I forgot to mention, many Villagers in the north have one water source for both their drinking and irrigation water. In these cases an Irrigation filter is not necessary. If you have a non-potable water source supplying your Irrigation water then you need to consider the filter because although there may be some areas where there is very little sediment, most areas have a lot, especially when the ponds are low like they are now.
So, the point of this post is, if your sprinkler heads are getting clogged with sediment, consider installing a Irrigation filter to minimize the maintenance of regular sprinkler head cleaning and the DIY labor and or cost involved. Once an irrigation filter is installed in homes that need it, you really don't need to spend the money on periodic maintenance from an Irrigation company. You should be able to check your system periodically and manually adjust any heads that are not spraying properly. Replacements can easily be purchased at Lowes or Home Depot.
BTW, if you get an Irrigation filter installed by Chuck, for a small fee he will clean your filter once a month or whatever the interval is. This is great for those who don't want or are unable to maintain the filter.
