Proper Watering Habits is the First step in Conditioning the Turf to Produce Deep Growing Roots and a Dense Grass Foundation. The System should providing a deep watering enough to wet the root zone. Usually 3/4 to about 1 inch to encourage development of strong deep root system. The next watering period should be when signs or wilt or turf stress is notice, if you walk across the turf and it lies down. This may relate too 2-3 deep watering times per week during the Hot Summer months while during the Cooler Winter months only a single 1" weekly watering is necessary. Try to set the timer to water just after sun up and observe any state or local watering restrictions. Call for a Free Consultation.
Florida Irrigation Systems require monthly inspections during the Growing Season. Many customers turn their system off in November and forget to turn it back on until the damage is done. Check your system no later than April 1st.
With a large variety of manufactures of replacement parts available, most home-owners go to Home Depot, Lowes or Ace for supplies, also don't forget PVC Supply House off Fortenberry in Merritt Island. This is OK, we like to use TORO 570 replacement heads or HUNTER.
Most of our Florida Systems start with a Shallow Well, City Water, Retention pond or Reclaimed water as a source of water.
Next comes the Pump which is controlled by the Timer, after the Timer is a Control Valve which switches between the Zone. A typical home will have at least 4 zones upwards to 8, even more on larger or complex yard layouts.
Our Timers are either Mechanical or Digital. Rain bird is a common Timer
