A well-designed irrigation system needs regular maintenance to ensure that it continues to efficiently and uniformly distribute the water, ensures optimum growth and management of your plants and trees, and help you to conserve water resources.
A comprehensive irrigation system maintenance plan should include:
- Periodic maintenance schedule for inspection
- Periodic review of the system components to verify that the components meet the original design criteria for efficient operation and uniform distribution of water
- Assurance that the replacement hardware used for system repairs matches the existing hardware, and is in accordance with the design
- Ensure that system modifications are in keeping with design specifications and do not cause landscape water demand to exceed the hydraulic capacity of the system
- “Winterization” protocol wherever required and a subsequent process for system activation in the spring
By maintaining your irrigation system’s health, you are ensuring that your landscape will benefit from years of proper watering and feeding cycles.
