Sprinkler Turn-On Steps:

Sprinkler turn-on, also known as sprinkler system activation or spring start-up, prepares your sprinkler system for the watering season after the winter months. Here's what typically entails sprinkler turn-on:

  • System Inspection: A thorough inspection of the entire sprinkler system is completed to check for any damage, leaks, or issues that may have occurred during the winter months. This includes examining the main water line, valves, pipes, fittings, sprinkler heads, and any other components.


  • Reconnecting Water Supply: If the main water supply to the sprinkler system was shut off for winterization, it is reconnected to allow water to flow into the system.


  • Testing Valves: Each zone valve is manually opened and tested to ensure it operates correctly and allows water to flow to the corresponding zone.


  • Checking Sprinkler Heads: Each sprinkler head is inspected to ensure it is in good condition, properly adjusted, and free from obstructions. Any damaged or malfunctioning sprinkler heads are repaired or replaced as needed.


  • Programming Controller: The sprinkler system controller is programmed or adjusted to set watering schedules and zones based on the specific needs of the landscape.


  • System Activation: Once all inspections and adjustments are completed, the sprinkler system is activated to water the landscape. This may involve manually activating each zone or using the controller to start watering cycles.


  • System Test: A complete system test is conducted to ensure that all zones function correctly, water is distributed evenly, and there are no leaks or other issues.



  • Adjustments and Fine-Tuning: Any adjustments to watering schedules, run times, or sprinkler head settings are made to optimize the system's efficiency and effectiveness.
