Seasonal Maintenance Tips
Not sure if your system needs attention? Here's how to tell across every season.
🌱 Spring
After your system is started up, walk every zone while it runs. Look for heads that aren't popping up fully, uneven spray patterns, or puddles forming near valve boxes. A soggy area after a dry week is a red flag for an underground leak. If zones are slow to pressurize or heads dribble when the system is off, it's time for a tune-up.
☀️ Summer
Brown or dry patches that don't respond to watering often mean a clogged nozzle, a tilted head, or a blocked drip emitter — not just lack of rain. Check your controller schedule after any power outage, as timers often reset to factory defaults. High water bills in summer are a common sign of a slow underground leak or a zone running too long.
🍂 Fall
Before temperatures drop, inspect your backflow preventer for cracks or drips. Make sure all zone valves close fully — a valve stuck open will keep water in the lines and risk freeze damage. Schedule your winterization blowout before the first hard freeze (typically late September to late October in the Parker area).
❄️ Winter
If your system was properly winterized, you shouldn't see any activity. However, if you notice a wet spot in your yard during a dry stretch, or hear water running near your meter, a line may not have fully drained. Contact a pro before spring to assess any damage before start-up season.
