Re: Watering systems?
Barb, I'll second Diana's "dirty water theory". This could be from -1) the source,
such as a well, with insufficient filtering system -2) if soluble fertilizers are
being used they may not be totally mixed in the water and could settle and clog
filters. Also, combining certain fertilizers could also cause re-crystalization.
-3) (my nemesis) white poly pipe. White poly is % transparent. When the sun hits
the fertilizer water that is sitting in the pipe it causes algae to grow which clogs
filters and emitters.
