Spring Start Up

A lawn Sprinkler turn on is the "opening" of your lawn sprinkler irrigation system after it was shut down for the winter months. A spring start up performed by ELSPS is usually done throughout the month of April. It is recommended that your system start PRIOR to having any landscaping and/or planting installed to ensure that your grass, shrubs and flowers receive water immediately after planting.

A typical Spring Start-up by Elite Lawn Sprinklers, Pools & Spas may include:

*Reassembly and mandatory yearly visual inspection of back-flow prevention device

*Closing of system drain valves

*Reopen shut off valves to system, checking for any visible leaks

*Make any necessary head adjustments

*Program timer according to current season

*Visually check for leaks

*Check rain sensor (if applicable)

*Test system electronically

*Check each individual zone for leaks, broken heads, line restrictions and make necessary adjustments

*Set controller as needed for current conditions

*To ensure proper start up of your irrigation system, any missing or damaged parts will be replaced at our technician’s discretion (part(s) and repair fees apply)

Winterization

An irrigation drain down or winterization completed by ELSPS in the fall or early winter- October through November. It is important to drain your irrigation system before the cold weather and freezing temperatures occur, to reduce the risk of damage to your lawn sprinkler system’s components and piping. If water freezes in the sprinkler lines or backflow, it can cause the irrigation lines to break or the backflow to crack.

*Close down all water sources to irrigation system

*Via air compressor remove water from all mains, laterals, heads and valves.

*Disassemble backflow preventer as per manufacturer specifications

*Turn controller off

*To ensure proper winterization of your irrigation system, any missing or damaged parts will be replaced at our technician’s discretion and customer shall be charged for the cost of the part(s) and repair.
