How to Get the Best & Longest Use Out of Your Sprinkler System

January 30, 2022 By devenbwm

Your home’s irrigation system is essential for properly distributing water across your lawn or property. To keep it running for the longest possible time, it is important that you follow routine care and common maintenance practices. By scheduling annual inspections, systematically turning your system on and off, and utilizing automated irrigation equipment, you can increase the efficiency of your sprinkler system. To learn more about the best tips for keeping your irrigation system running its best, read on below.

Schedule Routine Inspections

After installing a home irrigation system, it is recommended to schedule a professional inspection of your sprinklers every year. A professional eye can find any damage or potential risks that you may not be able to find on your own. The best time of year to schedule an inspection is during your winterization or spring start-up appointment. Annual inspections and professional repairs are key to getting the best and longest use out of your irrigation system.

Fix Any Damage Right Away

Similar to any situation, it is best to catch any damage and make necessary repairs right away. Through constant upkeep and routine maintenance, you can find any potential risks before they happen. By being proactive and fixing small clogs and tears as soon as possible, further damage and more expensive complications can be avoided. For best practice, it is recommended to do a general inspection of your sprinkler system before turning it on each time.

Winterize Your Irrigation System

Winterizing your irrigation system is an essential practice to properly maintain your sprinklers. Cold temperatures and inclement weather can cause your sprinkler heads and main pipelines to freeze, causing severe damage to your equipment. Turning off your sprinklers in the winter is also a great way to save water and energy costs. For more information about the winterization process, read our blog, or visit our services page to learn more.

Water Your Lawn Early in the Day

By watering your lawn earlier in the day, you can save time and energy. In the morning, you are less likely to lose moisture due to evaporation from the sun’s beating rays. With this, your vegetation can hold onto water and nutrients longer and you can use your sprinklers less frequently. It is also recommended to avoid watering at night too, as this can create an over-saturation in the grass and lead to fungi infestations.

Install an Automatic Timer

Installing an Automatic Water Timer allows you to schedule when your system will turn on and off ahead of time. By using a switch system, these timers automatically control the power of your irrigation system based on the custom needs of your lawn. Taking advantage of an automatic system helps take the stress out of remembering if you shut off your system in time or if you are running the right amount of water pressure. Using water timers helps save you money in energy costs, as well as helping to maintain your irrigation system for a longer period of time.
