Spring Sprinkler System Startup In Michigan

It is time to startup your Michigan sprinklers system. You tried to startup your sprinkler system yourself but nothing works? Did you damage your system? Starting up your lawn sprinkler system is more than just turning a valve in your basement and turning on your controller. There are a few steps you must follow before you turn on your Michigan sprinkler system that will protect it from immediate and expensive damage.

The biggest problem you have to worry about during your Michigan sprinkler system start-up, is water hammer. You may have heard your pipes banging during startups in the past but this noise is BAD. This Hammering noise is made by a surge of air pressure caused by the rush of water suddenly flowing into an empty pipe, giving the air in the pipe no time to escape. This pressure can separate fittings and cause sprinkler heads to pop out of the ground. Take your time and remember that the water has to travel the entire length of the main line. Once the main line is filled, all the section lines (zones) need to be filled, slowly.

When a trained sprinkler system technician comes to your home or business to startup your Michigan lawn sprinkler system for the season, they will take their time and make sure that the system is re-pressurized slowly to prevent any damage from occurring to the sprinkler system and the pipes within your home or business. They will also perform a series of additional checks to assure that the system has been correctly started for the season and that all of the various components that go into your sprinkler system work as they should to provide you with all of the convenience that your Michigan sprinkler system has to offer you.

Eager for the lawn growing season to begin? Many people are and as a result they may startup their sprinkler system too early. As we all know, Michigans weather can be fickle. Freezes may occur that cause undesirable consequences for your lawn sprinkler system in Michigan. If you startup your lawn sprinkler system and a hard freeze hits, it can cause expensive damage to your system. Damages may affect your sprinkler lines, electric valves and your backflow preventer.

Once you have filled the sprinkler lines to begin your sprinkler system startup, you will manually run through the sprinkler controller, checking each zone for coverage and operation issues. Manual operation of electric valves differs from manufacturer to manufacturer, so read the product literature for instructions on how to manually operate the valve.

After the entire sprinkler system is pressurized and you have performed the manual operational checks, run through each zone on the sprinkler controller. Running through the controller electrically helps get rid of any remaining trapped air in the system as well as tests the electrical operation of the system. If everything functions correctly, then your Michigan sprinkler system has been successfully started for the season. If you encounter any problem areas, you will need to troubleshoot to determine what is causing a problem and address that particular situation.
