Although most municipalities require rain sensors, most systems either don’t have one installed or don’t receive the necessary maintenance to ensure the device is working properly. If the sensor is older than five years, consider replacing it. If your system doesn’t have a sensor, get in touch with our team of lawn irrigation professionals.

Human error – Many clients get confused by the Start Time functionality and accidentally program multiple start times, which forces the system to continually restart its program.

Failed valve(s) – A zone valve may be worn out or have debris caught in it, allowing water to continually run through it. We recommend that you flush the valve or replace it if to ensure efficiency and function. It may be beneficial to consider installing a master valve on the system, which only allows it to charge when it’s supposed to run and therefore limits the amount of time that the failed valve can continue to water.

Not only is watering the street or driveway wasteful, but it can lead to asphalt or concrete damage. It’s common that rotor and spray heads can move over time during the freeze/thaw cycle. Simply adjust the head, which may require a key. If the head is damaged or unable to be adjusted, be sure to replace it right away. Conserva Irrigation can easily adjust or replace sprinkler heads for you if necessary.

Your sprinkler heads may need adjustments. They may also be clogged with debris. Fortunately, we have all the tools necessary to ensure your system functions optimally so you can maintain your beautiful lawn.

A soft or wet spot in your yard is often an indicator of a system leak. It may be a lateral (zone) line that’s leaking or damaged. If you’re experiencing leaks when your system isn’t running, it may be due to a leak in the main line. We highly recommend having your professional service provider diagnose and resolve the leak before your landscape is significantly damaged. You can turn the water supply to your system off until Conserva Irrigation arrives on site. A leaking or damaged head may also be the culprit of wet spots in your yard. Our sprinkler repair team can easily resolve any issues with your damaged sprinkler heads.

There are many different types of controllers on the market today. Reference the manufacturer’s manual, if it’s available. If not, many manuals are found online in a PDF format and can be downloaded for your convenience. Conserva Irrigation is also trained to program most controllers, and can show you how to make the necessary changes. If the controller is outdated, consider updating it with a Smart Controller that’s far more efficient and often times more intuitive than older technology.
