i) Filtration
(1) Automatic Filters
(a) Verify flushing is occurring properly
(b) Manual flush when system reaches operating pressure
(2) Manual Filters
(a) Make sure filter element is clean before start-up
(b) Make sure pressure differential on filter is within specification for system
ii) Flow Meter
(1) Verifies system flow rate every time you irrigate. Detects possible problems
(a) High flows
(i) Verify the correct valve(s) are open/closed
(ii) Possible broken lines
(b) Low flows
(i) Verify the correct valves(s) are open/closed
(ii) Possible plugged emitters/sprinklers
iii) Pressure gauges
(1) Verify system pressures every time you irrigate.
(a) High pressures
(i) Verify the correct valve(s) are open/closed
(ii) Possible plugged Filter
(iii) Possible plugged emitters/sprinklers
(b) Low pressures
(i) Verify the correct valve(s) are open/closed
(ii) Possible broken lines
iv) Visual Inspections
(1) Filter Station
(a) Verify correct pressures and flow rates are maintained
(2) Valve Stations
(a) Verify correct valves are open/closed
(b) Verify correct pressures
(3) Field
(a) Sprinklers are upright
(b) Sprinklers are turning
(c) No Geysers
