EVEN WELL-DESIGNED IRRIGATION SYSTEMS REQUIRE
REGULAR MAINTENANCE TO PERFORM EFFICIENTLY

Check your system regularly --- This will take only a few minutes to turn your controller on to test each station for 1-2 minutes and walk around your yard to visually check things out.

Lk for obvious issues, missing heads or nozzles, wet spots, running water where it shouldn’t be.

And have a licensed irrigation professional perform periodic System Checks. This is a short list of items we check regularly during our site visits.

Perform Periodic Irrigation System Checks for:

Leaks:
   Pipe Leaks -- look for water that surfaces or creates wet spots
   Weeping Valves
 
Stations / Zones:
   Proper design of hydrozones - [Grass & Flower beds have different watering needs and efforts should
                                                            be taken to have them in a separate zone(s).]
   Proper selection of heads per hydrozone
   Distribution Uniformity -- not all systems or stations are created equal

Heads:
   Proper spacing for "head-to-head" coverage
   Broken, leaking, low, misaligned, obstructed, or tilted
 
Nozzles:
   Broken and/or clogged nozzles
   Overspray, wrong pattern or trajectory, or poor coverage

Pressure:
   High or low pressure
   Misting
 
Test:
   Existing Rain & Freeze Sensor or have one installed
   Controller manual operation
   Valves open & close completely and properly

Controller Settings:
   Proper Date & Time
   Watering Cycle Scheduling
   Appropriate Watering
   Check or replace your controller backup battery
