Based on the provided reference, turning on the irrigation system involves ensuring the pump is running and then performing specific checks. While the reference confirms the system is "On" and "running," it focuses on the steps that follow this initial state rather than describing the specific action taken to start the pump itself.
Steps After Turning the System On
According to the reference, once the irrigation system (powered by a dedicated well) is running, the next crucial steps are to verify its operation. The process described in the reference highlights post-startup checks as part of the overall procedure for activating the system for the season.
Here's what the reference indicates you should do after the system is "On":
- Go through all the zones: Systematically activate each irrigation zone.
- Ensure that all the heads are turning properly: Visually inspect the sprinkler heads in each zone to confirm they are rotating correctly and distributing water as intended.
This step is described as preparing the system to "operate for the summer season."
The "Final Step"
Interestingly, the reference specifically labels the action of going through the zones and checking the heads as:
"the final step in turning on the irrigation."
This suggests that, in the context of the process outlined in the reference, verifying the operation of each zone and sprinkler head is considered the completion or validation phase of the system startup.
In summary, while the reference confirms the system state as "On" and "running," it primarily details the necessary checks and verification steps that are performed immediately afterward and are considered the concluding part of the irrigation system turn-on process.
