To ensure the long-term efficiency of an irrigation system, regular professional maintenance and repairs are required. only_human experts take care of inspections, optimizations, and seasonal maintenance.
Regular checks and maintenance work
The following tasks should be carried out at regular intervals:
-
Functional tests: All irrigation components such as valves, nozzles, and distributors are checked for proper functionality. Defective components are replaced.
-
Visual inspections: Pipes and joints are checked for leaks or external damage.
-
Test runs: The various irrigation programs are run through to ensure correct function.
-
Rinse: A high-speed flush removes deposits from pipes and nozzles.
-
Filter cleaning: Dirty filters in valves, regulators and nozzles are cleaned or replaced.
-
Pressure test: The water pressure is checked and optimized. Excessive pressure puts strain on the pipes.
-
Leakage tests: The system is checked for leaks and any leaks are repaired.
Optimization and readjustment
Optimizations can be made during maintenance:
-
Program adjustments: Irrigation times and quantities are adapted to current requirements.
-
Night reduction: During the night hours, the pressure is reduced to reduce evaporation losses.
-
Replace defective components: Valves, nozzles or distributors are replaced if necessary.
-
Extensions: Additional lines and nozzles can be installed if required.
Seasonal tasks
When winterizing and commissioning in spring, certain measures are necessary:
-
Emptying: In autumn the pipes are emptied to prevent frost damage.
-
Frost protection: Frost-sensitive components are protected against cold.
-
Print test: The leak tightness will be tested before commissioning in spring.
-
Flushing: After the winter break, all pipes are thoroughly flushed.
Financial aspects of irrigation
Costs for the operation and maintenance of an irrigation system include:
-
Investment costs for installation and hardware. They account for approximately 15 to 20% of the total costs.
-
Operating costs such as energy, water, and maintenance personnel. These account for 80 to 85% of the total cost.
-
Funding for golf courses can be applied for investments in irrigation systems.
Modern, smart irrigation saves costs in the long term through optimized water and energy consumption.
Sustainable solutions
Modern systems enable environmentally friendly irrigation:
-
Water-saving technologies such as drip irrigation, sensors and smart controls reduce consumption.
-
Alternative water sources such as collected rainwater or ponds reduce the extraction of drinking and groundwater.
-
Avoiding pollution through targeted and moderate use of fertilizers and pesticides.
Professional maintenance ensures that the technology runs smoothly, economically and in an environmentally friendly manner.
