depends on the quality of superflow filter layers.

Pipes for direct connection- This is the main

pipe for the drip irrigation system. This pipeline is 4

to 5 inches in diameter and allows water to flow

straights. These pipelines take the bend at the

edges of the farming land with the help of elbows.

Control valve in a direct pipeline- It is obvious

that sometimes, heavy machines irrigation can

break the main pipeline by crossing it. You need a

control valve to stop the water supply to do not to

let the water go waste. Just cut the main pipeline

and add two vertical pipes with both ends. Joint the

valve in the middle of these vertical pipes to

connect them with each other.

Water supply poly tubes- Cut the poly tubes of

4mm according to the circumference of the plants.

Make multiple holes according to your need in the

poly tubes to add the drippers.
PVC tee- Add PVC tee at one end of each poly

tube.

How to install a drip irrigation system

Following are the steps to install a drip irrigation

system on your farm-

First of all, install the pressure control valve in the

main underground water supply.

Connect the underground water supply with the

storage tank. Add another control valve with a

superflow filter.

Dig in straight lines in the parameter of the farming

land(at the boundaries, in each row).

Now install the main 4 to 5 inches pipeline in this.

You can use Teflon tape or PVC glue to attach

them.

Install multiple control valves in the main pipeline.

Now, cut the poly tubes according to the

circumference of the plants or trees. Make holes

and fix drippers in each cutting. Add PVC tee at

one end of the poly tube.

Make holes in the main pipeline(Two holes at one

point with some distance). These two holes will

provide water at both opposite ends. Make holes

as much as plants you have.

Add PVC pipes of 1 inch in each hole.

Connect all the poly tubes with a common pipeline.

you need to cut the pipeline and add both ends to

the PVC tee of the poly tube.

Now, add this pipeline to the main pipeline with the
help of an already added pipe.

Your drip irrigation system is installed now.

Maintenance work in drip irrigation system

You need maintenance in the drip irrigation system

once in a couple of months. Following are the reasons
why you need maintenance in the drip irrigation

system-

You need to change the superflow filter in a few

months.
When accidentally you break the main supply then

you need to temporarily bypass the whole supply.

In this period you can fix the damage.

Connect the drippers some distance from the PVC

tee. In case, when tee gets broken or damaged, so
you can cut it at a distance that does not affect the

drippers.
