Welcome
The most common problems
Filters: if they are too small, they clog very quickly. Emitter clogging: can shorten the lifetime of a drip
system considerably.
Leakage: is requent if fittings are not done properly, especially at connections. Fragile drip line material: Avoid damage while
handling or during seeding. Plugs, pipes and hoses
may also break due to brittleness of the plastic.
Animal damage: insects, rodents or other animals
may damage the pipes in the field and during
storage. Thin-wall hoses and thin polyethylene pipes
are most susceptible.
Pest attraction: Pests may find a refugee in the drip
field, especially during dry spells or in the dry season,
when everything else is dry.
Kits, spare parts and reliable extension services: They may be lacking.
Theft may be a problem if the system is installed far from the house.
