Recommendations 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.

The first thing to ask yourself is what capacity of an irrigator you need. They are available in different sizes and strengths. Some are intended to water large fields such as play fields and parks while others are designed to operate at lower pressures to small water lawns. Large filed sprinklers will be more complex than smaller ones. For instance, oscillatory fan types are better for a larger field.

Water supply becomes the next thing to look at. You cannot set an irrigation system where there is no reliable water supply. It will be a waste of resources since the system will be underutilized. Likewise, if the water supply is limited, then it would be uneconomical to set a complex system that will not be able to be served with enough water for proper spray. The amount and pressure of water are important.

The process of installation should be suitable for the given design desired for that particular task. You cannot imagine a situation where you are not able to set up the system and have no help around. It may be quite a challenge. Some systems may require expertise which you must employ. These may include the big spray sprinklers and the ones using the automation. The underground system may be quiet challenging as well.

The other thing to look at is the type of soil in the lawn or the field. You need to have an expert check the soils and suggest the best design that will not promote soil erosion and encourage environmental degradation. Some soils may not need very frequent watering since they can retain water for long. In such cases, the automation may be set approximately or routine irrigation controlled.

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.

Finally, look through the warranties, after sales services that come with the installation. Determine the terms of warranties and who is responsible for what at what given duration. The process should also check on safety matters as well as a written contract that is binding just for safety in case of any problems.
