In North and South Carolina, where water is particularly precious, you don’t want to see a drop go to waste. Not only does that take a toll on the environment, but it can be bad for your wallet, too. For that reason, you might be thinking about how you can upgrade a sprinkler controller.

Answered and Questions
Sprinkler System Acting wonkey and your system is coming on multiple times or not at all?

The biggest limitation is usually in how many zones the controller can run. For instance, if you buy a smart controller that is designed to run on six zones (maybe some different flower beds plus your lawn), and you want to add a new zone later (maybe you’re installing another flower bed), with certain systems, you’re out of luck. While some systems can be upgraded, others have zone limitations that can’t be changed.

If a system isn’t installed right, it’s not going to work right, either.

Bear in mind that not all irrigation pros are the experts that you’d hope they are. That’s why it’s also important to make sure you are choosing a qualified pro. This should be a company that employs licensed irrigation professionals.

At Fort Mill Irrigation, we use Certified Irrigation Technicians and are licensed by the NCILB. License #C-965 Our Certified Irrigation Technicians are well-trained and solely focused on tune-ups, audits, and repairs.

Leaks will send money down the drain. Even a small leak can become a bigger problem over time if left unfixed. A lot of times, homeowners assume that lawn irrigation system problems are going to be obvious. There would be a lot of standing water in the yard or maybe a really noticeable leak with water spraying where it isn’t supposed to.

Universal Irrigation FAQ

What sprinkler timer is best for my system?

The main limitation is typically the number of zones a controller can manage. For example, if you purchase a smart controller designed for six zones (perhaps different flower beds plus your lawn) and later decide to add a new zone (like another flower bed), certain systems won’t accommodate the extra zone. While some systems can be upgraded, others have fixed zone limits.

Choose a Qualified Irrigation Pro to Upgrade a Sprinkler Controller

Proper installation is crucial for optimal system performance. Not all irrigation professionals are as skilled as you’d expect. Ensure you choose a qualified company that employs licensed irrigation experts. Universal Irrigation employs Certified Irrigation Technicians, well-trained in tune-ups, audits, and repairs.

What Should Be Included in an Irrigation System Audit?

Leaks can waste money. Even small leaks can become significant issues over time if left unaddressed. Homeowners might assume that lawn irrigation problems are always obvious, expecting standing water or noticeable leaks. However, issues can be more subtle and still costly.
