Finally, check the nozzle and omitter. After all repairs are made, turn the system back on and make sure the repairs are holding well. Changing the timing clock throughout the gardening season will give you better water conservation. Keep the run-time the same, but, during hot, dry weather, decrease the interval between watering. Conversely, during cool, wet weather, change the interval to a longer period of time between irrigating.
Some homeowners do a system check monthly.
Those who keep up their systems, spend less time maintaining them. For questions, consult irrigation installers, hardware store personnel or the system's manufacturer. The Daily Camera.
