The cost to have an irrigation system depends on a number of factors such as type and size of landscaping, number of zones needed, and which products are required. Active Turf Irrigation will always offer free estimates for sprinkler system installs. If you're interested in one, get in touch with us.

Most controllers have a dial with an "On/Off" or a "Run" position. Some controllers will have a switch instead of a dial. Usually it's fairly straightforward in just turning the dial or switch to the desired function. Turning the dial or switch will also not change any of the scheduled programming thats been saved.

Yes. Winterizing your irrigation system involves, first, closing the main water valve for your sprinkler system and, second, using a commercial sized air compressor to blow air through all of the irrigation pipes. This clears out all of the water sitting in the pipes. If the system is not winterized and temperature drops to freezing, you are very likely to have irrigation pipes burst. This can lead to thousands of dollars in repairs to get the irrigation system back to functioning.

There are many different controllers all with different programming instructions. Most controllers come with a one page "Quick Setup" instruction card. Following these instructions is usually fairly straightforward. If you need help, or would rather have one of our technicians come do this for you you can always give us a call at 604-929-6521 or email us at activeturf@activeturfirrigation.com.
