Opening Lawn Sprinkler and Irrigation Systems in MA  

If P.J. Pappas Company installed your sprinkler system, you can expect to have it scheduled to be opened sometime during the month or April.  However, our start date may vary from year to year depending on the weather.  In the case of a “late” or delayed spring, we may need to the first week or two in May to get all of our customers up and running.

  • For customers whom have  the “Alleviator Valve” you will automatically be scheduled for an open-up. Our technician can turn the water on from the outside via The Alleviator Key. In this case, there is nothing that the customer will need to do in advance of the technician’s arrival.
     
  • For customers who DO NOT have an Alleviator Valve, we will call in advance when it is time to have the water turned on inside for the sprinkler system so it can be serviced.

At your spring opening, one of our trained technicians will activate your system, inspect and adjust all sprinkler heads, replace any heads that do not rotate or are broken, test your rain sensor and inspect each zone for leaks.
 

SPRING OPEN SPRINKLERS:
  1. The back flow preventer is first pressurized and checked for any leaks
  2. All zones lines are tested
  3. The Rain Sensor is tested to be sure that it is working properly
  4. Rotary heads are checked to make sure they are rotating
  5. Spray heads are checked to be sure that the nozzles are not clogged and that they pop up and go back down
  6. Any heads that are blocked due to overgrowth will be raised
  7. All heads are checked for proper adjustment
