Pearson Sprinkler Company has been receiving numerous calls about sprinkler systems Dallas. The main concern is homeowners that felt that they had a leak in their lawn sprinkler system due to a high water bill. In several of these cases, we are finding that the sprinkler system is ok; however, the consumers are not noticing the spikes in the water rates. With a drought, an increase in water demand, and infrastructure improvements, water rates are continuing to rise and there is no plan to stop the increase in the near future. It is also an effort to get consumers to pay more attention to conserving water.

There are many different methods that you can utilize in order to conserve water. First, most people mistakenly over water. Pearson Sprinkler Company has an annual watering guide posted on our website. This watering guide is based on the soil type and climate for our area. Another way that sprinkler systems Dallas can dramatically reduce water consumption is to convert your flowerbed zones from spray to drip irrigation. This is ideal for flowerbeds because the drip waters directly to the root zones without spraying onto windows and or promoting week growth. Also, check your sprinkler controller to see how long each station is running for. If you notice on the watering guide, our maximum recommended run time for spray-type sprinkler heads is 15 minutes. A lot of people we find are watering for 30 minutes. A significant amount of the water starts to run off the soil after 15 minutes due to the application rate of the water being higher than the soil’s absorption rate to hold the water. Just by rescheduling the sprinkler system to run for 15 minutes instead of 30 minutes, you will cut your water usage in half and still have a healthy lawn and landscape. Also, try using mulch or groundcover in your flowerbeds. This will greatly reduce the rate of evapotranspiration by shielding the moisture in the soil from sun and wind exposure. You can find a useful page about water conservation methods on our website.

There are several models of SMART controllers on the market that completely take the guess work out of scheduling your lawn sprinkler system. These controllers use historical meteorological data and real time weather data to make its own watering schedule. You simply enter the custom site data relating to your specific property and landscape features. When the systems are set up properly, they have been reducing the water consumption of irrigation systems by 30-50%. In addition to the water savings, people have said that their landscapes have been healthier. Over watering makes landscaping more prone to diseases. There are many different methods and benefits to conserving water.
