Outdoor leaks can have a major effect on your water usage. For example, when an automatic irrigation system develops a leak, often you don’t even know because the bulk of the system is underground. This can lead to huge amounts of wasted water — and soaring water bills.
It’s a good idea to check regularly to make sure your irrigation system and other outdoor water sources don’t have leaks.
Set it, but don’t forget it.Automatic sprinkler systems aren't completely automatic, so they don’t adjust themselves when the weather gets hotter or when it rains. Learn how you can ensure your sprinkler is watering efficiently here.
