The Lawn Pros Spring Turn On
At Lawn Pros, we take spring turn on very seriously. Your system is actually a complex series of plumbing and electrical parts that need to be maintained. The Lawn Pros Spring Turn On checklist includes the following:
• Overall system check: We do this by slowly turning on the main valve and gently letting water fill in the sprinkler main and manifold.
Once the system is filled, we check for leaks:
– manifold and zone valves
– backflow device
– all zones
– all sprinkler heads
• Sprinkler Controller: We will troubleshoot your controller and program your watering schedule. If your controller is more than 10 years old, we can update it. You will recover the cost in water savings in one year.
• Rain Sensor: We will make sure your rain sensor is working properly. Rain sensors are sensitive instruments and should be changed every 5-10 years.
• System Wiring: Inspect field wiring between controller and zone valves. The freeze/thaw action of the ground, mice, rats, and rodents can all damage the wire. At the same time we will check all wire splices. Wire splices should be protected using waterproof electrical connectors.
• Backflow Device: Visually examine the backflow device and test if required by the local water department. Lawn Pros recommends that backflow devices be rebuilt every five years. If it is over 10 years old, consider replacing.
• Landscape Coverage: Finally, check sprinkler system for coverage of your landscape. As landscapes mature sprinkler heads may need to be moved, added, or shut off. The nozzles in the sprinkler head may need to be increased or reduced.
A finely tuned sprinkler system will keep your Colorado landscape healthy all year. Here are four important benefits to the Lawn Pros spring sprinkler turn on:
