Avoid unsightly staining from lawn irrigation sprinklers

Glass panels that are hit by lawn sprinklers can develop hard water stains, particularly at the bottom of the glass where the water pools and evaporates on the glass.

Hard water stains are caused when water with a high calcium carbonate content evaporates. The calcium remains behind, and is the cause of the white spots.

The longer the stains remain and build up on the glass, the harder they become to remove, and the more likely they are to begin to “etch” the glass. Once glass has been etched, it becomes much more difficult and costly to repair.

Often will see arc of where the irrigation spray constantly hits the glass and water spots dry. The surface will be rough. They are the white spots that display on glass and cannot be removed simply by cleaning the glass.
