Old Sprinkler Systems

There are a few thing you should know about your Orlando sprinkler system as it ages. It gets OLD. It is plastic and rubber. Plastic gets brittle and rubber dry rots. Some systems start having issues after only 5 years old. Some last as long as 20. The biggest difference seems to be the amount of dirt or sand on and around the sprinkler.

If the head is in sod like is should be, they last longer. If they are in sand with no vegetation, they are more likely to expire prematurely. On new installs on sand, heads can stick up out of the box!

So in conclusion, a nice lawn will actually help your sprinklers last longer. Funny, the sprinklers are there to make the lawn nice!
