How To Prevent Clogging Of Pipes And Drippers in A Drip Irrigation System?

① The liquid enters the water pipeline after filtration or precipitation and filtration, which is the most commonly used method. It is necessary to check and clean the precipitation and filtration equipment frequently to keep them in good technical condition.

② Properly increase the water delivery capacity to reduce system blockage.

③ Place the water outlet of the dripper upwards, and clean the capillary regularly to reduce clogging.

④ Chemical treatment of drip irrigation water, irrigating the drip irrigation system with 0.001% chlorine solution (that is, household bleaching powder diluted solution) for 20 minutes every day, it can significantly reduce the sticky deposits on the pipe wall and prevent clogging.

⑤ Measure the water quality and avoid drip irrigation with water containing iron, hydrogen sulfide and tannin, which is easy to cause blockage.

⑥ Phosphate fertilizer cannot be applied through drip irrigation system. Phosphorus reacts with calcium in irrigation water to form a precipitated material that can clog the dripper. Other fertilizers must be completely soluble in water for drip fertilization.
