Irrigation Matters: Keeping Your Farm's Plumbing in Top Shape

Why Irrigation Systems Fail

• Clogged lines from sediment or mineral buildup

• Leaky joints and valves wasting water and money

• Pump inefficiencies causing uneven water pressure

• Seasonal stress from freezing winters and heavy summer use

These issues can impact crop growth, increase costs, and put unnecessary strain on your equipment.

Tips to Protect Your Farm’s Irrigation

1. Schedule Seasonal Inspections
   Have a professional check pumps, valves, and lines before planting season.

2. Flush and Clean Lines
   Clear out sediment, algae, and debris that can reduce flow efficiency.

3. Invest in Filtration
   A well-designed filtration system protects pumps and extends the lifespan of your irrigation system.

4. Check Pressure Regularly
   Uneven pressure can lead to dry spots or overwatering. Monitoring keeps your fields balanced.

5. Winterize Properly
   Draining and protecting irrigation lines before freezing weather helps avoid costly repairs in spring.
