Changes, add-ons and upgrades

WOW!! After record high temps in March, snow every weekend in April, and a mix of hot dry weather and lots of rain in May, we have finally slowed down. Very unpredictable spring so far.

We are now pretty much through the initial period of start ups and repairing freeze damage. Now is the time to have us make any changes, add-ons, or upgrades. Landscaping changes and matures over time, which means the sprinkler system needs to be changed and adjusted as well. Sprinkler heads need to be moved to accommodate new or over grown shrubs, and some need to be raised and straightened over time.

Some upgrades can be made to your system to either save on water, give better coverage and water distribution, or just to be more user friendly. There are rain sensors to turn off the system when there has been enough rainfall, "smart" controllers that adjust the watering schedule according to the weather, easier to use controllers than some of the older models, and newer heads and nozzles that water more efficiently.

Some water districts give rebates for making some water conserving upgrades. Colorado Springs Utilities, Donala Water and Sanitation, and Woodmoor Water all have different rebate programs.
