subject: Do You Know How To Clean Your Sprinkler Systems? [print this page] Why should you maintain the sprinkler systems? Why should you clean the system on your own? Well you can usually have an irrigation company clean the systems in your case however it will equal to a certain cost, so if you're on tighter budget I suggest you choose a do-it-yourself path.
I know, I know. This may seem very tedious and rather overwhelming but here are a few basic tips that can get the job faster and far simpler, besides this will make sure that your sprinkler systems will remain efficient and even good for years to come.
Hence let us get started? Let's maintain the sprinklers, don't simply wipe the sprinkler heads or the small parts of the inground sprinkler systems which are protruding of the ground when they are not in use.
To properly clean this, remove the sprinkler heads from the sleeve to actually clean out the debris and the dirt that is normally stuck beneath what is visible if the sprinklers are not being used.
Therefore step 1 should be to pick up the sprinkler heads, take them from the sleeves then clean them out.
Having problems cleaning the sprinkler head while they're in the ground? You might have to take them out of the system completely from the sleeve by taking the screws off. Whenever possible you can also take out the sleeve that holds the sprinkler system's head, that way you can completely clean each 2 pieces at once. You have to be sure that both parts have no dirt, grass as well as other particles.
Occasionally sprinkler system heads as well as sleeves become truly filthy and you'll have to dip them in water to remove hardened dirt and several water stains. Usually water would be enough to wash it however, if you would like or create the washing method easier you can also add mild liquid soap or even cleaning agent to the mixture and simply let it soak for a while. This usually would be ample to clean your sprinkler system so there won't be any necessity to make use of any strong or harsh chemical substances to the mixture.
On the other hand, the best thing you can try is hot water. It provides amazing results in getting rid of those hard to eliminate dirt, grass, and stains along with other debris which has built up on your sprinkler system. Once you've carried this out you'd be really grateful. You'll observe a rise in the speed, the water supply and basically the performance of your whole sprinkler system.
Right after cleaning your head verifies that all of them are working. If a part of the sprinkler systems head isn't in working order you'll need to remove it because it is most likely that there's one more thing inducing the problem. Try to clean out the whole connection and when it still does not work, try purchasing a new head then try again.
Remember one broken head shouldn't lead you to alter the whole system.
