Introduction As the days grow longer and temperatures rise, it’s time to prepare your sprinkler system for the upcoming spring and summer seasons. At “The Sprinklerman,” we specialize in ensuring that your irrigation system is ready to deliver optimal performance. Here’s how we handle spring start-ups to keep your lawn lush and healthy. 1. System Activation Gradual Water Turn-On We open the main shutoff valve gradually to prevent water hammer (sudden pressure surges). Slowly introducing water minimizes the risk of burst pipes or damaged components. Zone Testing Our team manually activates each zone to verify proper operation. We observe the sprinklers in action, checking for any issues such as low pressure, clogged nozzles, or malfunctioning heads. 2. Backflow Device Check Backflow prevention is crucial to protect your drinking water supply. Our steps include: Verifying that the backflow prevention device is functioning correctly. Ensuring that it meets local regulations and standards. 3. Thorough Inspection Our expert technicians perform a detailed inspection of your sprinkler system components. Here’s what we check: Sprinkler Heads and Coverage We examine each sprinkler head to ensure proper rotation and coverage. Misaligned or faulty heads can result in uneven watering and dry patches. Our team adjusts the heads as needed to guarantee uniform water distribution across your lawn. Leaks and Water Loss Prevention Leaks can lead to wasted water and increased utility bills. We meticulously inspect all pipes, fittings, and connections for leaks. If we find any issues, we promptly repair or replace the affected parts to prevent water loss. Controller Setup A well-programmed controller is essential for efficient irrigation. We review your existing watering schedule and make adjustments if necessary. Our goal is to create an optimal watering plan that considers factors like soil type, sun exposure, and plant needs. 4. Customer Education We believe in empowering our customers. As part of our service, we provide: Tips on adjusting watering schedules based on weather conditions. Guidance on maintaining your sprinkler system throughout the season.
