Installation Maintenance & Troubleshooting Guide Regularly Water quality is a factor in maintaining micro-irrigation systems. A water quality test will measure silt or sand; algae; bacteria; dissolved solids such as iron, sulphur, salts, and calcium; and the ph of the water. For more information on micro-irrigation system maintenance, contact your extension agent or micro-irrigation manufacturer. Irrigation system evaluation by trained professional is highly recommended Check for leaks, rodent damage, and mechanical damage Inspect pressure-regulating valves and pressure gauges for correct operation and pressure readings. Liquid-filled pressure gauges are recommended. Flush lateral lines. Depending on water quality and filtration system, flushing should be done bi-weekly are after fertilizer or chemical injection or chlorination. Regularly check for and clean or replace clogged emitters Check emitters for correct flow. Take precise measurements at least twice each year by catching the flow from several emitters in a calibrated cylinder (such as rain gauge) during carefully timed intervals. Backwash filters either manually or using automatic cycle, depending on system design and type of filter Replace cartridge filters If media (such as sand) cakes, replace media. For sand filters, periodically supplement with additional media. Chlorinate system with 10 ppm if water has high organic load If clogging due to organic matter continues to be problem, inject 50-100 ppm of chlorine and allow to sit for hours If clogging due to precipitates (such as calcium carbonate) persists, inject system with acid to lower ph to about 5.0, allow to sit for hours. Contact equipment manufacturer before undertaking this task to determine the minimum ph allowable for system type. Maintenance Tasks Annually treat system with acid to neutralize calcium carbonates if the water is hard. Consult equipment manufacturer for type of acid and treatment interval. At Season Shutdown Treat entire system with 40 ppm residual chlorine concentration for at least four hours, and completely flush the system. Drain water from all pipelines. The system may have to be blown out lateral by lateral with an air compressor to accomplish this. Don t exceed 15 to 20 psi of air pressure, or you ll blow off the emitters. Polyethylene pipes can withstand some freezing without breaking, so it isn t critical that all water be removed. In cases where remaining water may be a problem, however, add a gallon of nontoxic antifreeze (type used in RV s) to the piping system and distribute it throughout with compressed air. More antifreeze may be necessary for larger systems. * Referenced from the Washington Irrigators Pocket Guide * jainsusa 2851 E. Florence Ave. Fresno, CA 93721 Ph 9-5-7171 Fx 9-5-7623 P.O.
