Drip Irrigation Repair For Leakages

By Martha Hill


When we talk about proper lawn care, more than anything else, it has to do with watering your lawn. Don't get me wrong, eliminating weeds, getting patches seeded and making sure to take care of your lawn are very important too, but having a nice green lawn means you need to have a good sprinkler or Drip irrigation repair system. Watering your lawn is probably the most important element of having healthy grass. Without the right amount of regular watering your grass will slowly start to fade and die.

It works by using a flexible poly line to deliver water through an emitter that waters in gallons per hour (GPH). They can range from half GPH to 4 GPH. The emitters are connected to the poly line by a thin "spaghetti line." Drip watering differs from other watering systems by watering plants and trees with deeper and less frequent watering than sprinkler or bubbler systems.

It's an efficient watering system but has its drawbacks too. The main one is that over time it gets damaged by the heat, sun, and cold weather. It is also easy for small animals such as rabbits and ground squirrels to chew through. And, this time of year, the animals are thirsty and trying to get water any way they can. An easy way is for them to dig up a poly line and chew through it. This creates a leak.

Most pre-made watering solutions aren't typically perfectly suitable for most people's needs though. No matter how intricately a system might be designed, it will usually not fit your growing operation 100% perfectly. This is why you should contact a company that can design a customized solution for you, and provides you with watering that will not only match your current needs perfectly, but will also be scalable enough to allow you to expand your operations later on without too much effort.

If you have a trickle watering system, check your water bill each month to make sure that there is not a "spike" in your water usage. A larger than usual bill can indicate a leak. If you have a trickle watering leak, how do you fix it? It can be restored with a piece of new poly line and two couplers. It's easy to do. Just cut the existing poly line with a pair of hand pruners at the leak and cut a new piece of poly line to replace.

An watering company can help you with all of your watering and new watering installation. Whether you have a commercial or residential watering need, you can give them a call. They can also help you when it comes to water conservation and water management.

Your landscaping needs the right kind of irrigation without any form of leakage and at the right time of the day. This will assist you save a lot of water annually. Being economical on the usage of water will cut down your costs and keep your landscape looking super.

So, between the improved trickle watering materials and the ease of restoration, trickle watering can be a good choice for watering plants and shrubs. Keep your eyes open and check your trickle watering regularly to keep it in good restoration. Happy watering!
