Why Your Irrigation System Won't Turn Off

scenario, consistent pressure issues can mimic a system that won't turn off. Furthermore, if your system utilizes flow sensors, a malfunctioning sensor could incorrectly report low flow, prompting the controller to keep a zone open in an attempt to reach a desired flow rate. The intense demands placed on irrigation systems during our long, dry periods, especially when watering diverse desert plants, can exacerbate these underlying pressure and flow vulnerabilities.

Environmental Impact and Wear and Tear

Arizona's unique climate plays a significant role in the longevity and performance of irrigation systems. Beyond hard water and extreme heat, the monsoon season can introduce sudden, heavy downpours that might temporarily confuse rain sensors or even cause minor electrical disruptions. The constant expansion and contraction of pipes and fittings due to temperature fluctuations, combined with the abrasive nature of caliche soil, contribute to general wear and tear. Over decades, even the most robust systems in cities like Phoenix, Scottsdale, or Mesa will show signs of age, making components more prone to failure. Regular maintenance is key to mitigating these environmental impacts.

When your irrigation system refuses to shut off, it's a clear signal that something is amiss and requires immediate attention. Ignoring the problem can lead to significant water waste, damage to your landscape, and costly repairs down the line.
