Reminder to Adjust Your Sprinkler Timers & Lighting
Make Sure You’re Ready for Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time is upon us, and it’s the ideal time to refresh home systems that rely on timers and natural light cycles. Ensuring your sprinklers, landscape lighting and fountains are adjusted to the time change is essential to maintain efficiency and functionality.Adjusting Sprinkler Timers
- Why It’s Important: With the shift in daylight hours, running sprinklers too early can lead to either overwatering or watering during peak sunlight, which is less efficient and can increase evaporation.
- How to Adjust: Check your sprinkler system’s settings and shift watering times to better align with the new daylight schedule, typically scheduling them in the early morning or evening.
Resetting Landscape Lighting
- Impact on Aesthetic and Security: Outdoor lighting set to pre-Daylight Saving hours may not turn on or off at optimal times, reducing visibility and security.
- Steps to Update: Reprogram your landscape lighting timers to activate around sunset and switch off at sunrise or based on your lifestyle needs. This small tweak ensures your property remains well lit during the darker mornings and evenings.
Fountain Timer Adjustments
- Why It Matters for Energy Conservation: Adjusting fountain timers to match daylight changes can help in conserving water and electricity, particularly during high-demand hours.
- Quick Tip for Easy Reset: Simply set your fountain’s timer to start and end during hours you’re most likely to enjoy it, to keep it visually appealing and functional.
Taking these small but impactful steps will ensure your home systems continue running smoothly and efficiently as we shift into Daylight Saving Time. From sprinklers to lighting and beyond, this checklist can help you save energy and maintain a beautifully functioning outdoor space.
