As Houston is making its way through the final stretch of the cooler season, homeowners may want to consider turning their system back on. Turning the sprinkler system back on and watering your yard will allow your plants to receive the proper moisture they need to grow. Whenever homeowners do turn their sprinkler system back on, they may want to upgrade their system to allow it to run more efficiently.

Here’s why you should upgrade your sprinkler system

Upgrading your sprinkler system can improve water efficiency, helping you save money on the water bill. Additionally, upgrading your sprinkler system can assist in promoting plant health through efficient watering.

5 Sprinkler System Upgrades for this Spring Season:

Installing a New Controller: High quality controllers are recommended for efficient watering. Controllers like the Rain Bird ME3 can connect to local weather data to track weather conditions. Additionally, this controller allows you to set up customizable watering schedules.

Installing a Rain Sensor: Installing a rain sensor to your sprinkler system ensures you’re not watering while it’s raining. Basically, the rain sensor detects rainfall and prevents the system from running during rainy weather. We recommend the Rain Bird rain sensor.

Drip Irrigation: Drip irrigation is useful for precise watering around plants, garden beds, or trees. Drip irrigation is a game changer and allows for optimal watering by directly delivering water to the plant’s root zone. Additionally, minimizing evaporation and runoff.

Rotary Nozzles: Replacing standard sprinkler nozzles with rotary nozzles will deliver water more slowly and evenly. These nozzles reduce runoff and provide better coverage for your lawn and garden.

Upgraded Sprinkler Heads: Replace older sprinkler heads with more efficient models. Pop-up sprinkler heads or adjustable spray heads can ensure that water is distributed evenly access your lawn or garden, and you can adjust the coverage area to match the landscape.

These upgrades can elevate your sprinkler system, assist in conservation of water, improving plant health and maintain a more efficient system overall.
