Spring turn on:
A lawn sprinkler turn on is the 'opening' of your
lawn sprinkler irrigation system after it was
shut down for the winter months A spring start up is completed by the
Pacific Lawn Sprinklers Team anytime in March
and right through May. We recommend having your start up completed
BEFORE you have landscaping and plantings installed to ensure that your
grass, shrubs and flowers receive water immediately after planting.
During a Spring Turn On, Pacific Will:
-
Slowly open the supply
valves and pressurize supply lines and water mains
-
Energize each
individual zone and perform a detailed inspection of the lateral
supply lines
-
Check sprinkler heads,
risers, drip irrigation lines or emitters for proper operation
-
Adjust sprinkler heads
for direction and volume required for the specific area they are
watering
-
Reprogram the
irrigation controller for spring settings and watering times
-
Perform other
inspections and adjustments to the automatic rain sensors, electronic
control valves and control wiring
Some common irrigation repairs/ adjustments are:
-
Replace any clogged
nozzles
-
Repair leaks in lawn
sprinkler system lines
-
Recalibrate or replace
any defective electric solenoid valves
