Simple answer, a boring video. Watch here.
The Longer Answer:
SprinklerDude’s journey began with a passion for irrigation and a desire to share knowledge and expertise with others. The idea behind SprinklerDude was to create a platform where people could learn about irrigation techniques, troubleshooting, and maintenance in an accessible and engaging way.
It all started several years ago when I, as an irrigation technician, realized the lack of comprehensive and easily accessible educational resources in the industry. I noticed that many professionals and DIY enthusiasts faced challenges when it came to understanding irrigation systems and effectively managing them.
To bridge this knowledge gap, I decided to leverage my experience and technical skills to create instructional videos. I began filming myself in the field, demonstrating various irrigation techniques, discussing common issues, and providing practical solutions. These videos were initially shared with a small group of colleagues and friends who found them immensely helpful.
Encouraged by the positive feedback and the desire to reach a wider audience, I decided to expand my efforts by sharing the videos on social media platforms. I adopted the persona of “SprinklerDude” to add a touch of relatability and a memorable brand identity to the content I was creating.
As I continued to post videos, the SprinklerDude brand gained traction and attracted a growing community of irrigation professionals, homeowners, and enthusiasts. The engagement and feedback from this community fueled my motivation to create more content and further develop the SprinklerDude platform.
Over time, SprinklerDude has evolved into a trusted source of irrigation knowledge, offering a range of resources such as video tutorials, blog articles, and live Q&A sessions. The goal remains to empower individuals with the skills and understanding they need to effectively manage their irrigation systems, conserve water, and enhance the health of their landscapes.
Today, SprinklerDude continues to grow, engaging with a diverse audience and collaborating with industry experts. It’s incredibly rewarding to witness the positive impact that SprinklerDude has had on individuals and the broader irrigation community.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to explore new avenues, expand partnerships, and continue finding innovative ways to educate and inspire others in the field of irrigation. SprinklerDude’s journey is a testament to the power of sharing knowledge and the collective desire to improve practices within the industry.

How are you (SprinklerDude) able to film and work in an 8 - 10 hour day?
Managing the filming and work responsibilities of SprinklerDude during an 8-10 hour day requires careful planning, time management, and a balance between the two activities. Here’s an expanded answer to address this question:
To ensure that I can film while still effectively performing my work duties, I prioritize and organize my schedule in a way that allows for both activities to coexist harmoniously. Here are some strategies I employ:
Preplanning and Scheduling: I create a detailed schedule that outlines my work tasks and identifies specific time slots for filming. This helps me allocate dedicated blocks of time for each activity and ensures that I have a clear plan for the day.
Efficient Time Management: During the workday, I focus on completing essential tasks efficiently. By optimizing my workflow and minimizing distractions, I can accomplish my work responsibilities within the allotted time frame.
Balancing Work and Filming: Depending on the nature of the irrigation work, I identify suitable moments to capture footage without compromising the quality or efficiency of the tasks at hand. This might involve filming certain steps or techniques during downtime or between specific work phases.
Multitasking Opportunities: In some instances, there are tasks or activities that allow me to simultaneously work and film. For example, if I’m performing a repetitive task that doesn’t require constant attention, I can set up a camera to record while I continue working.
Team Collaboration: When possible, I collaborate with colleagues or fellow technicians who can assist with filming or take over certain work responsibilities. This enables me to focus on capturing footage while ensuring that the work is still being effectively carried out.
Flexibility and Adaptability: I understand that unforeseen circumstances or unexpected challenges may arise during the day. In such cases, I remain flexible and adjust my filming plans accordingly, always prioritizing the completion of essential work tasks.
By implementing these strategies, I strive to maintain a balance between my work as an irrigation technician and my role as SprinklerDude, allowing me to film informative content while still fulfilling my professional obligations. It’s a careful juggling act that requires careful planning, effective time management, and adaptability to ensure the successful execution of both responsibilities.
