Irrigation knowledge
How a sprinkler system actually works
Eight visual guides. What to check on the lawn before you change the timer.
26 Sep 2026 · Water pressure
Why pressure makes or breaks a sprinkler system
Too little and the water never arrives. Too much and it turns to mist.
27 Sep 2026 · Winterization
Why GTA sprinkler lines need a fall blow-out
Water left in the pipe expands when it freezes. That is the break.
28 Sep 2026 · Spring start-up
What a proper spring open actually checks
Turning the water on is the last step, not the first.
29 Sep 2026 · Head types
Spray, rotor, or drip: why the head decides the zone
Mix them on one valve and one type will always lose.
30 Sep 2026 · Dry spots
Why one patch stays brown when the rest is green
A dry ring is a pattern. Read it before you add minutes.
1 Oct 2026 · Watering time
How long to run a zone, and why more minutes come last
The clock cannot fix a head that never reaches.
5 Oct 2026 · Rain sensors
Why the system waters in the rain, and how a sensor clicks it off
The clock does not look outside. A rain skip is a switch.
6 Oct 2026 · Valve manifolds
What a valve manifold does under the lawn, and why one zone sticks
The clock only sends voltage. The valve in the box opens the water.
