Water Management

Troubleshooting

How often should my sprinklers come on?

Your ET Manager uses real-time weather information to

determine when watering is needed. Your sprinkler sys-

tem may water more frequently in the summer months,

and less frequently in the spring and fall months since

watering is now based on weather (which affects how

much water evaporates from your soil). Your ET

Manager automatically adjusts throughout the year to

keep the Moisture Levels in your soil reservoir at an

optimum level for the health of your plants.

Evaluate your landscape.

Before making any adjustments to the settings of either

your ET Manager or your automatic sprinkler con-

troller, make sure that the entire sprinkler system is in

good working order. It is important to be certain that

there are no broken sprinkler heads or broken pipes

affecting the performance of your system. Landscapes

and automated sprinkler systems are subject to imper-

fections that can be corrected. You may need to con-

tact your landscape installer or sprinkler profes-

sional.

1. Perform a walk through evaluation inspecting

your sprinkler system while each zone is run-

ning.

2. If problems in the sprinkler system are detect-

ed, please fix the problems or call sprinkler

professionals to assist you.

Are there dry or wet spots in your

landscape?

Dry and wet spots are often caused by problems with

your sprinkler system or the program in your sprinkler

controller. Spots within a station are areas where the

plant life is not uniform with the rest of the landscape

in the station, and these “spots” are either too dry or

too wet.

1. Check the sprinkler heads near the spot that is

dry or wet. It is possible that a broken head or

nozzle, or a clogged nozzle needs to be

replaced.

2. Check the layout of your sprinkler design.

Proper sprinkler designs should ensure head to

head coverage. Changing a nozzle size, adding

or moving a head may improve distribution

coverage.

3. If steps 1 and 2 do not solve the problem,

check the run times on your sprinkler con-

troller. Adding additional run time for the sta-

tion where the spot appears may compensate

for minor sprinkler system inefficiencies.

Note: Adjust the run time using small intervals of time.

Monitor the spots after an adjustment has been made.

This will help determine what run time is optimal to

prevent dry or wet spots.

Specific stations within the Valve Group

are too dry or too wet.

Stations are the distinct areas in your landscape

watered by one valve in Valve Group A or B. Dry or wet

stations are often caused by a run time problem pro-

grammed in your sprinkler controller.

1. Check the run time on your sprinkler controller

for this station. The dry or wet station can be

caused by too little or too much watering time

for that station.

2. Manually water the station if it is too dry to get

it the water it needs.
