Taking care of your Gengze travelling irrigator This is to help your plants stay happy and healthy. This applies to the portable irrigators too, here are some tips to maintain your travelling irrigator in tiptop condition.
Clean the Sprinkler Heads
Perhaps the most important thing you can do is to regularly clean the sprinkler heads. Dirt can accumulate on them and block water from flowing out evenly. To clean the heads, detach them from the irrigator and rinse with water. You could use a soft brush to remove really stubborn dirt. Look for any cracks or clogs and replace if necessary. This will allow your irrigator and water heads to work with better efficiency.
Check for Leaks
The second tip to do when searching are leaks and checking the water pressure. Leakers can squander water and damage the system. Examine the hoses, connections -- wherever there could be a leak, check for any pooling, dripping water. If you spot a leak, tighten the connections or replace the hose. Also, verify that the water pressure from the pump is correct. Also, low water pressure can indicate a pump or filter issue as well.
Clean the Pump and Filters
The pump and filters are crucial components of your travelling irrigator. They assist in the smooth flow of the water. Regular cleaning keeps them functioning well. The first step is to turn off the pump (and unplug it). Next, remove the pump from the irrigator and inspect for dirt. Clean it with a soft brush (or cloth). Clean or replace the filters if they are clogged Dust and dirt build-up on the filters will prevent your AC from functioning optimally. Maintaining these components ensures sufficient water for your plants.
Store the Irrigator Properly
Properly store your travelling irrigator once the growing season comes to an end. This prevents damage. First, drain the remaining water left in the system to prevent freezing in the winter. Clean it properly then to take out dirt. After it’s clean and dry, store it in a cool, dry spot, out of direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Storing it properly preserves it, so it’s in good shape for next time.
Maintain Moving Parts
Checking the moving parts to make your irrigator last longer is key too. Components such as wheels, gears and axles are subject to wear with application, so make sure to lubricate them frequently. Use quality grease to keep them going strong. With proper care for these pieces, you'll be able to keep your irrigator running smoothly for years.
