What a Tune-Up Covers

Everything Checked.

Everything Documented.

Most irrigation systems in Polk and Hillsborough County run on autopilot until something visibly fails. Annual maintenance catches failing heads, slow valve leaks, misaligned spray patterns, and programming errors before they become expensive — or before they trigger a Phase III compliance notice.

Full Zone Run and Observation

Every zone activated and observed at close range. Every head checked for coverage, arc, and spray pattern. Clogged nozzles cleaned or replaced. Tilted or sunken heads adjusted.

Controller Audit and SWFWMD Update

Current program compared against Phase III restrictions. Watering day, start times, and run duration updated to match your address's current schedule. Included at every visit.

Head Adjustment and Alignment

Heads checked for proper arc, radius, and elevation. Ground-shifted, mower-struck, or misaligned heads corrected to restore designed coverage.

Valve and Solenoid Spot-Check

Every valve tested for proper open and close response. Early solenoid wear identified before full failure.

Rain Sensor Test and Calibration

Sensor activated and tested. Sensitivity adjusted for current season. A non-functional sensor is a Phase III compliance issue — we verify yours every visit.

System Performance Report

You receive a written summary of every zone's condition, items repaired or adjusted, and any recommendations for future service. Documented and delivered on-site.

When to Schedule

Before Dry Season (November):
Program for winter watering needs and reduced rainfall. Adjust runtimes so the single Phase III day provides adequate moisture through the dry months.
Start of Summer (May):
Prepare for peak lawn stress and maximum system demand. Head coverage verified before temperatures peak.
After Major Storms :
Flooding and storm debris can shift heads and damage lateral lines without obvious visible signs.
When You Notice a Dry Spot :
The first visible sign often means weeks of underperformance. Early attention is a small service call; ignored, it becomes a dead zone repair.
When Restrictions Change:
Every SWFWMD phase change requires a controller update. We do this automatically at every visit.

Tune-Up Cost

A standard annual tune-up including all zones, head adjustment, SWFWMD controller update, and written system performance report starts with a free inspection. Exact pricing depends on system size and what is found.

What Maintenance Prevents

Small Issues That Become

Expensive Repairs

Head Coverage Loss

Heads that have settled or drifted produce dry strips and dead spots over time. A tune-up catches and corrects these before your lawn shows the damage.

Valve Wear

Solenoids and diaphragms wear gradually. Catching early-stage valve degradation is a modest repair. A fully failed valve on a stuck-open zone during Phase III is an emergency.

Controller Compliance Risk

A controller still running a Phase I or Phase II schedule is running your system outside current SWFWMD restrictions. A tune-up verifies and corrects this.

Efficiency Loss

The average Florida irrigation system loses measurable efficiency each year without professional attention. On a one-day-per-week Phase III schedule, every irrigation cycle has to count.

Rain Sensor Failure

A non-functional rain sensor allows the system to run during rainfall — a Phase III violation. We test yours at every visit.

Catch Issues Before Dry Season

Issues that seem minor in March become critical in June when your lawn depends entirely on its one permitted irrigation day per week.

Common Questions

Repair Questions

Answered

How often should I have my system tuned up?

Twice a year is ideal for Florida’s climate — once before dry season in November and once before summer peak demand in May. At minimum, an annual inspection catches failing components before they become larger repairs.

What is a system performance report?

A written summary of your system’s current condition — every zone’s performance, items adjusted or repaired, and any recommendations for future attention. You receive this at every Goterra maintenance visit.

Do you update my controller for SWFWMD restrictions at every visit?

Yes — always. We verify your watering day, start times, and run duration against current Phase III requirements at every maintenance visit. This is included in every service, no extra charge.

Can you do the tune-up and any repairs in the same visit?

Yes — in most cases. Our technicians carry an extensive parts inventory and complete repairs as part of the tune-up when issues are found. You approve any repair work before it begins.
