4 Ways to Troubleshoot a Retic Perth Expert
Advice When they take the plunge and install a
retic, Perth residents are making an investment
in the health of their gardens and lawns.
However, an irrigation Perth system can only be
effective if its working as intended and if it
isnt it could even harm your garden. In this
article, we will look at four ways to
troubleshoot your irrigation system if you
suspect you have a problem.

• A Basic Once Over
• Even if you dont know much about your irrigation
  system, its worth giving it a once over
  yourself if youre not getting the desired
  results. Sometimes a problem can be obvious
  maybe a hose has worked loose, or a single
  sprinkler head isnt working. This may help you
  to find a fix yourself, but if you contact Lukes
  Landscaping, it will give us vital clues on the
  cause of the problem. Identifying the source of
  the irrigation issue is often harder than fixing
  it in many cases.
• Look for Leaking Around the Valve
• A water leak is a very common cause of irrigation
  problems, and a broken sprinkler valve is a
  likely culprit. When a valve leaks, it can be
  caused by a wide variety of reasons, and it can
  take some detective work to establish the exact
  cause. Find out where the leak is coming from,
  such as the anti-siphon part, the solenoid or the
  valve housing itself. Some of these valve parts
  are cheap to replace, and others dont make much
  sense to repair at all. In certain cases, it may
  be cheaper to simply replace the entire valve.
• A Lack of Water Supplied to the Sprinkler Heads

You may notice that the sprinkler heads seem to
be little to no water and yet the valve is
turned on. This could indicate that the valve has
gone bad or there could be a water pressure
issue. Sprinkler water pressure issues can often
be caused by a faulty sprinkler valve that will
not allow an adequate amount of water to reach
the sprinkler head. A good first step is to
isolate the source of the problem, turn the valve
all the way on and check if thats the only
valve affected or if others have the same
problem. If only that sprinkler valve is
affected, its probably a fault in the valve, if
others are also affected it could be the
pressure vacuum breaker or the main sprinkler
shut off. 4. The Sprinkler Valve Will Not Turn
On The sprinkler valve should turn on
automatically when your timer is activated. If
the valve will not turn on it could be a bad
valve, or its possible that there is a wiring
problem. This can easily be established by
manually turning on the sprinkler valve to
identify any electrical problems. Be sure to
check the wiring for signs of wear and tear
there should be no cuts or breaks in any cabling.
If you cannot establish the cause, contact a
professional for assistance. If they need
