One of the leading causes of high water usage from your home or property could very easily be your sprinkler system. Oftentimes a sprinkler head might have a leak that you may not notice, causing excess water to be wasted instead of being properly distributed throughout your yard or garden. One great way to fix this issue is to install anti-drain check valves in the sprinkler heads. These valves are designed to automatically close when the water supply is turned off, thus preventing water from draining through the lowest sprinkler heads unintentionally.
Another way to help prevent sprinkler leaks is to periodically check your sprinkler heads for debris that could be obstructing the valves’ diaphragm.
Following these steps could help you greatly reduce water usage and keep your yard looking neat and healthy!
