Irrigation begins with knowledge. The most important part to a
sprinkler system is its efficiency -- a sprinkler system in poor
condition wastes water. Heads Up Sprinkler Company invites
you to learn the latest terminology in Water Conservation
Sprinkler Audits. We are an EPA WaterSense Partner certified in
Landscape Irrigation Auditing we can offer you a scientific and
standardized evaluation of your sprinkler system’s performance.
You have seen dry spots in yards where coverage from one head isn’t
meeting and overlapping the coverage from the next closest head.
Irrigation Audits go beyond the visual site inspection. They deliver
precise statistics on how evenly your sprinklers apply water.
Auditing is the inspection of a system to verify the proper
operation of each component, the uniformity of the coverage provided
and to determine the appropriate water-efficient irrigation schedule
using calibrated catch devices. These cups are placed at specific
locations within a stations or zone. A station or zone is then run
for a measured amount of time. Afterwards, the amount of water in
each cup is recorded and run through a formula that yields how
evenly distributed the water is spread through the zone.
The results of an audit indicate precisely how much water is applied
to your yard per hour, the Precipitation Rate. This key value helps
determine how long your sprinklers need to run to deliver the 1” of
water a week needed in the North Texas region during high summer.
Additionally, audit results reveal what steps your yard can take to
benefit from corrected and improved distribution uniformity.
Immediate benefits can be using less water, lowering water bills and
healthier landscapes. Long term benefits can be saving water and
lowering your yard maintenance issues.
Over time, your sprinkler system has probably had some heads
replaced, the yard has had some plants replaced or added, garden
areas have been enlarged or reduced, plants have grown, and
fencelines have changed -- all sorts of landscaping changes. This
has affected how efficiently your system waters.
Heads Up Sprinkler Company audits can help improve how your
sprinklers apply water by optimizing industry standards like matched
precipitation rate, head to head coverage and hydrozoning. Let a
Heads Up Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditor evaluate your system
and maximize your water conservation efforts.
