What are Some Common Lawn Sprinkler Systems Problems?



When it comes to lawn sprinkler systems, things can get confusing pretty easily. There are so many different parts to keep track of, and if one part of the system is not working properly, it can affect the rest of the system and cause the whole thing to stop working. We are a Minneapolis lawn sprinkler systems company, and here are a few of the most common problems we encounter when checking on and troubleshooting these systems.

Shrubs and planter beds should be watered separately from the other grassy areas of your yard. Shrubs and other similar plants will usually have a larger root system than the grass in your yard. Putting them on separate lawn sprinkler systems will help to make sure that each part of your yard is being watered equally and that one part is not getting more water than the other.

The proper spray nozzle can make a huge difference in how lawn sprinkler systems function. Making sure the right one is spraying the right part of your yard can be confusing. That is why you should call in professionals like us! We can make sure your system is using the right kind of nozzles and that they are spraying in the correct pattern so your yard is getting plenty of water. 

Another thing to consider is your rain shut-off valve. This piece helps tell your system if it has rained or is raining so your system does not turn on and over-water your yard. Not only will this keep your yard from being over-watered, it will also help conserve water and could possibly help you save money on your water bill in the long run!
