Homeowners new the metro Phoenix area might not realize the importance of checking your sprinkler heads once in a while. They easily get clogged with dirt, debris, whatever and can result in this.
It’s an oddity of the Arizona lifestyle that your neighbors are often not people you talk to frequently. People come home, pull in the garage, shut the door and go inside. Life in metro Phoenix is largely lived in our backyards, not the fronts. Your neighbors may not even know this is happening at your place.
So once in a while on a weekend or whenever you have time, run the irrigation/sprinkler/bubbler system through a full cycle and see whether you’re giving your lawn a nice misting or a flood.

Doesn’t this pool look a little TOO blue to you?
I just recently found out there’s such a thing as blue paint for plaster pools. It turns the pool into a shockingly bright baby blue.
In defense of this pool owner, I don’t know for a fact they painted it. It just caught my eye in the MLS because it’s the same shade of shocking blue Chris and I have seen lately in a few fix and flips in the under $150,000 price point.
Honestly, we walked around and around said pools, puzzling over why they were so blue. We figured it was one more thing to verify during the Due Diligence Period, until one of us found used paint cans stacked in the backyard. Sure enough, they were labeled for use on pools and had dried paint drips in the same shocking blue hue running down the sides of the cans.
Blue pool paint. Who’d a thunk it?
