A mismanaged or broken sprinkler system can do more damage than you might know.

Water sprinkler systems are very common in water-thirsty areas. However, sprinklers can be easily misused by watering the wrong types of surfaces or leaving sprinklers running too long. If you use sprinkler systems, here are some useful tips to save water with a sprinkler system. If you are looking to automate this system give Sprinkler Master a call today to have a professional install and configure your sprinkler system.
Can my Broken Sprinkler be Wasting Water?
Water in the Morning
This is when less water can evaporate and there is less wind so it will not carry away the sprinkler's spray as much. This lets the water get deeper into the earth which helps it reach all the way down to the plant’s roots. Letting you water less often and save even more water.
Use sprinklers that adapt to weather conditions
Make sure your sprinklers use only the amount of water needed for precipitation--just enough to get through all the grass blades and into its root zone (the area where it absorbs moisture). Call us today to set up your Spring startup to give your lawn the best chance this summer.
Water until runoff occurs
To know if sprinklers are wasting water, circle the sprinkler zone with a sprinkler can or use a hose to see how much water is landing on the turf beyond the zone being watered. If you don't have enough time to test, run the sprinkler zone for about one hour. Or better yet call us to install a smart timer today.

Do I Need to Turn Off my Sprinkler When It Rains?
If sprinklers don't turn off automatically, manually shut them down before it starts raining so that they do not continue watering and causing runoff into streets or gutters which will lead to sprinkler system malfunctions. We can install a smart timer for you which would automatically shut off when the rain starts to fall, saving you the hassle, and worry of flooding. Not to mention they regulate how often to run your sprinklers for you.
Use Sprinklers Only When Necessary
Water your lawn so that it can stand up to weather conditions and survive without needing supplemental watering while you're away on vacation or the weekend. Consider letting the grass grow a little higher so that it can conserve water and thrive with less watering. Did you know that letting the Sprinkler Master Pros do a check-up on your system ensures you aren't unnecessarily watering?
Do I Want my Sprinklers to Mist or Spray?
They emit larger drops so they don't evaporate as quickly, meaning more moisture stays around long enough to soak into grassroots instead of disappearing into thin air.
