Irrigation Maintenance
Why Irrigation maintenance is strongly recommended:
Irrigation systems are complex with many various moving parts operating in the middle of the night. This level of usage underscores the importance of regular maintenance to ensure the system operates efficiently and effectively.A simple defective couple of heads can cost hundreds of dollars on your water bill and because the system usually runs early in the morning, you will not know until you receive your water bill – which then also charges for sewer too with most municipalities. During drought season, waiting for week(s) for service costs thousands of dollars in damaged lawns and shrubs.

Regular Inspection
Check for Leaks: Inspect your irrigation system for any visible leaks, especially around valves, pipes, and sprinkler heads. Even minor leaks can lead to water wastage and damage to your landscape.
Examine Sprinkler Heads: Make sure all sprinkler heads are functioning properly. Clean or replace clogged nozzles and adjust the spray pattern to avoid overspray onto non-landscaped areas.
Seasonal Adjustments
Weather Awareness: Adjust your irrigation schedule based on the weather. Reduce watering during rainy periods to prevent overwatering and increase it during dry spells to prevent underwatering.
Time of Day: Water your landscape during the early morning hours or late afternoon to minimize water loss due to evaporation.
Controller Management
Programming: Set your irrigation controller to deliver the appropriate amount of water for each zone. Different plants may require varying water levels.
Battery Check: If your controller is battery-operated, replace the batteries annually to ensure uninterrupted operation.
Maintenance Tasks
Drip System Check: For drip irrigation, inspect tubes and emitters for blockages or damage. Flush the system periodically to prevent clogs.
Clean Filters: Clean or replace filters in your system regularly to maintain proper water flow and prevent debris from clogging the nozzles.
