In closing...Smart Irrigation Month

I gave you some tips throughout June on things you could do to make your irrigation system more efficient - a lot of the tips I gave you were simple and inexpensive. Let me know - did you use any of them or implement any of my ideas?

While Smart Irrigation Month only comes once a year, to preserve our most precious resource - WATER - we should be smart all year long about our water usage. Tiny steps in efficiency can go a long way. Just think....3 little things that save you 3-5% of water = as much as a 15% savings for you overall.

Be smart about irrigation all year long.

Smart Irrigation Month.....Different Plant Types

If you have different plant types on one zone of irrigation consider possibly replacing it with drip irrigation which will allow you to customize more of the amount of water delivered to those areas. If your system was properly designed, there would not be a mixture of low water and high water zones but drip is one way you can make it work for you.

Irrigation Atlanta

My guys are out and about today from Dallas to Sharpsburg to Decatur to Locust Grove (x2). It seems as if since the kids are going back to school in the next weeks that everyone is starting to look into their fall landscape projects......remember fall is a great time of year to install an irrigaation system.

Cycle & Soak

Interestingly a lot of controllers have a "cycle & soak" option but very few people use it because they don't exactly know what it means including irrigation contractors. "Cycle & Soak" is simple....it allows programming of multiple watering times for much shorter periods of time. Thus is cycles and then breaks to allow the water to "soak" into the soil. This is great for areas where water drains off quickly due to soil types or even sloped areas.

High (or low) irrigation system water pressure

High pressure blowing out your heads, valves? Do your irrigation system heads spray a mist? If your sprinkler heads are misting that means that the water isn't reaching your sprinkler heads at the best possible water flow rate. Low water pressure can keep your irrigation system from giving good coverage too. There are many solutions to try a regular pressure regulator helps the best in many situation to regulate the water pressure on the entire system and should be used in high pressure situations. Heads with pressure regulating stems help with the misting and are fairly inexpensive. Rotary nozzles can help distribute water more effectively in low flow situations as well as valves with flow control can help in situations with varied landscapes.

Irrigation System Repairs: A simple upgrade can go along way!

When having your irrigation system repaired, many simple upgrades can go a long way such as a rain sensor or backflow prevention (both required since 2005).

But if you have a Rainbird ESP controller ask your irrigation company about upgrading the faceplate to the new Rainbird ESP-SMT which is a super efficient water saving controller.

Smart Irrigation Month.......Tip...

See water all over your walkway and driveway after your irrigation system has ran? Adjustments can increase the efficiency of your irrigation system and are quite easy to do. I don't know of any concrete that needs watering!

Smart Irrigation Month

Thinking of updating your irrigation system...smart irrigation month is here so...take a moment to research the great strides having been made in water efficient irrigation system products from sprayers to rotors to controllers!

Wake Up World!

Rise & Shine everybody! Today is a brand new day! Today we've got the guys running around Hampton, Jonesboro and Decatur. If you're in any of these areas and need a quick irrigation repair, don't hesitate to give Millenium a call. Right now Matt is in Atlanta at Liberty Park fixing a small valve leak for his first call of the day. Remember, a valve leak may only be a little conundrum, but in time it could possibly turn into a major dilemma. Scott & Pete are in Hampton now making a small repair.

A word about Smart Controllers for Irrigation...

SMART IRRIGATION MONTH: A smart controller is only as good as the information it receives. Some of the information comes from the weather stations or is paged into the smart controller, part of it is input by your irrigation company. Ask questions and make sure your irrigation company in Atlanta knows what information is needed and that it is input properly.

I can't say it enough..........RAIN SENSORS

I can't say it enough....that is the importance of Rain Sensors. Not only have rain sensors been required on all new irrigation system installations since 2005 but they can help you save as much as 30% on your water bill as opposed to an irrigation system with out one. A rain sensor is very inexpensive and will pay for itself in one season!

APRIL FOOL'S!!!

Don’t be fooled by contractors who claim they can save you money by auditing your irrigation system water usage. It takes a substantial amount of skill, knowledge and training to properly do an irrigation audit of any size and most residential irrigation systems benefit the most from Smart controllers and ET systems.

OFF TO THE RACES!

Today our crew is all over metro Atlanta helping to fix all of your irrigation needs. Seems like this month is the month for installations! Oh yeah, Gregg & Carla are back in town!






Remember: an automatic lawn sprinkler system save water, money and time!
