Quick answer: A useful spring irrigation check includes restoring water carefully, testing every zone, inspecting heads and nozzles, checking for leaks, confirming valves close properly, testing the controller and sensors, and adjusting coverage before regular watering begins.
Spring checklist
- Inspect visible irrigation components before startup
- Restore the irrigation water supply carefully
- Run each zone independently
- Look for broken, tilted or buried sprinkler heads
- Watch for weak pressure or underground leaks
- Confirm each zone turns off completely
- Check controller date, time and watering schedule
- Verify rain-sensor or weather-control operation
- Adjust spray around new plant growth and landscape changes
Why every zone should be tested
A controller can complete a program even when an individual valve, wire or sprinkler has failed. Visual zone-by-zone inspection catches problems before they become dry spots or water waste.
