Irrigation Audits: July 2010 Archives

sprinklermodification3.jpgThis summer has been a challenge on many levels, the weather being the most extreme. Scheduling sprinkler systems to run, the frequency,  and duration has been the focus the last several weeks.  When we schedule the calls for controller adjustments we are also finding many other issues being discovered for the first time. To compound the situation is that the past several seasons have seen above average rainfall in June - August which has masked many of the problems in the system and in the yard.

1. Sprinkler heads go out of adjustment.

2. Sprinkler heads are crooked and do not spray properly.

3. There are broken or partially broken sprinkler heads and pipes.

4. Sprinkler pipe is chocked off due to root growth.
