Why Choose Drip Irrigation?

Step-by-Step Guide: Building a Drip Irrigation System with Bestfix Enterprise

Step 1: Assess Your Farm Layout and Water Source

Start by understanding your farm’s size, crop type, row spacing, and water source. Our team at Bestfix offers on-site assessments and consultations to help you plan the most efficient layout.

Step 2: Choose the Right Materials
At Bestfix, we stock all the essential components for a complete system:

• Mainline Pipes – High-quality HDPE or PVC pipes for main water distribution
• Sub-main Pipes – Typically 32mm or 25mm pipes that distribute water to different sections
• Drip Lines / Drip Tapes – Available in various spacing options (15cm, 20cm, 30cm) depending on crop
• Filters – Disc or screen filters to remove dirt and prevent clogging
• Valves and Connectors – Ball valves, tees, elbows, and end caps to manage flow
• Fertilizer Injectors – For fertigation systems
• Pressure Regulators – To maintain consistent pressure across the system

We help you choose the right specifications for each part based on your crop and terrain.

Step 3: Install the System

Here’s how the typical installation flows:

1. Connect the Mainline – Link your water source (e.g., tank or borehole) to the mainline pipe.
2. Install the Filter and Fertilizer Injector – To ensure clean and nutrient-rich water reaches your crops.
3. Lay the Sub-mains and Drip Lines – Use connectors to branch out from the mainline to sub-mains and then to drip lines.
4. Fix Emitters or Use Integrated Drip Lines – If using button drippers, drill and install them along the lateral pipes.
5. Cap the Ends – Use end caps to seal the drip lines and allow for flushing.
6. Test the System – Run water through to check for leaks, blockages, and proper pressure.
