If you are not getting enough water, you should consider adjusting the automatic sprinkler heads. By adjusting the heads on their sprinkler systems, homeowners can stop wasting water and water their lawns and gardens more efficiently.
Keep in mind that adjustment is not always the same as repair. When you change the way a sprinkler works, you are changing its normal path. First, figure out how far the sprinkler heads reach when the water pressure is normal.
Open the water line for extra water pressure
If you want more power, you could open the water line all the way, which will give you the most water pressure. This can cause overwatering, and it can also mean that there isn’t enough water in other places.
Know that garden sprinkler system heads are made to spray water in a certain way. Traditionally, homeowners put 45-degree heads near the corners, 50-degree heads along the lengths, and 360-degree heads in the middle.
When they spray together, the result is a perfect “arching.” No matter how they are changed, it is important that these patterns meet at the edge but do not overlap.
How to make sure your head is in the right place?
Firstly you should bring a change in the water pressure at the source. You could change the length of the spray or make the range bigger.
The water pressure could be changed right at the sprinkler heads. You could even set the pressure and length of the cycle with an automatic timer.
When adjusting sprinkler heads, put them back where they should be and make sure they are at the right distance from each other.
To be sure, you might have to measure the distance. There should be no trees, bushes, or any plants which are blocking the spray. This will stop the system from working as well as it could.
How to adjust sprinkle head on pop-up sprinkle?
To adjust the sprinkler head on a pop-up sprinkler, you must manually pull the pop-up out of each head and then look for the black tip on the end of the nozzle.
Then, you can make the angle bigger by turning the tip counterclockwise. To get the angle back to where it was before, you move it in a clockwise direction.
If the adjustment needs to be done by hand, find the screw on the top of the nozzle and turn it either clockwise or counterclockwise to get the same result.
Conclusion
Before making changes, you should always draw a blueprint of your yard. Just take exact automatic sprinkler measurements to avoid problems with streams that aren’t straight or that overlap. For more information visit our Website.
