Irrigation System Check-up

The heat has arrived in Phoenix AZ. With the hotter and drier weather it is time to check your irrigation system. Below is a checklist of items that need attention:




  • Check for waterline breaks, leaky valves, broken drip emitters or broken sprinkler heads.

  • Adjust the sprinklers to water the lawn and not the sidewalk, rock or driveway.

  • Adjust the sprinkler/irrigation timer for proper watering times and frequency.

  • Move the drip line emitters out to the drip line of the trees and shrubs as they grow.

  • Check out the following website for guidelines: www.Wateruseitwisely.com/arizona
