As the temperatures warm and the lawn and garden begins to thaw, there is no better time than
springtime to make sure your automatic sprinkler system is ready for another season of efficient
lawn and garden watering. Just a few simple steps will go a long way towards saving water,
money and help prevent a mid-summer landscape catastrophe at home.

When our technicians come out to start up your system they will do the following:
Run a check of the irrigation controls and programs. This includes dusting away the cobwebs on the
timer, making sure the date and time is correct, and that the settings are appropriate for your
landscape’s watering needs.

Inspect the sprinkler heads. This includes looking for signs of debris that may be blocking the flow
of water. Checking and adjusting spray patterns making sure all the important areas are getting full

Rain Bird nozzles and spray heads are designed to withstand normal wear and tear, but are no match
to errant lawn mowers, landscape work and chewing animals (etc). Our technicians will replace any
broken heads, nozzles, valves, or pipes. Please keep in mind; sometimes leaks do not show up right
away. It is not uncommon to repair a leak and a few days later another leak presents itself. This is
due to that area now getting full water pressure.

If you have us, Love Irrigation, come out to tune up your system in February we recommend
that you run through the test program on your controller at least once a week. We understand you
may not be using your irrigation system very much this time of year. Testing your system will
give you a chance to check things over and make sure there are no issues. Remember, service
repairs are covered by a 30 day limited warranty (valves and leaks not included).
