Drip Irrigation Installs, Repair and Troubleshooting
Expertise
Drip system repair and troubleshooting is similar to sprinkler systems in that having the expertise and knowledge is key. Kredit Sprinkler & Arizona Lighting’s comprehensive understanding of hydraulics allows us to diagnose and fix drip irrigation systems efficiently. Since drip irrigation systems use water in gallons per hour and typically run around 30 psi (pounds per square inch), there are variables to consider that a handyman may be unaware of.
When it comes to drip systems and water flow, we consider the optimal number of dripper on each zone and the output of each, as well as the type of dripper and if elevation levels will affect those calculations. Because drip systems in Phoenix, AZ are crucial in the summer time, we know that it’s important to get it right the first time and ensure your system is hydraulically balanced. That way, all plants or shrubs get the appropriate amount of water.
Efficiency
Our expertise means that on a drip irrigation installation, repair, or troubleshooting job, we’re able to complete the job more efficiently and be on the property for less time.
Preparedness
Another contributor to efficiency involves preparedness - due to the fact that we focus on irrigation rather than general landscaping, we often have the parts we need on hand. Being a licensed, bonded and insured contractor with the AZ ROC and running a family owned/operated business for 40+ years, we strive to be well supplied on all our service trucks.
Verification
Finally, a good contractor always tests the repair and other stations or zones in the same area. Our team is professional, completes high-quality work, and then verifies the work done with thorough testing.
Benefits of Drip Irrigation Installs, Repair and Troubleshooting
Repairing and troubleshooting an irrigation drip system provides several key benefits:
1. Water Efficiency: Drip irrigation systems are designed to minimize water waste by delivering water directly to the root zones of plants. Proper repairs and troubleshooting ensure the system operates at peak efficiency, reducing water usage and lowering water bills.
2. Improved Plant Health: A well-maintained drip system ensures that plants receive consistent and adequate watering. Malfunctions like clogged emitters or leaks can disrupt water delivery, leading to overwatering, underwatering, or plant stress.
3. Cost Savings: Timely repairs can prevent more costly issues down the line, such as widespread damage to the system or a significant loss of water due to leaks or inefficiency. Addressing minor issues early can help avoid the need for extensive repairs or replacements.
4. Longevity of the System: Regular troubleshooting and maintenance help extend the life of the irrigation system by ensuring components like tubing, filters, and emitters remain in good working condition. This can prevent premature system failure.
5. Environmental Benefits: Efficient water use not only saves money but also conserves water, which is a critical resource. By addressing any issues promptly, you help reduce the environmental impact of overwatering and resource depletion.
6. Time and Labor Savings: A system that’s working properly reduces the need for manual watering, saving time and labor. It also reduces the frequency of system-related problems that can disrupt your routine.
7. Prevention of Future Problems: Troubleshooting helps identify potential issues before they escalate. Regular inspections can uncover problems like clogged filters, faulty emitters, or damage to lines, allowing for early intervention and preventing more significant breakdowns later.
By ensuring that your drip irrigation system is repaired and functioning correctly, you optimize both performance and efficiency, leading to healthier plants and reduced overall costs.
