Irrigation Atlanta

I'm very proud of my guys and how they worked through the rain yesterday. They weren't able to finish the new irrigation system installation because of the storms yesterday afternoon but they all hung in to get as much done as possible. Our guys' dedication and experience shines at times like this when it comes to irrigation in atlanta.

Irrigation Repair Atlanta

Today's topic....BACKFLOW PREVENTION....the State of Georgia requires backflow prevention in order to keep irrigation water from backing up into drinking water. When an irrigation company comes out to repair your system ask them to check to see if you have backflow prevention and to see if it appears to be working properly.

New Irrigation Products

We have begun testing several new and exciting irrigation products ranging from controllers to heads to sensors. As always, we test everything first before we offer it to you, our customers. Next week we will be looking at some new irrigation system components and doing some demonstration's to our staff. Look for some pictures then and some additional information on our findings.

Sprinkler Repair Atlanta

I cannot stress the importanance enough of choosing a reputable irrigation company even for your sprinkler repair. Be sure to ask if they warrant their repair work and even how long they've been in business. I've gotten several calls lately where the customer had their system repaired this winter or early spring and are having the same problems...some of these customers cannot even locate the company or contractor they used.

Irrigation Atlanta

Everyone is gearing up for the summer months...be sure to check out your irrigation system every couple of weeks. Take 5 minutes to run through it and walk around to see if there are any visible signs of something amiss. This will save you time and money later~

Save money, water efficiently by upgrading your irrigation system

As your lawn sprinkler ages it needs some maintenance just like a car. Upgrading your heads, nozzles, and making simple minor adjustments can make all the difference. If you don't have a rain sensor (required by State law after 2005) or a backflow prevention device, add those items to increase the safety and efficiency of your system.

New Irrigation System Installation

Today we will finish up our new irrigation system installation in Tyrone. If all goes well I'll have pictures later today. Word of caution: when chosing an irrigation company in Atlanta make sure they follow state and/or local requirements for rain sensors and backflow prevention.

Irrigation Installation: Basics

When chosing a company to install your new irrigation system, find out about products, warranties, time in business, and that they will meet or exceed the state requirements for rain sensors and backflow prevention.

Also, if you are not doing your entire yard, ask that it be prepped for future expansion as this will save you a lot of money later particularly if you use a different irrigation company for your add-on.

Irrigation Atlanta

Today I received a phone call from a customer that recently had a new irrigation system installed by another contractor. She has been unsucsessful in getting the problems resolved by that irrigation company.

Very few atlanta irrigation companies survived the drought and there are some really good ones out there but there are many new ones sprouting up all over Atlanta. When considering an irrigation company for your new irrigation system ask about the state requirements, how long have you been in business (ask for proof) and check them out as thoroughly as possible. It will save you a lot of trouble later.

Irrigation Backflow Prevention

I cannot stress the importance of proper backflow prevention for irrigation systems. This became state law in 2005 and many irrigation companies in Atlanta still are not complying. If you don't have a backflow prevention device on your system, get one today for your protection and the protection of those around you. If you are considering a new irrigation system, be sure that your irrigation contractor provides you with this necessary component.

To all our mothers: Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's in the world and those who choose to be mothers to others.

Being a Mom is one of the greatest joys in my life. I don't have an instruction booklet on what to do as a Mom. I try to do what is best for my kids. It's an honor to be a mother. I am so thankful to be one and so thankful to still have my Mom in my life everyday.

Happy Mother's Day.

Don't Wait til it rains!

Don't wait until it rains and you find your sprinkler system watering at the same time to get an inexpensive rain sensor installed. This has been the law for over 5 years and still not being complied with by many irrigation contractors in Atlanta.

Take things a step forward with the innovative irrigation products in the market today using evaporation technology to help conserve water. Believe it or not, these smart controllers and sensors are very affordable.

Need more info, email me carla@milleniumirrigation.com

Thanks to Rainbird & Central Irrigation

Many thanks to Mike and Andy of Rainbird as well as Tony from Central Irrigation. We spent some time together this afternoon exploring products and water efficiency solutions. In our business it is great to see partnership building, exploration and exchange of ideas that will benefit the irrigation industry as a whole. Effective use of water with irrigation systems should be a very serious business and I appreciate seeing a large sprinkler manufacturer taking it seriously. Thanks!
