Anti-Syphon Valve is to prevent a siphoning effect after the irrigation drip system is switched off.
An anti-syphon valve is designed to allow water to only flow in one direction and bleed air from the irrigation supply tube, thus stopping water from the irrigation system from being siphoned back into the water supply line.
Ideal for high-pressure systems, it is a highly effective measure at preventing water used to grow plants from making its way back into your household pipes.
