Maintenance Tips for Sprinkler Systems

1. Make it a habit to inspect your sprinkler system regularly. Look for unusual wet areas or dry areas. Turn on each zone manually to make sure sprinkler heads are operating properly and adjust if necessary.
2. Check for broken sprinkler risers. A broken or cracked riser can cause a geyser (water shooting up like a fountain) or puddling (water welling up around the sprinkler). Replace these components as soon as possible.
3. Check and repair leaks at the sprinkler head.
4. Check for filters or nozzles clogged with debris. These cause poor coverage.
5. Replace noisy pop-up impact sprinkler heads, or heads that are not popping up high enough.
