As spring arrives on Long Island, it’s time to start thinking about sprinkler opening—the essential first step in getting your in-ground irrigation system up and running for the warmer months ahead. While it might seem like a straightforward task, there’s a lot more to a professional sprinkler opening than simply turning on the water. At Water Design, we take the time to do it right, ensuring your lawn stays healthy, your system runs efficiently, and you avoid costly repairs later on.
Here’s what actually goes into a proper sprinkler opening and why choosing a quality company like Water Design makes all the difference.
The Right Way to Open a Sprinkler System
A professional sprinkler opening is a multi-step process that protects your system and prepares it for peak performance all season long. Our technicians at Water Design perform a full inspection of your system to ensure everything is functioning properly and identify any winter damage before it becomes a problem.
Here’s what we do:
- Slow and Safe Pressurization: We slowly turn on the water to avoid shocking your system with a sudden surge of pressure. A rushed or improper pressurization can blow fittings or crack pipes.
- Zone-by-Zone Testing: Each sprinkler zone is activated and tested to ensure full coverage, proper pressure, and functional heads.
- Sprinkler Head Adjustments: We realign any misdirected heads to avoid watering your driveway, sidewalk, or house, and we clear any clogs or obstructions.
- Controller Check: We program your sprinkler controller based on the current season’s needs, optimizing watering times and ensuring compliance with any local watering restrictions.
- Backflow Device Inspection: If required, we inspect your backflow prevention device to protect your home’s drinking water from contamination.
