| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the irrigation system operation and maintenance practices that should be carried out to optimise water usage. Suggests checking automatic controller settings on a regular basis, suggesting that managers "check controller time settings after a power outage." Presents tips for checking sprinker systems. Also suggests regularly checking control valves and filters, stating that managers should "ensure filters are not blocked and thereby causing incorrect downstream pressures; and consider installing automatic self flushing filters." |
