Irrigation Season Is Upon Us! Here is a quick checklist to help:
1. Make an appointment with a certified backflow tester. IRRIGATION TEST REPORTS DUE JULY 15TH!
2. Check the controller:
- Clean, check settings and replace back-up battery
- Adjust irrigation schedule as needed
- Uncover and clean weather sensors
- Upgrade to smart controller or install add-on sensor.
3. Run and Check:
- Remove dirt/debris and clean your filters.
- Slowly open water line to prevent pressure surges, uncontrolled flow and water hammer.
- Check sprinkler heads, and drip lines for leaks. Adjust them to eliminate overspray and runoff.
- Inspect valves closely to ensure proper function and no leakage.4. Visit Our Website:
