After the system has stabilized, routinely check for:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
• Differences in system pressure and flow from initial system readings.<\/li>\n
• Changes in lateral flush water quality.<\/li>\n
• Evidence of mechanical damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  \n
  • Test water early for clogging, toxicity, salinity and infiltration hazards.<\/li>\n
  • Always conduct a jar test before applying chemicals to ensure compatibility.<\/li>\n
  • Chemical travel time must be considered in scheduling to ensure all emitters receive the same amount of chemical.<\/li>\n
  • Chlorine and acid should always be injected from separate tanks and should never be mixed together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    <\/p>\n

    * Take appropriate precautions and check with local regulatory agencies for the safe use of chemicals in conjunction with any irrigation system or water source.<\/h6>\n

    Routine system maintenance is critical for optimal performance:<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    \n
    • Apply chemicals to prevent clogging.<\/li>\n
    • Flush the system as often as needed to keep lines clean.<\/li>\n
    • Routinely monitor for and control pests to avoid damage.<\/li>\n
    • Thoroughly inspect and service all filters at least once a year.<\/li>\n
    • Periodically inspect and service accessory equipment.<\/li>\n
    • Winterize the system in climates where water freezes.<\/li>\n
    • Perform recommended startup procedures after any period of inactivity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
