Is your irrigation field due for replacement?
If your irrigation field was installed more than 7 years ago, it may be time to replace it. The average lifespan of an irrigation field is 7–8 years, and once it begins to fail, it can lead to costly issues – especially with your pump.
A failing field puts unnecessary pressure on the pump, increasing the risk of burnout and expensive repairs.
Signs you might be due an irrigation field replacement
- Your pump-out rate is extremely slow
- Your alarm keeps sounding
- You see pooling on the field and the ground is no longer absorbing water
- When you’re running your dishwasher, shower, washing machine etc the red light shows or alarm sounds
- There’s lots of plants around it that could be causing root intrusion
- If you’ve had livestock in the irrigation field is located, there is a high chance of damage from hooves, meaning replacement may be required sooner.
