Most common irrigation system issues in Toronto and the GTA are referred to as various problems. These problems can hurt the system’s efficiency. A common issue is leaking pipes caused by a water leak. This makes the system less efficient. Dirt, debris, or mineral build-up in the sprinkler heads often causes the sprinklers to get blocked. This results in uneven water distribution. Defective valves may be responsible for lack of zone activation or water in the area. Broken or misaligned sprinkler heads can lead to lack of coverage and efficiency. Adjusting or replacing the damaged units is important. A problematic backflow preventer can be even worse. It can allow invisible contamination mixed with water, which becomes harmful to health. Water pressure issues, either too high or too low, are another problem. Controller and timer failures also cause water distribution to deteriorate. Electrical problems while connecting the system can result in a signal not reaching the valves, crippling the entire system. Usual inspections can eliminate these errors and keep the system working efficiently.
