How do you clean a drip pipe?

To clean a drip pipe, you can flush the system with a cleaning solution.

Here's a breakdown of how to clean a drip pipe, based on the provided reference:

1. Apply a Cleaning Solution: Introduce a cleaning solution into the drip irrigation system. The reference suggests using an organic solution; however, specific product recommendations are not given.

2. Soak: Allow the cleaning solution to sit in the system for approximately 48 hours. This soaking period allows the solution to break down any buildup or blockages inside the drip pipes.

3. Flush the System: After the soaking period, thoroughly flush the drip lines. This removes the cleaning solution and the loosened debris. Open the end caps of the lateral and sub-main lines to ensure a complete flush.

4. Regular Maintenance: Repeat this cleaning process monthly to prevent future blockages and maintain optimal performance of the drip irrigation system.
