Mega 3 - 250 microns
A combination recognized for its effectiveness in agricultural drainage for over 10 years!
Agricultural subsurface drainage
Connecting you to the future of agricultural water management
Planning an agricultural development project is of paramount importance in a comprehensive plan for storm water and groundwater management, erosion control and yield improvement. As cultivators are faced with increasingly important performance challenges, we have made a commitment to assist cultivators and agricultural drainage professionals in optimizing their practices in order to achieve the best yields.
Times change, and so does agriculture.
Precision agriculture is defined as a principle of agricultural field management that aims at optimizing yields and investments. Under this vision, Soleno continues to develop the most complete and distinctive range of products on the market, in order to offer farmers and drainers the optimal solution for each situation.
The Mega 3 – 250 micron combination combines drainage efficiency with filtration and permittivity performance to optimize field drainage and thus agricultural yields

The Mega 3 drain
Enables more efficient and faster agricultural drainage!
- 33% more perforation area than Type 3 drain: the size and number of perforations of the Mega 3 drain allow groundwater to be captured and evacuated as quickly as possible.
- Increased protection during torrential rains: allows greater protection against damage caused by excess water.
- Designed to guarantee maximum rigidity in the drain, while offering the largest perforation area than the Type 3 drain.
- In the presence of iron ochre, the shape and size of the Mega 3 sluice reduce the possibility of clogging and obstructing the perforations and facilitate cleaning when necessary.
The 250-microns filter sheath
THE filter for the pros
More efficient for filtration and permittivity. The filter sheath plays a crucial role in preventing fine particles from entering the perforated drainage pipe and causing drain obstruction problems.
- Better water flow rate than other products such as 100-microns filter sheath. The latter prevents silting in soil from very fine silt to very fine sand.
- Superior rupture resistance, which reduces the risk of tearing and ensures that the product retains its properties.
- Cleaning drains is much easier than with a 450-microns polyester sheath which is often more difficult to clean due to silting.
Our Recommendation
Depending on the type of soil to be drained or the backfill material used, Soleno will recommend (or not recommend) the use of filtering sheaths:
- None: in the presence of a clay soil or a sandy clay soil or when clean stone is used as backfill around the drain.
- 100 microns: in the case of soil containing sandy or silty soil or when a draining sand is used as backfill around the drain.
- 250 microns: in the case of soil rich in fine and medium sand.
- 450 microns: in the case of a soil containing coarse sand to gravel.
