Pretty much everything needs an update once in a while, right?
Your car. Your phone. Your hairstyle. (No offense.)
Same for your irrigation system. Unless it’s pretty new, you should upgrade your irrigation system so it can work its best out there, giving your lawn and landscaping the water it needs to thrive, without wasting water — and your money.
It’s easy to take water for granted.
There it is, always ready when we need it, flowing from our faucets and spraying out over our green lawns.
Too bad we’re wasting a lot of it, for no good reason.
Experts at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimate as much as 50 percent of water used for landscape irrigation is wasted.
We all know that feeling of turning something on, only to find out it isn’t working. It’s especially frustrating if you have no idea what’s wrong with it.
So if you turn on your sprinkler system and it isn't working right, you can try to troubleshoot the issue before it gets worse.
A broken or damaged sprinkler system can hike up your water bill and even damage your landscape and home if left unattended. So before summer gets into full swing, take the time to troubleshoot any potential irrigation problems.
Here are five things you should look for to figure out if your sprinkler system is faulty and needs repairs.
