Sustainable Irrigation begins with knowledge. Maintenance is key to improving a sprinkler system’s efficiency rating – an Audit reveals exact distribution uniformity per station/zone. Heads Up Sprinkler Company wants you to understand the differences between how your system currently performs and how an efficient system performs.

We want to help you understand the concepts of distribution uniformity, precipitation rates and system efficiency. These are standard irrigation auditing terms that define the overall performance of a sprinkler system or a single station/zone.

A Full System Audit starts with your system working in its best possible manner, all leaks repaired, all heads in working order, etc.

A Full System Audit consists of a detailed analysis of these factors:

Performance Evaluation -- Even well-designed and properly installed irrigation systems degrade over time. Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditors are trained to look for the following problems:

	Valve malfunctions	Arc misaligner
	Low pressure	Low sprinkler pressure
	High Pressure	Leaky seals or fittings
	Tilted Sprinklers	Lateral or drip line leaks
	Spray deflection	Missing or broken heads
	Sunken sprinklers	Slow drainage or ponding
	Plugged equipment	Compaction/thatch/run-off

Audit Results -- The final analysis of your full system audit will provide you with a detailed plan for watering to take the guesswork out of setting your timer/controller. sprinkler audit collection field Heads Up will be able to show you how to improve your coverage while saving water and maintaining a healthy landscape.

Recommendations -- The landscape irrigation audit procedure often identifies system upgrades or redesigns that can help achieve greater savings of water and money over the life of the system.
