As mentioned last week, keeping your irrigation system working properly is very important in order to conserve water and money. An irrigation system should be checked at least annually so the system can be working at its maximum efficiency. In an effort to help you do your own tune up on your sprinkler system, we will offer step by step directions on how to do it.
Step 1: Turn on each zone valve, one at a time to inspect the zone for problems.
If you have above ground zone valves, carefully inspect for leaks, drips or puddles around the valve. If one is leaking, you will need to replace it. Replacement parts are inexpensive and easy to install.
Step 2: Replace the battery in your irrigation controller
Reset the controller and make sure it is set for the current date and time. Adjust your watering times to meet the new seasonal needs.
Stay tuned for Steps 3 & 4 tomorrow!
