Water quality also can have impact on irrigation equipment. Let's talk about possible impacts of water chemistry on irrigation equipment.
Dear Kumar,
Actually, Chemistry of irrigation water directly affect the irrigation equipment. Specilly steel and metallic component of the equipment.
1 corrosion is the major issue.
water with higher DO and Acid water are responsible for higher corosion rate.
Salt, specilly chlorid stimulate the corosion.
2. Irrigation water with higher hardness (Ca2+ & Mg2+) is responsible to presipitate in salt in Irrigation line/cooling system of quipment.

Dear Kumar
I agree with the answer of Mr Piyal Aravinna. But still we use this water that contain dissolved salts in irrigation sometimes the cost of treatment of water is higher the the fixed cost of the equipment so simply replace the infected pipes of sprayers by new ones. There should be economic study on your case . for example the cost of water treatment vs. the fixed cost of irrigation equipment.
