PIVOT SPRINKLERS
SPRINKLER PACKAGE UPGRADE
When should a sprinkler package be replaced?
Sprinklers and regulators experience normal wear and tear during use. Nozzles become worn and regulators loose accuracy, both of which affect how much water and how uniformly it is applied. This can be detrimental to crop production efficiency.
A new sprinkler package is recommend generally every 10 years depending on water quality and level of use.
Things to look for:
-
Rings and streaks in crop, especially those following a circular pattern.
-
Sprinklers not rotating or functioning properly.
-
Wrong nozzles sizes.

WHAT IS LEPA LESA?
LEPA (Low Energy Precision Application) is a pivot sprinkler package which operates at very low pressure applying water directly to the furrow, typically a bubbler or hose drag sprinkler every other furrow. LEPA packages operate below the crop canopy.
LESA (Low Energy Spray Application) is a pivot sprinkler package with operates at low pressure with spray type sprinklers. LESA packages can operate above or below the crop canopy.
Limitations:
-
Field Slope for LEPA and LESA should be limited to 1-2% due to runoff potential and sprinkler dragging.
-
Soil types must allow high infiltration rates also due to runoff potential.
-
Inner spans may require MESA (Medium Energy Spray Application) sprinklers due to nozzle size limitations and plugging issues.
Please Contact Us to find out if LEPA or LESA is a good fit for your field.
