How to take care of irrigation systems? Irrigation systems are essential for professional plant cultivation. In order for them to last for many years, they must be well designed and equipped with the right filters and de-gelatinisation solutions.

Irrigation systems are growing in popularity, but in order for them to work properly, care must be taken to eliminate any contaminants that may cause faults.

The filter matters

Experience shows that it is very problematic to choose the right filter for irrigation systems. Many users even wonder about the point of installing it. The filter is very important and fulfils a very important role – it prevents contamination of the system and therefore prevents failures that can damage the components of the system. Damage caused by contamination can incur even greater costs, so not investing in a filter is only an apparent saving. The filter should be adapted to the source or type of water.

Mesh or disc filters are most commonly used to remove water-insoluble contaminants. Some irrigation systems require sand filters to remove very fine mineral and biological sediments from the water. Gravel filters, on the other hand, are recommended for the filtration of water from rivers, lakes, pools and water supplies.

Looking after an irrigation system, although it may seem time-consuming and expensive, saves a lot of money in the long term.
