LAWN SPRINKLER TURN OFF SERVICE IS MORE THAN JUST THE BACK FLOW
PREVENTION DEVICE, AND SETTING THE CONTROLLER.
IF YOU HAVE A QUALITY UNDER
GROUND SPRINKLER COMPANY DOING YOUR SERVICE THEY SHOULD:
- REINSTALL THE RPZ , TURN OFF THE WATER, WAIT UNTIL IT STOPS, CHECK THE METER TO SEE IF IT IS STILL
TURNING, IF IT IS THERE IS A LEAK SOMEWHERE. IT MUST BE FOUND AND REPAIRED.
ANY LEAK AT THIS POINT IS 24 HOURS A DAY AND WILL ADD UP TO A LOT OF MONEY
AND A MUD PIT.
- CHECK EACH ZONE IN THE
SYSTEM HEAD BY HEAD, REPLACE, OR ADJUST EACH HEAD AS THEY GO, RAISE OR MOVE
ANY HEADS THAT ARE BLOCKED BY OVER GROWN PLANTS, OR TREES. THIS MAY BE
NECESSARY DUE TO PLANTS MATURING OR LANDSCAPE CHANGES.
- CHECK FOR PRESSURE
DIFFERENTIALS, THEY CAN OFTEN BE FROM A POORLY DESIGNED SYSTEM (TOO MANY
HEADS ON A ZONE), OR A LEAK, IN EITHER CASE THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE RESOLVED.
LEAKS AT THIS POINT ARE ONLY WHILE THE SYSTEM IS RUNNING. THEY ARE MUCH
HARDER TO FIND. YOU MUST BE ABLE TO SEE SLIGHT DIFFERENCES IN ZONE
PERFORMANCE TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY A SMALL LEAK SITUATION.
- EACH VALVE IN EACH VALVE
BOX SHOULD BE INSPECTED WHILE IT IS RUNNING, OFTEN VALVES WONT LEAK UNTIL
THEY ARE TURNED ON.
- R P Z SHOULD BE INSPECTED
AND CERTIFIED BY A LICENSED PLUMBER WHO HAS R P Z CERTIFICATION IN HIS
CREDENTIALS. HE SHOULD SEND PAPER WORK TO THE CITY, AND THE STATE.
- THEY SHOULD RUN AN OHM
TESTER ON EACH ZONE, TO CHECK FOR FAULTY SOLENOIDS, OR SOON TO BE FAULTY
SOLENOIDS, AND REPLACE ALL THAT ARE SUSPICIOUS.
- THEY SHOULD CHECK THE RAIN
SENSOR, AND SET A PROGRAM THAT WILL SUIT THE PROPERTIES NEEDS.
- FINALLY THEY SHOULD STAND
BEHIND THE WORK THEY HAVE DONE
I HAVE SEEN MANY LAWN SPRINKLER COMPANIES THAT ONLY DO HALF OF THE THINGS ON
THIS LIST. THEY ARE CHEATING THEIR CUSTOMERS. THE ONE COMPANY THAT I WOULD
RECOMMEND IS ALLSCAPE INC.
