Otherwise, you may return to your entire lawn dead, instead of just a small area.
Although the main filter can clog if not maintained, I’ve never seen one restrict water 100%. If you are a snow bird and you get Chuck to do the install you can have him clean the filter when you are away. Problem solved.
