Regular Inspection and Maintenance Are the Keys to Ensuring Optimal Performance of Your Sprinkler System

Did you know that the key to having a long lasting, highly effective automatic irrigation system year after year is making sure that your system receives regular inspections and maintenance? That's right. All of the experts agree that by regularly inspecting and maintaining your system ensures that you keep the cost of operation down and ensure that it continues to deliver all of the benefits that you deserve. So, what is involved in inspecting and maintaining an automatic irrigation system? To get started, it is important to point out that visual inspection coupled with knowledge of how your current system is operating is the key to identifying the slight differences in performance and appearance that can indicate a potential problem. In order to do this, it is often recommended that you know exactly how much water your system puts out in various zones in one minute. This will give you a baseline for the average performance of your system. Once you have established a baseline performance level for each zone, it is important to regularly measure the output of each zone to ensure that it is continuing to perform at optimal levels. A drop in water output can indicate a drop in pressure in the pipes that feed the sprinkler nozzles and the drip emitters which may indicate a leak that is small enough to escape detection otherwise since the water being lost is not enough to create a damp spot in the soil. Additionally, when inspecting your system, you should also monitor the behavior of the sprinkler nozzles and drip emitters to ensure that they are spraying (or dripping) from all of the designated areas. These are the parts that receive the most use during operation and have the highest potential for wear and failure. Any underperforming nozzle or emitter should be replaced immediately. Lastly, the various valves in the system should be checked to ensure that they are operating properly. If not, they should be replaced in order to prevent damage to the other areas of the system as they are responsible for helping to control the water pressure in the pipes.
