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. |
I agree that, if you have a problem with clogged sprinkler heads, it is a good idea to install a filter for the entire system. But, I have never had a problem with clogged heads. Occasionally, a sprinkler head will break or become misaligned, but almost never clogged with sand, debris, or algae. Maybe clogging occurs in some areas of The Villages.
