Upgrading Impact Heads to a More Reliable and Efficient Rotor type
Sprinkler technology has greatly improved in the past few years. Not
surprisingly some of the greatest advancements have been in in the sprinkler
heads themselves. No longer do you have to periodically clean dirt, or pull
roots from the canister to get the head to rotate. Closed-case gear driven
heads are more efficient, give you better coverage and require less pressure to operate.
Upgrade or Relocate
Controller
Many
irrigation controllers are installed in less than ideal locations, basement
closets or utility rooms can make it difficult to access the timer and make
periodic adjustments to start time or zone run time. In addition, the new
controllers
are easier to use and program. Some controllers even adjust the zone run time
and days to water based on your zip code, soil type, slope, solar radiation and
more. This will conserve water by preventing run off, keep your landscaping lush,
and save you money.
Install Rain Sensor
Nobody likes to see a sprinkler system watering while its raining! One
of the easiest ways to upgrade your sprinkler system and save money is to add an
automatic rain shut off device that will prevent the sprinklers from watering in
the rain.
Replace Old Solenoid
Valves
One
of the major components in a sprinkler system are the solenoid valves. Some of
the older valves, because of mineral buildup and diaphram wear can leak, robbing
pressure from all the other zones and wasting water and money.
Add Heads or Zones to your
existing sprinkler system
Often landscaping changes or the addition of a patio, deck or pool can cause the
sprinkler system to work less effectively. The addition of heads or even zones
can take care of this.
Add a Rid-O-Rust water
treatment system.
If
your well water has a high concentration of iron you probably have rust stains
on your pavement, landscaping and even the house. A Rid O' Rust system will treat
the water to prevent the staining.
Got Low pressure? Install a
Booster Pump
Most
people are unaware that there is a solution to low pressure. A booster pump will
not only increase the pressure in the sprinkler system but in your whole house
too!
