IRRIGATION

Don't follow a rigid irrigation schedule yet. Now's the time to check your irrgation system and get it ready to operate at its maximum efficiency. Is the clock running correctly? Are the sprinkler heads clean and free of debris? Do they reach their target areas? Check valves for leaks.


FOLLOW THIS SCHEDULE ONLY IF MARCH DOESNT BRING RAIN:
Water Lawns if 10 days pass without any rain.
Water Landscape if 15 days pass without any rain.

  • Run Pop-ups for 18 min. (3, 6 min. intervals), 1:00 a.m. 3:00 a.m.5:00 a.m., as needed.
  • Run Impacts and Single Stream Rotors for 24 min. (3, 8 min. intervals), 1:00 a.m. 3:00 a.m. 5:00 a.m., as needed
  • Run Mult Stream Rotors for 36 min. (3,12 min. intervals), 1:00 a.m. 3:00 a.m. 500 a.m., as needed.
  • Run Drip emitters for 45 min. (3,15 min. intervals), 1:00 a.m. 3:00 a.m. 5:00 a.m., as needed.
  • Use the garden hose, if possible, to water potted plants and all other plants underneath the eaves.
  • Running times apply to Lawn & Landscape
