What is Irrigation Auditing?
Irrigation Auditing is a series of tests that evaluate the irrigation system. It searches for any defects the system may have. Using the information retrieved from the audit we can help formulate a proper watering schedule for your system to give adequate water to your landscape. Our technicians are certified by the Irrigation Association, they are available to perform this water and money saving audit.

 

What steps are taken to audit an irrigation system?

  • Turn on system
  • Flag heads
  • Measure spacing and mark mid points between heads
  • Place water measuring receptacles
  • Take readings
  • Measure head pressure
  • Advance zone by zone



The testing points out deficiencies in the system:

  • Pressure problems.
  • Inadequate head spacing.
  • Insufficient water supply.
  • Defective system components.


How do you audit an irrigation system?

  • Systems tune up – This consists of checking the sprinkler heads for the proper height, making sure they are properly adjusted, the nozzles are properly calibrated and installed, and that the heads work in a predictable manner. All the lines are revised and inspected for being crushed or severed.
  • Calculate correct run times, station by station. (Zone by zone.)
  • Develop the water schedules based on weather.
  • Fine Tune the watering schedule


The benefits of auditing your irrigation system:

  • It allows for precise fine tuning of the system
  • Saves money
  • Conserves water
  • Protects and saves your lawn from over or under watering.
  • Improves your landscape.
  • Less fertilizer and chemicals required.
