Some Helpful Tips

How often should I mow my lawn?

Don’t cut the grass below 2-1/2 inches. Grass that’s too short is more susceptible to turning brown.

How much electricity will the system use?

A typical irrigation system uses electricity to power the controller (timer) which turns the valves on and off. Some systems also use electricity to power a pump. A typical residential controller uses about 0.5 Kwh a day. 

Do you adjust my sprinkler cycle if we have a lot of rain?

Programmable sprinklers run through their cycle regardless of the rainfall. Too much watering can lead to fungal lawn disease and wilting grass.
