ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS
WHY CAN I NOT GET A ZONE TO TURN OFF BY THE CONTROLLER?
There are valves in the ground, usually in a green box in the ground. There is usually debris inside the valve.
WHEN IS A GOOD TIME TO RUN MY IRRIGATION SYSTEM?
It is recommended to run it in the morning before daylight hours. This is your best opportunity to have the least amount of wind and evaporation.
WHY DOES A SPRINKLER HEAD KEEP STICKING UP AFTER THE SYSTEM RUNS?
That usually means the spring inside the head is too weak to pull the head back down.
WHAT DOES AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM COST?
It will depend on the size of the yard. A good range for a typical city lot is
$2,000 to $3,500.
WHY IS WATER BUBBLING UP UNDERGROUND?
You might have a leak on the main water line for the system. This line is always pressurized unless the irrigation water is turned off in the house.
WHY IS MY SYSTEM RUNNING WHEN IT'S RAINING?
The rain sensor must collect enough rain in order to shut it down. Also, the battery in the rain sensor may be dead.
WHEN SHOULD I HAVE MY SYSTEM WINTERIZED?
You want to have it winterized before the temperature drops below freezing at night.
IS MY WATER PRESSURE HIGH ENOUGH FOR AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM?
We will conduct a pressure test. We then design your system to ensure your sprinklers will operate at the optimal pressure. If a larger water meter or pump is required, we will advise you ahead of time.
