Local conditions
Wet winters, dry summers
The Fraser Valley gets most of its rain between fall and spring. July and August can go weeks without meaningful rain, and municipalities often limit lawn watering to certain days.
A system designed with separate zones for sun, shade, lawn and beds uses water where it's needed. A fall blowout clears the lines so freezing nights don't crack pipes and heads.

- Rain or soil sensor
- Spring start-up and fall blowout

- How it fits local watering rules
Watch for: A single zone covering both sunny lawn and shady beds. One will be over-watered and the other under-watered.

Irrigation questions
Do I need a fall blowout?
