FAQ
frequently asked questions
Why are spring startups so important?
Many sprinkler heads get damaged over time from riding lawn mowers, utility workers, vehicles, winter yard work, etc. April is a good time to test your system to make sure that the rotor heads are adjusted properly and the nozzles are clear of debris. Repairs can sometimes be as simple as replacing a filter or spray nozzle that clogged from debris or have come loose over time.
