Welcome to the Hessenauer Sprinkler Repair and Irrigation blog and website. We intend to provide our online readers news, tips and advice concerning commercial and residential sprinkler irrigation here in Orlando and surrounding communities. Today we would like to discuss some important points to cover about controlling sprinkler system water usage.
If you are watering your lawn with a hose then it may be time to have your sprinkler system evaluated and possibly updated. Plants need water to survive and accurate watering is essential to a healthy, green lawn.
A problem with your irrigation system’s controller could prompt the need for repair. Timer conflicts and impaired rain sensors could be altering watering times and therefore cause dead foliage. A properly designed sprinkler system in excellent condition can give you a healthy lawn.
Low water pressure could prevent proper water coverage for your lawn. If your sprinkler system needs repair, your lawn may have dry yellow or brown spots. When the water isn’t sprayed to the optimum capacity of your irrigation system, there could be dead, dry spots in the lawn.
If your irrigation system is working properly, you will not have to rely much on Mother Nature. Different amounts of water are required depending on plants, grass and type of soil. Only water when needed. Schedule watering periodically or use a rain sensor to adjust when watering times proceed. Early morning and evening are the best times to water.
A great idea to conserve water is by using rain barrels or a nearby lake. Saving water means saving money on your water bill.
Too much water could be just as harmful as not enough. The Orlando area gets a good amount of rain through the summer so proper drainage could be an important issue as well. At Hessenauer Sprinkler Repair and Irrigation, we can tackle your drainage issues such as standing water and puddles in the lawn.
