Answer: Although rain sensors are the law in Florida, many systems either don't have one installed or don't receive the necessary maintenance to ensure the device is working properly. Sensors have 5-10 years of life and should be checked regularly. If your system doesn't have a sensor, get in touch with our team of professionals, and we can offer pricing and regular maintenance.

Answers: 

Human error - Many clients get confused by the Start Time functionality and accidentally program multiple start times, which forces the system to continually restart its program.

Failed valve(s) - A zone valve may be worn out or have debris caught in it, allowing water to continually run through it. We recommend that you flush the valve or replace it to ensure proper functionality. It may be beneficial to consider installing a master valve on the system, which will save you a lot of water and headaches when a valve fails.

Answer: There are numerous ways to save water on your irrigation system. Properly installed and programmed SMART Systems could save you 50% or more on your water use. Moisture Management (such as HydroDrop) is GUARANTEED to cut your irrigation water use by 50% of the norm. A simple rain sensor saves an average of 50,000 gallons of water per year when installed correctly.

Answer: Many rain sensors work off of a cheap battery and many times they get overlooked. Put it in your calendar to replace every January or sign up for one of our maintenance plans and this and more will be on our radar so you don't have to worry about it.

Answer: Besides added warranty, priority scheduling, and top tier pricing, there are many benefits to having a maintenance plan... Heads WILL go out of alignment and need to be adjusted regularly. The timing of the water as well as the output will need to be adjusted with the seasons. Sensors need to be checked on and cleaned. Batteries need to be replaced. Ordinances need to be followed. With a maintenance plan, you would be on our radar for all of this.
