["NOTE:","Hard water (with high lime content) will cause scaling up and clogging of irrigation pipes and dripper nozzles, if the irrigation pipes are exposed to heat (e.g. direct sun shine on black piping). Make sure to bury feeder pipes and protect other pipes and drippers from excessive exposure to heat."]
