The only way to solve this problem is by installing an irrigation filter. It's not expensive but once intstalled and your sprinkler heads and filters cleaned or replaced if they are already clogged, you won't have to spend that yearly cost cleaning or replacing your sprinkler heads meaning the installation of an irrigation filter will pay for itself in one season.
If you are interested in an irrigation filter a Village resident Chuck Grospitch installs them. You might want to give him a call on 440-823-4273 or e-mail him at chuck.grospitch@gmail.com
for information. He's highly recommended. |
Different strokes for different folks. A filter will not prevent your lawn mowing guy or gal from cutting off the heads or driving over them or whatever and knocking them out of proper adjustment. It has been very dry. Perhaps a wise time to check your heads.
Should be a what to do in February, March kind of thing.
Perhaps, my style for many things. You can pay someone to do it wait around for a day
for them to show up. Or look it up on the internet and do it yourself. The parts a color coded and a commonly sold item Ace, Lowes and mail order.
Someone mentioned there are filters in every head. We are on the recycled water and I don't recall ever seeing a stuffed head filter.
