Automation of your irrigation system has several advantages, first, you could
use less water and should save on you water bill, since you can program your
system to water at night, when winds are low, and less evaporation takes place.
Secondly, you lawn, plants, and shrubs benefit from a more regular watering
cycle. Water volume, and intervals are consistent, helping to ensure full
coverage to the areas that need the water. Finally, you can spend your time more
productively, on other tasks, than watering.
Depending on your irrigation needs, Sprinklers Plus will set up zones, which can
be turned on electrically through a timer. The number of zones depends on the
volume of water available. If, for example, your water supply is capable of
supplying 10 gallons per minute, then you could run 3 to 4 sprinkler heads at 3
gallons per minute. The number of zones required depends on the number of
sprinkler heads that can be supplied at the same time. We use quality electronic
valves, which have a manual bypass built in, this gives you years of service,
and the ability to water a zone manually, without having to disturb the
electronic timer settings. To protect the valves, Sprinklers Plus installs them
on a manifold, inside a rot resistant irrigation box. We also install a special
fitting that allow the entire irrigation system to be blown out in the fall, to
prevent the valves, irrigation lines, and sprinkler heads from freezing during
the winter.
