let's talk micro bore irrigation system

Posted by Adam Woods on June 24, 2018 at 9:05am in Groundscare

Does anyone have experience of these systems?

A garden I maintain has them in a celler area for a patio garden, and window boxes. All installed by a specialist before me.

It's fed by mains water. I think the little inline drop feed units are scaling up, we are in a hard water area. They have white crusty deposits, and aren't working

Any recommendations for descaling them?

I've already suggested feeding the system from a water butt.

Thanks Adam

    We have this problem as well and usually as they are so cheap we just replace them annually, I keep a few spares in the van in case of issues.

    Could you put an inline water softner in the system, dont know how this would affect the water pressure tho.

    if you can remove them put them in a pot with vinigar that will disolve the limescale
