Preparing Your Drip Watering System for Spring


5 Steps for getting your drip watering system ready for spring.

Winter may seem a little early to begin preparing your drip watering system for the upcoming spring season, but it’s not. It’s a good idea to take the time during the winter months to evaluate your system’s needs.

Here are five steps for preparing your drip watering system for spring use:


1. Check the controls:
Clean off the irrigation controller, dust away any debris or cobwebs. Check the settings to make sure they are set for the appropriate time.


2. Check the battery:
Replace the back-up battery in the controller.


3. Check for debris:
Check the tubing and heads for any debris that may block the flow of water.


4. Flush out the system:
Flush the tubing out to remove any dirt, or other debris that may have settled into the tubing.


5. Replace damaged parts:
Inspect the system for cracked or damaged parts. If there are damaged parts, replace them.
