Frequently asked questions
What are the components of an automatic irrigation sprinkler system?
A typical automatic irrigation system consists of a controller, solenoid valves and sprinklers with necessary PE pipe & fittings. Additionally, rain sensors, soil moisture sensors etc can be also added to the system.
What are the key features of a drip irrigation system?
Drip irrigation tubes are made with equidistant small holes on its surface for gradual and effective wetting of base of plants compared to above ground spraying. It complements best when used for garden beds containing lots of plants and shrubs.
Is an automatic irrigation system more effective than a manual system?
An automatic irrigation system will perform a more effective job with better water saving. Since it is designed based on the topological conditions as well as based upon the plants raised in the plot.
Which drip irrigation system is a cost-effective method?
Drip tubes discharges at the rate of 0.001 – 0.002 m3/h whereas a regular sprinkler discharges at 0.09 - 0.13 m3/h. The slower application rate does affect and reduce water usage by 40% comparatively.
How do I check for working of drip irrigation lines?
Few minutes after turning on the water supply or valve, check whether the areas through which the drip lines run becomes damp or not. If the drip line is either installed underground or covered with organic matter, it becomes difficult to access the wet spots. In such a case, simply dig out a small portion of the soil manually and try to feel the wetness of soil.
How do I winter-proof drip irrigation lines?
Turn off the water supply and then blow air through the lines to rid of water particles for preventing freezing damages before temperature drops considerably. The drip lines should then be started again only during spring. Another way to clear out water is to use drain valves with suitable fittings towards the end of drip lines instead of capping it.
