The Most Common Cause for Sprinkler Failure and How to Prevent It
Most people never give their sprinklers a second thought, however, these unsung heroes are the main reason your lawn remains healthy. And because of this, many often miss the signs that their sprinkler system is not performing as it once did, or in some cases, fails completely. This is where our TLC Irrigation sprinkler repair company usually comes into the picture.
We want to help you maintain your lawn, which is why we made this list of some of the most common issues that you may come across with your system and a few tips on how you can diagnose these issues.
A Faulty Sprinkler Controller
This is probably the most important component found in a sprinkler system, as it controls all the functions we have listed below:
-
Activates and deactivates the system
-
Controls how effectively the system covers your space
-
It is responsible for allocating the right amount of water
-
It activates all mechanisms to ensure consistent operations
With this in mind, it is obvious why you need to keep an eye on it. However, how do you know when it is almost at the end of its lifespan? Consistency, or lack of, is the biggest clue, so if you notice your system isn’t coming on at the set times, is remaining active for too long, or is no longer capable of working in automatic mode, there is a good chance that you have a faulty controller.
Water is Leaking From One or Multiple Zones
Leaks are a sure sign for any piece of hardware that deals with water. This fact is especially true for sprinklers, and leaving leaks unchecked will end up costing you a great deal of money with regard to your water bill.
