| Abstract/Contents: | Details the process for irrigation intialization in the spring, stating that "first, it is always worthwhile to physically inspect your pump station for obvious mechanical damage...[and] the second item of concern for the start-up procedure pertains to the frost level in the ground." Recommends that all "outlets are manually set to the open position" and then "make either mental or written notes with regards to which sprinklers require further operation" after turning on the water. Concludes that "a little extra time and effort for this procedure will result in less expenditure, less downtime and fewer headaches, while also preserving the integrity of your irrigation system for long-term use." |
