A. FILTRATION
A.1 What is the difference between automatic and manual filtration?
- Manual filtration:
In the manual heads the cleaning of the filters is done without the intervention of any machine, therefore its cost is less high. - Automatic filtration:
Through automatic filters cleaning is programmed leaving the head free of sediment, using the least amount of water possible.
This type of filtration allows greater autonomy at the time of carrying out its use in addition to extending the life of the irrigation system.
A.2 Ring, mesh or sand filters?
To determine the type of filtering, it will depend on the type of water, its origin and quality.
- The ring filters are suitable for waters that have a high content of solid matter
- Mesh filters are used in waters from reservoirs and wells
- Sand filters are used in waters with a high content of organic matter
B. MICROIRRIGATION PIPING
B.1 Differences between self-compensating and turbulent drippers. What happens if I have uneven topography?
Self-compensating drippers (PC) are designed for inclined and varied topographies or for long fields. Whatever the pressure, they maintain a constant flow, allowing you to build an effective precision irrigation system no matter how complicated your landscape or how long the rows of crops are. Non-PC droppers are ideal for flat topographies or shorter crop rows.
B.2 Why is the thickness of the wall of the pipe important?
The thicker the micro irrigation pipe, the more durable it will be to external damage or system pressure. It will offer greater resistance to physical damage and will allow operating the system with a wider range of pressures.
The thinner drippers are more suitable for elimination every few years or even in each crop cycle.
They are also less expensive, so replacing them is not a big cost.
The average wall drippers are somewhere in between, offering a balance between cost and duration.
