Spring start up instructions
Step 1 Reinstall RPZ valve back on to the piping on the outside of the house. The arrow on the side of the valve shows the flow of water. The arrow should point to the pipe that goes into the ground. The 3 test valves on the RPZ face upwards, the big drainage hole faces down. When connecting the valve to the unions make sure the O-rings are still in the groove on the RPZ.
Step 2 Close the drains and turn the water on. Plug the control timer and pump in if they were unplugged for the winter.
Step 3 Run each station for 2-3 minutes and check all heads to make sure they are spraying correctly. Sometimes the snowplows damage the heads or the grass grows over them.
Step 4 Call us for the RPZ certification.
