Maintaining irrigation sprinkler heads is key to their efficiency. Regularly check for clogged nozzles, which can be caused by debris. Remove any dirt or sediment with a small brush or needle. Ensure heads are upright and not tilted, as this can affect spray patterns. Test each head to see if it’s spraying evenly—adjust or replace misaligned ones. Check for leaks around the base of heads, which may indicate damaged seals. In cold climates, winterize heads to prevent freezing and cracking. Lubricate moving parts of rotary or impact heads to keep them rotating smoothly. Inspect heads after heavy rains or lawn maintenance to ensure they’re not damaged. Proper maintenance extends the life of sprinkler heads, saves water, and keeps your landscape well - watered.​
