Water Saving Tips
Malfunctioning Irrigation Systems Waste Water, Time and Money

Repairing leaks and clogged irrigation equipment assures efficient,
uniform application of water and reduces water use and expense.

On your sprinkler systems check, repair or adjust these items:

• Misaligned heads and nozzles
• Leaking riser seals and pipe fittings
• Buried or low sprinkler heads
• Clogged nozzles and filters
• System application pressures

On drip and soaker hose systems, open the tubing end caps and flush your system of debris for a short period. Also clean, repair and adjust the following:

• In-line sediment filters
• Clogged, broken or missing emitters
• Kinked or cracked drip tubing

Periodic system checks don’t take much time but can significantly reduce water loss…and your water bill.
