Maintenance is important to ensure the system continually runs smooth. The most important service is the Fall Turn Off and the Spring Turn On. In the fall we will blow all the water out of the system to eliminate the risk of freezing pipes over the winter months. We also remove any pieces that have the risk of freezing and cracking. In the spring we come back out and hook the system back up and get it turned on. We also make sure no equipment or parts were damaged over the winter. Finally, we make sure that the system has overlapping coverage and all rotors and spray heads are aimed correctly. Please check out our service section for details on our Annual Service Agreement.

We can work off almost any well. There are many pros and cons with using well water. Every well is different, and we do need a well report to determine, at a minimum, how much water is available. Most of our residential irrigation systems are designed to use about 8-10 gallons per minute. If your well has a recovery rate of less than 10 gallons per minute we can design a system to use less water by using less heads per zone or using lower volume type heads. We can also program systems to run shorter time lengths and then use a time delay between watering zones to allow the well to recover. One of the biggest benefits of using well water is that there is no water bill associated with your water use. Also, a lot of the minerals in the well water are beneficial for the lawn and garden. Using well water does bring its challenges, though. Many of the pumps that are used for homes are on the smaller side and pump less water. The pressure tanks can use pressure switches that run at the lower end of what is required to have an irrigation system. We can recommend upgrading to a constant pressure pump or installing a booster to help with this. Another challenge can be the sediment and/or iron count in your well, which can lead to future maintenance challenges like clogged or stuck valves. We recommend upgrading to dirty water type valves and or a type of filter for a solution if this becomes a problem.
