Audit zones to ensure correct runtime, precipitation rate, and distribution efficiency. Map valve boxes and zone wiring for future maintenance reference. Keep detailed service logs, zone maps, and controller programming notes. Installation & Upgrades Assist with installation of new systems, retrofitting existing zones for water conservation. Install drip systems, submain lines, and lateral lines. Recommend upgrades such as smart controllers, master valves, or pump start relays for aging systems.
