Fix Your Irrigation System - LESSON 6

9 Tips to Revive Your Irrigation System...and Your Garden!

• Dirt, debris and small stones that collect on the membrane can prevent the valve from closing.
• A valve that does not close at the end of the irrigation cycle causes a significant waste of water since the irrigation zone will remain open.
• The overwatered area of lawn will suffer damage and will tend to rot.
• The remaining areas of the system will have little pressure because they will be working simultaneously with an open area and consequently the jet of the sprinklers will be significantly reduced thus leaving uncovered and dry areas.
• If the valve becomes blocked during a prolonged period of absence, it will probably take several days to correct the problem.

• TORO TPV valves are extremely reliable and significantly reduce the risk of the valve remaining open.
• The self-cleaning DBS technology makes them suitable for all applications, even with dirty water.
• You will also save electricity. If you water your garden using a pressure tank or a pump that draws water from a well or a cistern, you will avoid the waste due to the operating costs of the pump left on uselessly for hours or days.

A perfect lawn depends fundamentally on a perfect irrigation system.
Therefore, perfecting your irrigation system allows you to obtain the lawn you have always wanted.

Furthermore, water is a limited natural resource.
