If you want a healthy lawn, remember these tips:
Water deep, not frequently.
Shallow watering only wets the soil and water doesn't have a chance to soak
in. This forces grass roots to grow to the surface for water, and allows
the sun to steal your water through evaporation. The recommended amount
of precipitation for lawn areas is 1/2" of water every 3 days. Lawn
experts say 1" of water is needed weekly. Remember, this is just a
basic guideline, each lawn will respond differently.
Measure your watering coverage.
Do a "can test," using coffee cans or other flat bottomed containers.
Place the containers on the lawn in various locations. Run the system for
a set period of time, and then check the contents of the cans. You should
have the same amount in all the cans. If not, adjust the time up or down,
and adjust the zones to achieve even coverage. Adjust distance of spray
on each sprinkler head.
If you don't have the time or knowledge to check the system
properly, or, to program the controller accurately, and troubleshoot the
system, DON’T do it yourself.
A yearly service contract is the best way to
make sure the system will continue to operate trouble-free.
