Listen up, Sprinkler Head—it’s May, which means your sprinkler system is about to come out of hibernation and hit the summer stage like it’s on tour. But before you crank it up and start spraying like a firetruck on parade, let’s give that system a little TLC. Trust us, your garden (and your water bill) will thank you. A quick pre-summer tune-up now will save you from soggy flower beds, dry patches, and accidental geysers later.
Step one: turn on the system zone by zone and inspect each sprinkler head. If one’s shooting sideways like it’s auditioning for a Vegas fountain show, it probably just needs a little adjusting or cleaning. Step two: check for leaks. Soggy spots, puddles, or suspiciously high water usage are telltale signs that something’s off underground. Step three: replace any cracked, clogged, or broken parts. If your system has been through a few freeze-thaw cycles, those plastic pieces might be more brittle than your willpower at a plant nursery.
Now’s also the perfect time to realign spray heads so they’re actually watering the plants—not the sidewalk. Bonus points for upgrading to high-efficiency nozzles or adding a smart timer that adjusts for weather. Why water in the rain when your system can do the thinking for you? Cheap Sprinklers has everything you need to make this glow-up happen—from durable parts and pro-grade timers to budget-friendly kits that even a weekend warrior can install. You’ll look like a genius and save money, which is a win-win in our book.
Don’t wait until your garden is mid-meltdown to realize your system isn’t pulling its weight. A quick May check-up now means you can sit back and sip lemonade later—while your sprinklers do all the hard work. So grab your tools, channel your inner irrigation inspector, and let Cheap Sprinklers help you get your system in shape for the season. Happy watering, Sprinkler Head!
