Guidelines For Selecting Good Sprinkler Design

By Jason Bell


You may be having a lawn you want to water, and you are wondering what type of system to use for the task. You may be challenged by what choices to make in picking a suitable watering system. The discussion in the following few paragraphs will be giving you insights towards accomplishing that mission. Here are tips for selecting good sprinkler design for your lawn. The points highlighted will give a good guide.

Normally you will start by asking yourself which is the right capacity for my needs. Remember that the designs developed are of various capacities and each would serve a given purpose. The irrigation systems for large fields are quite complex and costly. They operate at high pressure than their counterparts used to water small pieces of land such as your home lawn. Your needs will direct to the right choice of equipment.

Water supply should be a concern before buying an irrigator. You may buy one that cannot be able to spray well because of the little water pressure from the source. First, there must be enough water to even think of setting the showering head. Some designs consume more water than others and thus the need to be prepared for the associated costs to be incurred in water usage.

The other important thing to give attention to is the process of installation. Some are quite complex especially those which are designed to water big areas. They are complex and may need expert assistance in setting them up. Likewise, there are those buried underground. These too are quite technical in their setting. Those which are automated will still need some technical job in their installation.

Soils types are also a major concern. You are supposed to protect the environment against any form of degradation, and thus it will be prudent to perform a survey of the type of soil in your place. Some are designed for specific soil types. Light soils would not require high-pressure water heads. Uncontrolled irrigation may lead to soil erosion and this can be offset through automation.

You also need to think about the budget. You have to allocate funds appropriately. This will mean that you put aside funds for the actual purchase, installation fees and any other associated costs that may come up with the new installation. Some of the automated systems may be quite expensive to install but fair in maintenance.

After having looked at all these factors, engage into the search for an installer. This should be a professional with a good reputation. Preferably, the contractor should also be having a plumbing expert in the team so that in case of any problems you can be sure it is well catered for. You can get recommendations from friends, neighbors, and families for a good installer.

The last steps will require you to revisit warranties for the service and equipment. Revise your contract and do not settle for anything less than a written agreement. It is safe, and terms stated there are binding. Ensure that all the necessary safety measures have been looked into and control practices set on for a proper maintenance program.
