After the agricultural irrigation drip irrigation system equipment is put into agricultural production, it can bring us great convenience. Like other devices, agricultural irrigation equipment also requires maintenance and upkeep, as the agricultural environment is complex and ever-changing, and various natural factors are eroding irrigation equipment. So how to maintain various agricultural irrigation and drip irrigation equipment? Below, we will explain the maintenance content of agricultural irrigation system equipment for friends in need.

1. Water source system: focus on eliminating hidden dangers

The purpose of water source system inspection is to prevent accidental debris from entering the pipeline. Correspondingly, during use, the water source should be regularly inspected to eliminate hidden dangers. Huazu Irrigation stated that once a self built reservoir is built, it is necessary to regularly clean the sediment or other deposits in the reservoir. If the water source is a river or lake, it is necessary to check the debris at the inlet of the water pump to prevent it from affecting the power of the pump. After each irrigation cycle, empty all pipes of water and seal all valves at the water source.

2. Branch and main pipeline systems: Regular flushing

The pipeline system of agricultural irrigation drip irrigation equipment is inevitably prone to the circulation of sediment of various sizes, as well as some fertilizer and pesticide residues. Flushing is necessary. If the water quality of the source is poor and there are many small impurities, the capillary tube should be washed regularly. Once a week, the end drip drip head of the PE capillary tube should be removed to wash away the small particles at the end of the scale, and the drip head should be soaked in water for rinsing. During the flushing process, the pipes should be opened sequentially and not fully opened at the same time to maintain the pressure inside the pipes. Huazu Irrigation emphasizes that each irrigation unit needs to be flushed once a month, by opening the main pipe or the end plug of the main pipe of the irrigation unit and increasing the water pressure for flushing. After flushing, remember to empty the water flow and block the pipeline.

3. How to maintain irrigation system in winter: prioritize demolition

The equipment of various irrigation and drip irrigation systems is mainly made of various plastic materials. In the cold winter, especially in northern regions, if appropriate protective measures are not taken, there is a risk that the irrigation equipment will be damaged by the cold winter. This is also to ensure that the entire system can be used normally in the coming year. Huazhong Irrigation believes that the protection measures for winter irrigation drip irrigation equipment are mainly based on dismantling and recycling. Any removable parts should be dismantled as much as possible, cleaned, and the residual water in the pipeline should be drained before storage, and attention should be paid to preventing debris from entering. When dismantling various valves, pipelines, and connectors, pay attention to protecting the plastic components to prevent damage during the dismantling process. Damaged components can be replaced next year.

The parts that cannot be dismantled need to be cleaned before winter arrives for the entire irrigation and drip irrigation system equipment. Firstly, as before, flush the pipeline system by grouping several agricultural irrigation drip irrigation units together. Open the valves of the irrigation units, open the end plugs of the branch pipes, and flush away any accumulated debris. After flushing, pay attention to emptying the accumulated water in the pipeline to prevent low-temperature freezing and cracking.
