Maintenance

1. 

Regular Filter Cleaning

• 

Unscrew the cap on the screen or disk filter. Remove the 

screen or disk assembly and rinse thoroughly in clean water. 

Replace.

• 

If you are using a well or city water, this may only need to be 

done occasionally. If you are using surface water, you will 

probably need to rinse the filter assembly out before every use.

2. 

Before you expect freezing temperatures

 

• 

Disconnect from your supply line and open all valves. Allow 

gravity to drain the system. 

• 

Unscrew the couplings on both sides of the filter/valve/

pressure regulator assembly and remove the entire assembly. 

Store in an area which will not freeze.

• 

Take off the SpinNet™ sprinkler heads from hanging assemblies. 

This will allow the hanging assemblies to drain fully.

11. 

At ground level, cut the Black Polyethylene Tubing and 

attach the second Elbow.

12. 

Attach the remainder of the Black Polyethylene Tubing to 

the other end of the Elbow and point it in the direction of 

your water supply.

13. 

Connect the Hose Adapter to the supply end of the Black 

Polyethylene Tubing and then hook up to your water 
supply.

14. 

Flush the system to get rid of any debris in the lines. First, 
open the water supply and flush the main line. Then, 
screw the cap on the end of the Flush Valve and allow 
water to flush each base assembly.

15. 

Finally, attach each SpinNet™ Sprinkler Head to a 
Hanging Assembly. Your irrigation system should be 
ready to go! 
(

Note:

 If water pressure is not sufficient to run all sprin-

klers, you can replace every other sprinkler with the sup-

plied 

goof plugs

.)
