The HEAT is on! SPRINKLER ALERT!

DUE TO HIGH HEAT AND PROLONG DRY PERIOD WE ARE ADVISING ALL OF OUR CLIENTS TO DO THE FOLLOWING:

1. Increase the run time on your rotary sprinkler zones to 60 minutes per RR Logoday.

2. Increase your SPRAY sprinkler zones to water for 20 minutes every day. 

3. Increase your DRIP IRRIGATION zones to water for 60 minutes every day.

4. Increase the water budget key on your sprinklers to 120% or more.

5. Water as early in the morning as possible. Start at 1 am if possible. This will give your system the greatest pressure and volume and operate at the highest efficiency. It will also finish the cycle before you are up and using water in the home.

6. Try not to use water in the house at the same time you are using your sprinkler system. There is not enough water to handle the demand.

7. Try not to water during the day.

8. Observe local ordinances such as odd/even day watering.

9. Visually check your system for broken pipe, broken sprinklers, clogged nozzles, and blocked spray from overgrown lawn, plants, and trees.

10. If your landscape is still thirsty then run a second cycle at the end of the day or early evening.

11. If you can't figure out how to use your controller then I recommend you call the manufacturer tech support. They have a staff to walk you through using the controller.

12. Call us and make an appointment if you have sprinkler related problems. The office is very busy and the phone is always in use. You can also email us at jsenk@rainrich.com, shansen@rainrich.com, and mnava@rainrich.com.

Thanks, and stay cool!
