched durability, precision flow control, and system versatility – making it the preferred choice for greenhouse operations, hydroponic farms, and precision agriculture.
Why Potami Outperforms Competitors
✔ Leak-Proof Connection Technology – Self-sealing barb grip (3mm-8mm IDs) eliminates need for clamps at fittings
✔ Extreme Environment Ready – Maintains flexibility from -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to 140°F) without cracking
✔ UV & Chemical Resistant – Carbon-black infused walls withstand 5+ years of direct sun and nutrient exposure
✔ High-Pressure Capacity – Rated for 6 bar (87 PSI) – double the burst strength of generic tubing
✔ Multi-Application Design – Certified for:
-
Precision drip irrigation (±2% flow variance)
-
CO2/N2 gas distribution (gas-tight permeability)
-
Hydroponic nutrient delivery (algae-resistant interior)
-
Overhead misting systems (consistent droplet pattern)

Professional Installation Guide
For Drip Systems:
→ Use 4mm ID with pressure-compensating emitters for uniform distribution
→ Maintain 0.8-1.5 bar (12-22 PSI) for optimal performance
For CO2 Applications:
→ Install check valves every 15m to prevent backflow
→ Purge lines with N2 gas before initial use
Buried Installations:
→ Lay on 10cm sand bed + cover with warning tape
→ Avoid sharp bends (<90°) to prevent flow restriction
