During what scenario should you immediately repair or replace damaged wires?

The reason for opting to repair or replace damaged wires immediately upon discovery is that damaged wires can lead to significant issues in an irrigation system, such as erratic operation, shorts, or complete failure of components. Addressing the damage right away ensures the integrity of the entire system, reduces the risk of further complications, and minimizes downtime. Taking prompt action to fix any wire damage helps maintain efficient operation and prevent potential water wastage or limited effectiveness of the irrigation system.

This urgency is particularly important because any delay might exacerbate the problem, leading to more extensive damage or costly repairs later on. Immediate action prevents interruption in the irrigation process, maintains plant health, and supports efficient water management practices.
