The irrigation method influences the optimum duration of chemical injection.
Chemical injection rates may inadvertently vary during an irrigation set for many reasons: improper mixing, system flow rate fluctuations, and system pressure fluctuations
Drip systems must account for the disposal of filter flush water.
