And, since it’s been a long and cold winter, we thought you might need a hand with getting your irrigation system back in the game, so we gathered a few useful tips to get you started. Continue reading our article and prepare yourself for happy gardening!
Wait until Spring has Sprung!
Before you begin your regular spring watering chores, we advise you to check your soil and see if winter left it to breathe. The best way to make sure your garden is ready for the work, is to dig a one-foot hole and check if your shovel hits the frozen ground. If it does, we recommend you wait a few more weeks before testing it again. Our advice is not to try staring at your sprinkler while the ground is still frozen since, while the sprinkler system is being fired up, it could cause a break in the water lines.
If your irrigation system needs an update, the Carpathen Garden Sprinkler 360 Rotating is a fantastic option! Made of premium materials, easy to use, and fast to install, in just three easy steps, this tool will give your yard maximum and even water coverage, making lawn watering less of a chore.
Check the Sprinkler Supplies
We like being prepared, and we believe you should also be, especially if you don’t want to stop in the middle of your chores to go shopping for supplies. Whether we are talking about risers, sprinkler heads, tubes, or nozzles, make sure you have an entire collection of spare irrigation part’ fittings on hand, just in case. You never know when something will need a replacement, do you?
Though it might be strange, we also believe you should add some poly pipe or extra PVC, and, why not cement, on the first gardening shopping list. We believe it’s always better to have these and not need them than need them but not have them. Last but not least, in case you are using automatic controllers, don’t forget to replace the used batteries and preserve your timer settings.
Fill the Pipes
If the soil is not frozen, you checked your sprinkler, gathered supplies, and are ready to start gardening, it's time to start filling the pipes. Begin opening the main water valve, allowing the tubes to fill with water gradually. Be sure not to open too quickly unless you want to subject the sprinkler to uncontrolled water flow and high-pressure surges, leading to cracking.
Then, verify if the whole system is operating correctly. Make sure there are no leaks and check if the sprinkler heads are rotating properly, covering all the areas of your lawn. Adjust the heads as needed and look at the filters if the sprinkler is performing poorly.
You Don’t Have a Sprinkler? Get One!
