Check Sprinkler Systems Carefully After Start Up
Upon system start up after a long cold winter special care should be taken to make sure there are no problems with the irrigation system that could cause damage or flooding to your home or could waste water and result in high water bills. Please take a look at the following tips for sprinkler start up:
- Check sprinkler heads for spray direction and damage.
- Make sure control valves are not leaking.
- Inspect vacuum breaker and above ground valves for leaks or damage caused by freezing temperatures.
- Look for indications of an underground leak that needs repair.
- Adjust the timing for the current month.
- Water in short cycles if your landscape has a slope.
