Is Your Sprinkler System Prepared for Duty?
 

by Tom Lanier, Sprinkler Pros

Is your sprinkler system ready for another season of hard work? With the long winter we encountered, many have not turned their sprinkler systems back on yet, but now is the time. Don’t wait until the sun starts baking your hard-earned investment.

Here’s a checklist to help you:

-If you have a shutoff valve to your sprinkler system, be sure that it is turned on slowly and check it for leaks

-Check the sprinkler valves for leaks before proceeding

-Check that the sprinkler timer is set correctly for time, date, and other settings

-Check that the backup battery is good. It should be changed once a year with your smoke alarm batteries

-Activate each valve from the timer to ensure that the wiring connections are good

-When each valve is activated then “walk through” that line and check for broken pipes or sprinkler heads; that each nozzle is spraying properly; and for proper head-to-head coverage

If any of these things are amiss, take the necessary measures or call me to do this system analysis at 878.5449 for sprinkler system repairs and improvements. Enjoy your landscape this spring and summer!
