  2. The Common Problems With Irrigation Pumps ◦ You need to understand common problems with irrigation pumps if this is something that you are looking to buy very soon. While these pumps can help make sure that you do not run short of the important foods you need, you can experience various problems while using them. The following are some of these problems. ◦ One of the common issues with irrigation pumps is lack of supply water. This can be caused by a number of different factors. An irrigation pump that starves for water can cavitate, something that can significantly shorten the life of the pump. In most cases, this is due to a problem with a partially plugged strainer at the water source. For instance, plastic sacks have an unbelievable ability to wrap around an intake strainer and plug it completely. Frogs, fish or sediment, weeds and debris can also plug up the intake strainers.

  3. The Common Problems With Irrigation Pumps ◦ The strainer could also have a design that makes the velocity of water entering it low. This allows debris to float beyond the strainer rather than get sucked into it. Other factors that can also lead to low water supply include the water supply in the pond or creek being too low enough that the pump’s intake system is not able to deliver it to the pump, and the water level in the wells dropping while pumping and causing the pump to starve for water. A domestic water booster pump can also starve for water if there is an issue in the pipeline. ◦ Lack of adequate power is another common problem with irrigation pumps. Irrigation systems are often located at the end of the power grid. The pumps that supply water to the pivots are the largest power draw in the irrigation system. This means that the pumps are the first to suffer if there is a power problem. ◦ For more information on the common problems with irrigation pumps, visit our website at https://fosterspumpinc.com
