Fall is the Time to Repair and Upgrade Your Irrigation System and Save Money
It is an annual pattern that many homeowners choose to upgrade outdated sprinkler systems or repair dysfunctional sprinklers in the fall because watering is now done less frequently. Such repairs and upgrades ultimately save water and money on the utility bill.
Here are a few of the things we suggest to be done:
1. Replace Old Sprinkler Heads
To save money and get optimal use from your sprinklers, replace old or worn sprinkler heads. Worn sprinkler heads will often not raise or lower as they should so that your lawn doesn’t receive the best water angle.
A high-performance sprinkler head will water as close to the turf as possible to allow water to soak into the ground and grass roots to avoid evaporation and waste.
The ideal sprinkler head will suit the needs of your lawn with the ideal water flow and correct projection of the stream.
2. Update Your Irrigation Control System
The technology is there so you might as well use it. Replace outdated analog irrigation control systems with a smart system. A smart system can save you up to 50% on your utility bill!
Smart technology allows you to schedule irrigation cycles based on soil and plant types, sun exposure, temperature, and even the local rain forecast! The smart controller will water when your yard needs it. Scheduling is good for your yard since the controller will prevent overwatering.
