Welcome to the Hessenauer Sprinkler Repair and Irrigation blog and website. We like to inform our online readers about sprinkler irrigation here in Orlando and the Central Florida area. Today we would like to give our website visitors some tips and advice concerning how to better regulate a sprinkler system’s water usage.
Saving water is just like saving money. As your landscaping matures and evolves, its watering needs change. Using your water efficiently is key to lowering your water bill, which translates directly to money in your pocket.
Avoid overspray on sidewalks and walkways to prevent too much water usage and lower the water bill. In certain cases, residential customers can use nearby water sources such as a lake for irrigation purposes to save water. Saving money is always a plus and lake water can be a solution that saves our customers a ton of cash.
If you water the lawn with a hose then it is 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.
Use water restricting parts so the lawn gets just enough water. There is no need to waste water when it isn’t necessary. A great idea to conserve water is by using rain barrels or a nearby lake. Saving water means saving money on your water bill.
A problem with the irrigation system controller could prompt 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.
