Drip Irrigation System Maintenance Solutions

SHARE
Drip irrigation is an efficient method for delivering uniform water to crops, which is essential for growing high-quality produce using less water. However, the system's efficacy can be compromised if biological growth or mineral deposits cause clogs. CH2O Inc. offers innovative solutions to improve water quality and prevent blockages in drip irrigation systems. Specially formulated products like SureFlow, which is EPA-registered for controlling biofilms and microorganisms, and Agri-Guard for targeting mineral deposits, help maintain free-flowing water. These solutions are designed to supplement filtration methods, effectively managing algae, bacteria, and other mineral build-ups. Their proper application can increase system efficiency, reduce manual labor, and maintain crop health by ensuring uniform water distribution and controlling pathogens. CH2O’s technologies have been validated by research from Wageningen University, showcasing their superior performance compared to traditional treatments.

The Importance of Maintaining Drip Irrigation Systems

Drip irrigation is a great way to dispense uniform amounts of water to crops in your field. This is a reliable and consistent way of growing excellent quality crops using less water.

However, suppose the system becomes clogged due to biological growth or mineral deposits at any point during the growing season. In that case, there is a risk of losing the entire crop. CH2O has developed a uniquely effective system for maintaining free-flowing water in irrigation systems.

The common causes for clogged lines and emitters are simple:

  • Biofilm or algae grows due to the presence of bacteria or other organic materials in the water.
  • Mineral scale builds up within the tubes because of hard water. Insoluble salt build-up forms in filters, lines, and emitters.

  • Sand or sediment settles in the system due to insufficient filtration.

Such issues arise as a result of inadequate drip irrigation maintenance. This is especially true if you are using the system to supply nutrients to the plants.

To protect your harvest and secure profitable results, maintenance is vital. With a bit of attention to the right areas and the proper tools, it doesn’t have to be difficult, either.

Filtration can keep the largest particles of inorganic or organic matter out of your system but is only one part of the solution to your water quality issues. CH2O products do a great job of supplementing filtration to improve control of algae, bacteria, iron, and other deposit-forming minerals to help maintain free-flowing water. Our technologies outperform traditional treatment methods as detailed in the research study from Wageningen University.

The key benefits of our solutions may include the following:

Increased efficiency: By controlling clogging around emitters, water and nutrient feeds are effectively dispensed to all of your crops uniformly.

Cost-effectiveness: Proper application of CH2O products has helped avoid costly manual labor, reduce the use of strong acids and hyperchlorination that can harm equipment.

Improved crop health: Maintaining uniform water distribution and controlling water-borne pathogens helps plants thrive.
