How To Use A Drip Irrigation Vacuum Relief Valve [irrigation education]

A vacuum relief valve is essential for keeping contaminants out of the drip emitters when the zone shuts off. Sometimes, there's a vacuum created that sucks debris back into the drippers. This product is key in preventing that. This is one lecture from our comprehensive, affordable Drip Irrigation online video course that you can find below.

we have sixteen two hundred and forty feet rose in our community garden, and we have drip tape irrigation, no, nothing else is it possible for when the system shuts down for the moisture and the water to be sucked back up

[@Proirrigationtraining]

Now that I think about it, a vacuum relief valve may not work or even be necessary for a drip tape system. I don't have much experience with the tape, but my impression is that it always flattens back out as the water drains out. I don't think that would cause any suction back through the drippers.

Hello i got a problem with my irrigation drip line it’s a poli line a we put the espagueti drips and it’s just to low pressure

[@Proirrigationtraining]

Hi there, thanks for watching! I've got a couple questions. What is the pressure at your source? Have you maybe put too many drippers on your line? For instance, a 1/2" tubing will usually carry 4 or 5 gallons per minute, and the 1/4" tubing will only carry 17 gallons per hour. If you exceed those flow maximums, it will look like too low pressure.
