Mid Season Visit

The purpose of Kleen Cut Irrigation performing a mid season visit is to minimize the costs that can arise from improper controller timing , plant growth, leaks, broken sprinkler heads and overspray into unwanted areas resulting in wasted water. The hammock the kids purchased for dad on Father’s Day is great for relaxing in, but it blocks coverage to the Hydrangea that was planted on Mother’s Day. You recently completed a new shed, deck or patio and it is now situated on top of a sprinkler head. These are just a few issues that need to be addressed from time to time on your property. Preventative maintenance on your irrigation system can fix an issue before it becomes a major expense.
If you currently only receive our winterization service, our technicians never get a chance to review your site in the Spring and make any suggestions, improvements or much needed repairs to its operating efficiency. If you currently receive both a Spring Start Up and a winterization, this mid season visit allows us to modify controller / timer settings and ensure accurate adjustment of nozzles and spray patterns. All of our technicians findings are detailed in your invoice should you decide to proceed with any repair or suggested improvement in the future.
Over watering, leaks from sprinkler heads have an obvious cost to water being wasted. Other expenses could include lawn restoration due to disease, soil erosion, plant replacement, mold and water damage in basements or outdoor structures.
Under watering has a cost as well. It can be caused by more than just controller / timer settings. Common issues are sprinkler heads that have stopped rotating, plant growth impeding spray patterns and pool / patio furniture locations.
Preventative maintenance can go a long way in maintaining an irrigation system. Many system owners don’t realize the importance of a regular maintenance schedule. We often receive service call requests when unpleasant brown patches appear on the lawn, plant material shows signs of stress or a leak / broken equipment begins causing water damage. Just like your car or any other mechanical device, your irrigation system requires periodic maintenance to prolong the life and increase the integrity of your valued landscape.

Rain Sensors.... Yes you Need one.......

 
Do you need a rain sensor to automatically delay or shut off the system if it is raining?

 The addition of a rain sensor to your system is pretty much a no-brainer. You can set these sensors to delay or shut off watering once they detect a certain amount of rainfall. This saves you from wasting water on rainy days and the annoyance of fines (in some communities) and public embarrassment as neighbors become more aware of water conservation.

Are you watering when its raining????  If you are, call us to have a rain sensor installed today. Conserve water and save money on your water bill...

MP Rotator Materials and Labor Savings

MP Rotators Win Jobs on More than Just Water Savings

Background

Hunter's MP Rotator is leading the way in water conservation and cost savings, which makes it one of the most efficient products irrigation has ever seen. However, the savings involved with using MP Rotators goes far beyond water. MP Rotators also save money in the form of materials and labor as well, which, as any contractor knows, can make or break a bid for a job. The following is a bid comparison between designing with traditional spray nozzles and designing with MP Rotators.

Approach

One job site was submitted for two separate bids from a landscape contractor. The first bid utilized traditional spray nozzles, and the second bid featured a system based on Hunter's MP Rotators. All materials and cost of labor were included in both bids.

Results

When taking into account all aspects of the site in need of a system, the total bid on the traditional nozzle system was over $4,000. Irrigating the same landscaped area with an MP Rotator-based system came in at 45% less, with a total cost of just $2,226.90. The main reason the MP system saved so much money in the bid was because it uses far less overall materials, and therefore, requires far less labor to install. For example, the MP Rotator system required less than half the valves, 90% less mainline, and half the amount of stations when compared to the traditional spray nozzle system. The overall savings of designing with the MP Rotator prove that the benefits of this revolutionary innovation go far beyond conserving water.

Spring Sprinkler System Startup for 2012

During April and May, we recommend our spring start-up services to get your sprinkler system up and running for the season. Winter ground heaving, heavy snowfall and snow removal can all take a toll on adjustments and function of your lawn sprinkler heads. Our Spring Start-up technicians inspect for all the issues winter leaves behind. As well, from year to year your landscape changes, shrubs and trees grow and sometimes landscape is redesigned and changes. At the time of Spring Start-up we review the design of your current irrigation system in order to recommend changes or enhancements that will ensure your sprinkler system meet the needs of all of your lawn and plants in the most efficient manner. From a simple head change, to the addition of entire zones, our technicians will work with you to optimize turf and plant coverage.
We will check all the components to ensure your irrigation sprinkler system is fully functional for the watering season. This service includes:

• Turn water on to the sprinkler system and inspect sprinkler plumbing and backflow preventer.
• Activate the controller, set watering schedule and test all valves in the system. Install battery. (Battery sold separately)
• Inspect and adjust the system for proper coverage.
• Check for system leaks.
• Check function of all heads and nozzles.

Scheduling your spring start-up depends on the weather conditions and your individual watering needs. Contact Kleencut Irrigation early to schedule this service. If you're interested in having us look at your sprinkler irrigation system, contact us for a quote!
