💧 DAILY IRRIGATION TIP – WATER PRESSURE MATTERS MORE THAN YOU THINK 💧 One of the most common mistakes homeowners make is assuming all irrigation problems are caused by bad sprinkler heads. The truth? Many sprinkler problems are actually pressure problems. ✅ Heads not popping up all the way ✅ Dry spots in the lawn ✅ Mist instead of streams ✅ Uneven coverage ✅ Excessive water runoff All of these can be symptoms of pressure issues. As a general rule: • Spray heads perform best around 30 PSI • MP Rotators perform best around 40 PSI • Rotor heads typically perform best around 45 PSI Too little pressure and the sprinklers won't perform correctly. Too much pressure and you'll create misting, overspray, wasted water, and premature system wear. Before replacing sprinkler heads, always ask: "Is the pressure correct for this zone?" A simple pressure test can save hours of frustration and hundreds of dollars in unnecessary repairs. 🔧 Pro Tip: If your system pressure exceeds 80 PSI, a pressure regulating valve (PRV) should be considered to protect both your irrigation system and plumbing system.

💧 Daily Irrigation Tip: Don't Ignore High Water Pressure One of the most overlooked causes of irrigation system failure is excessive water pressure. Many homeowners assume more pressure equals better performance. In reality, pressure that is too high can: ✅ Blow sprinkler seals✅ Cause misting and overspray✅ Shorten valve life✅ Increase water waste✅ Create hidden leaks underground Most residential irrigation systems perform best between 30–60 PSI depending on the sprinkler type and design. A quick pressure check today could save you hundreds of dollars in repairs tomorrow. Pro Technician Tip: If your sprinklers look like a cloud of fog instead of distinct streams of water, don't automatically replace the heads. Check the pressure first.

Daily Irrigation Tip: The Hidden Leak Test One of the most expensive irrigation problems is also one of the hardest to see. A hidden mainline leak can waste hundreds or even thousands of gallons of water before it becomes obvious. Quick Test: 1. Make sure all irrigation zones are OFF. 2. Check your water meter. 3. Write down the meter reading. 4. Wait 30–60 minutes without using any water. 5. Check the meter again. If the meter moved, water is going somewhere. Common culprits include: ✅ Underground mainline leaks ✅ Stuck irrigation valves ✅ Broken valve diaphragms ✅ Leaking backflow devices ✅ Cracked fittings underground Field Technician Tip: If you hear water moving through pipes when no zones are running, don't ignore it. That's one of the biggest warning signs of a hidden leak. Finding the problem early can save a significant repair bill and prevent landscape damage. Have you ever discovered a hidden irrigation leak?

Randomly break
Most irrigation systems don’t “randomly break.”They leave clues long before total failure. Low pressure.Misting heads.One wet spot.A valve buzzing.Zones overlapping.Pump cycling.Controller errors. The difference between a parts changer and a true irrigation technician is diagnostics. Anybody can replace a sprinkler head.Not everybody can identify WHY the head failed in the first place. That’s what this community is about: ✅ Real troubleshooting✅ Real hydraulic thinking✅ Real field experience✅ Real repair strategy QUESTION OF THE DAY: What’s the strangest irrigation problem you’ve ever encountered? Could be: • Electrical• Hydraulic• Pipe failure• Pumps• Wells• Controllers• “Customer-installed engineering” 😂 Drop photos if you’ve got them. Let’s break it down together. 💧 Georgia Irrigation Repair💧 FixMyIrrigation.com“Keeping Georgia Green”
