Some Quick Fixes For Your Irrigation System
For your lawn to remain green all through the year, it is necessary to
get a good irrigation system installed. You may decide to depend on
nature for rainfall but this may disappoint you and before you know
it, your entire garden that you spent a lot on has turned yellowish.
However, by installing an automatic system, you can be able to avoid
this. There are different types of irrigation and Grease Arrestor
systems that can give you best results.
That said there is no guarantee that because you have a good
sprinkler system installed you will not need repairs. Sometimes,
even the best system will break down and you may need to call in
reticulation and Grease Trap services to come and help. However,
before calling professional, it may be better to check that the issue
with the system is not something you can handle. Unknown to most
homeowners, it is possible for them to handle most of the problems
that occur with their system. While you may not need expertise level
skills to be able to correct issues with your system, you may still
need a multi-meter to be able to detect the problem. Some issues
that may occur with your system are discussed below and possible
quick fixes suggested.
Faulty sprinkler head
To identify issues with sprinkler heads is not very difficult. You just
need to look out for broken or cracked heads. Another indicator is
places where water no longer sprays normally or where water has
completely stopped flowing. The simplest fix for this type of
problem is to get the head replaced. This may require digging
around the head to expose the riser. You can also get assistance
from Grease Interceptor for most favorable results. If you decide to
do this repair yourself, make sure to call the company that installed
the system so you can be sure where the lines are. If the problem is
that the heads are blocked, simply clean the head and replace it.
Low pressure issues
If the sprinkler is spraying low volumes or some parts are not
spraying at all, what you should be looking or is the pressure at the
valve. Check that the valves are fully open. If the valves are already
opened, you may have to replace valve. If there is a leaks, locate it
and seal it. If this does not work, replace the valve. Another cause of
low pressure may be that the pipes are crushed. If they are locate
them and fix accordingly. You should try your hands at Fat and Oil
Removal which is very useful for your procedures.
Problem with zoning
Most systems are divided into different zones. Each zone designed
to be controlled by an electric valve. Any zone that is not functioning
properly may be as a result of an electrical problem. If all the
electrical connects are correctly connected, you should test the
voltage in the zone that is not working to see if it falls within the
required range.
