Educational guides and field notes for homeowners, HOAs, and small commercial properties—focused on reliability, serviceability, and water discipline.
Service-first
We write from the field: what actually fails, what to check first, and what keeps repairs from repeating.
Clarity
Many upgrades are “service-scoped”. These posts explain what affects price and feasibility.
Follow-through
Better access, documentation, and standards reduce mid-season emergencies and diagnostics.
Snippet-targeted guide with sizing, placement, maintenance, and a comparison table + FAQ schema.
Read the guideHigh-CTR field notes linking algae season intake restriction to "mystery" low coverage and service calls.
Read the postService-first rationale: low-head drainage control, reliability, and when drip/subsurface is the better choice.
Read the postA service-first framework: pressure discipline, coverage discipline, scheduling discipline, and serviceability that reduces repeat failures.
Read the postField notes on turf rotors: repeatable tuning, slope-friendly behavior, and why pressure discipline matters.
Read the postService-first field notes: why master valves matter, how DV100 supports SRMS flow protection, and what we verify before installing one.
Read the postHigh source pressure, zone demand math, and why a unionized PRV can stop repeat failures and misting waste.
Read the postNot all valve boxes are equal. Why lids get buried, why access drives reliability, and how we locate valves/wiring and rebuild serviceable enclosures.
Read the postWhy buried splices corrode, how hub enclosures improve serviceability, and when we recommend an Alliance CS100 hub enclosure.
