If your sprinklers, nozzles or pressure regulators are older, they may not be providing all that your crops need.

Save Energy & Money

If your sprinklers are older, it’s time to consider converting to a sprinkler package designed for low pressure. With rising energy costs, the savings of a low pressure pump can pay for that investment in a very short period of time. You may also be able to take advantage of cost sharing programs for your new low pressure system. Senninger Low Pressure-High Performance TM products are designed to operate at pressures as low as 10 psi where energy consumption is extremely low. Be sure to use pressure regulators to help maintain the designed flow for each applicator and help assure optimum performance and uniform distribution. Regulators are especially important if you have rolling terrain, if you use an end gun, or if your pump cycles on and off.

Save Water

A new sprinkler package can perform better than your older package simply based on the new technology available today. Many applicators provide better uniformity which allows you to do more with less. When you are looking at a new sprinkler package, be sure to adjust the flow to meet your soil and crop needs. Sprinklers with larger footprints allow the soil more time for soil to take in the water, preventing runoff. Utilizing goosenecks, booms and drops helps lower application intensity to preserve the integrity of your soil.

Improve Your Yield

Sprinklers that function improperly or nozzles that are worn distort the distribution pattern. This produces over- or under-watering. Over-watering can seal the soil surface causing run-off which carries away part of your soil. Over-watering that does penetrate the surface may leach nutrients below the root zone making them unavailable to your crop. Under-watering creates deficiencies and stress that reduce crop quality.

If pressure regulators are not functioning properly, they no longer provide consistent pressure. Your applicators are designed to operate at certain pressures for optimum performance and uniform distribution. Fluctuations in pressure impact flow, droplet size and distribution pattern. The system that was once designed to improve your yield is now causing crop damage.

With the new technology available, a new customized package provides greater benefits than ever before – benefits to your bottom line. Contact your local irrigation dealer. He can help you design a system that meets your specific crop and field needs.
