- Filter upgrades. Disc or sand media filters for drip fed from farm dams. See Irrigation Filtration Systems.
- Pre-season servicing. Flushing lines, cleaning filters and checking pressures before the vines need water. See Farm Irrigation Maintenance.
- Replant drip. New drip for replanted vineyard blocks. See Vineyard Irrigation.
- Fruit trees. Drip or micro-sprinklers for fruit blocks. See Orchard Irrigation.
Points Contractors Check in the Valley
- Algae and leaves. Farm dam water often carries organic matter that a basic screen filter cannot handle.
- Falling dam levels. As dams drop in late summer, intake depth and suction lift affect how well the pump performs.
- Valley floor and mountain-side blocks. Blocks at different heights need separate pressure settings.
- Vines and fruit on one farm. Different crops need their own valves and schedules.

Send a water test result if you have one, since filter choice depends on it. Servicing is easiest to book after harvest and before irrigation starts again.

Agricultural Irrigation Franschhoek FAQs
Which filter suits farm dam water?
Dam water with algae and organic matter is usually handled with disc or sand media filters with automatic backflush. A water test helps the specialist choose and size the filter.
How often should vineyard drip be serviced?
At least before each irrigation season, with filters cleaned and lines flushed more often in summer. A contractor can set a visit schedule for your farm.
Can drippers blocked by algae be cleaned?
Sometimes, by flushing and a treatment the supplier recommends. Badly blocked lines may need replacing, so ask for both prices.
