Reticulation systems are an effective and efficient means of keeping your garden consistently lush and green all year long. When temperatures climb during the summer months, having a reticulation system installed and running becomes a priority. There are many reasons your reticulation system is failing to work as well as it should. Here are a few common problems associated with reticulation repair.

Solenoid Problems

The solenoid in your irrigation system could be malfunctioning or broken internally. It’s possible for solenoid coils to burn out and cause it to function poorly. In some instances, the solenoid valve could fail to close due to there being something lodged in it. This means that water is constantly running in one station, causing the pressure to drop in other stations, subsequently leading to poor distribution of water across the garden. If the master solenoid is not working, it could shut down the whole system.

Wiring

Wiring is an especially common problem with reticulation systems, particularly in older systems. There are instances where improper installation results in messy wiring and even lacked the proper conduits to keep it dry and protected. Old and broken wires are a frequent occurrence and the root of many problems with irrigation systems as they cause connection problems. It might be a better option to consider rewiring the whole system if there are too many faulty connections due to age and wear.

Sprinkler Heads and Piping

Proper installation of sprinkler heads is key to ensuring that all areas of your garden are sufficiently watered. A common problem is incorrect placement. Too high and the sprinkler head is likely to be hit by lawn mowers or vehicles which can cause the sprinkler to sink into the ground or suffer damage. In addition, little rocks and grass can get into the sprinkler nozzle causing clogs in it and the piping beneath. Blocked, crushed or kinked pipes will cause poor water pressure across the system.
