Does a system require preventative maintenance?

Yes, it would be comparable to a car

It will operate without preventative maintenance, but your overall cost of operation will be higher if you wait until components fail.

Overall, the amount of maintenance required is directly related to the quality of the system.

A poor system could cost as much as the installation within 5 years. A good system, 15 years.

We automate all of this with our Service Contracts

Do I need to clean the filters in my sprinklers?

Sometimes they can become clogged

Can you fix sprinklers that are too high or crooked?

Yes, once and for all

Sprinklers should not move if they are installed correctly.

There are instances when even a properly installed sprinkler can move with the heaving and freezing of the soil, but this would be an exception and not the rule.

My garden has grown and now the water from the sprinklers are blocked. What do I do?

There are a few options

This can be solved;

  • by raising the sprinklers,
  • changing the sprinklers,
  • moving the sprinklers or
  • redesigning the zone completely to water at the roots and not from above.
Can you make my sprinklers spray farther?

It may be possible.

It depends on why they are not spraying far enough.

If they are spraying their maximum distance, then it is not the fault of the sprinkler. It would require changing the layout of the sprinklers.

This is a design failure and can be corrected.

If they are not spraying their maximum distance, it is because they are not getting enough pressure.

This can be a design failure, water obstruction or low water supply pressure.

All of which can be corrected.

Is there a way to increase the water pressure?

There is, but it depends on your municipality

A booster pump could be used to increase the water pressure supplied by the city.

This should only be required to try and correct a poorly designed system or a drop in water pressure supplied by the municipality.

Can you stop the noise in my pipes when the sprinklers operate?

It is possible, but there are many possibilities as to the cause

More often than not, it is because the sprinkler system is using too much water for the size of pipe.

Service contracts are available to purchase from January to March each year.
