Cost advantage
Low material cost
PVC is a common plastic material with a wide range of raw materials and mature production technology. This makes the production cost of PVC flat water hose relatively low. Therefore, in agricultural irrigation, the procurement cost is lower than that of some special materials, such as rubber water hoses. For large-scale irrigation, useing PVC water discharge hoses can effectively reduce the equipment procurement cost while ensuring the irrigation function.
Low installation cost
PVC water hoses are light in weight and the installation process is relatively simple. There is no need to use complex tools and a lot of manpower for handling and installation like metal water hoses. For example, in some small farmland irrigation scenarios, farmers can easily complete the laying and connection of PVC water hoses by themselves. It does not require professional installers, thus saving installation costs.
Advantages of ease of use
Easy to connect
The interface design of PVC hose is simple, and it can usually be connected with simple quick connectors or hose clamps. These connection methods are easy to operate and do not require special tools or skills. At the irrigation site, if the hose needs to be extended or the damaged part needs to be replaced, farmers can quickly complete the connection operation. This greatly reduces the maintenance time of the irrigation system. For example, when the irrigation area is temporarily expanded, the new PVC hose can be easily connected to the original irrigation system.
Easy to clean and maintain
Due to the relatively smooth surface of PVC material, dirt is not easy to adhere. After the irrigation is over, the PVC hose can be easily cleaned. If there are residual impurities or scale inside the hose, it can be cleaned by simple rinsing or brushing with a brush. Moreover, the maintenance of PVC hose is also relatively easy. Once a small damage is found, it can be repaired with special PVC glue or repair tape.
