| Many people ask, "why
can’t I turn on the irrigation system myself? It should only
require the switching on of a valve and plugging in the
clock, right?" We hear that a lot, but our turn on process
is essential to your system operating properly.
Here's why:
The harsh winter in the
Northeast can cause many problems with your system. Our
technicians are trained to go through a procedure of system
checks to look for signs of damage and potential problems.
Our technicians will check that all heads, valves and pipe
are in proper working order including spray direction, clogs
and damage. Your timers are set for proper watering
sequences and time according to where they are and what they
are watering. Our technicians also take into consideration
your topography, system capabilities, water flow or gallons
per minute, system pressure and numerous other system
checks. A homeowner or inexperienced irrigation company does
not have the experience or capabilities to ensure your
system is running its best.
Additionally, in the fall
your system should be blown out by a professional and
experienced company. The fall is a critical time to be sure
your lines are blown out completely and thoroughly to avoid
winter ice breaks and seizing of your pipes and connections.
Applying too much pressure with an improperly calibrated air
compressor while blowing out the lines can also cause damage
to your system. Not enough pressure and your system will not
be winterized properly.
