Spring Sprinkler Start Up in Kansas City

Spring Sprinkler Start Up in Kansas City

Are you starting up your sprinkler for the first time this year? There are a lot of different things that you will need to check when you start up your irrigation system!

Here are some simple guidelines:

First of all, when doing your spring sprinkler start up in Kansas City, you will want to turn the water on. While you turn on the water, it is important to turn it on slowly, because if you turn it on too fast the PVC out side may break! Also, if the water meter is near by, check to see if your water meter is running after you have turned on the water. Look at your meter.  If your water meter is showing the water running but your system is not, then you may have a leak!  Have a leak?  Be sure to contact R & S Lawn and Sprinkler at 816-532-4999 to get one of our sprinkler techs out to get that repaired for you!
