Essential Irrigation Valve Maintenance Checklist

Why Valve Maintenance Matters

Valves are critical control points in any irrigation system. Regular maintenance prevents leaks, ensures proper flow control, and extends system life.

Monthly Checks

• Visual inspection for leaks
• Check handle operation — full open to full close
• Inspect seals and O-rings
• Test check valve function

Seasonal Maintenance

• Replace worn EPDM or FPM seals
• Clean valve bodies of sediment
• Lubricate moving parts
• Test pressure relief valves
