Guidelines For Selecting Good Sprinkler Design

By Jason Bell


A beautiful lawn at your home will greatly improve your landscape appearance. The cost of maintaining that lawn and making it remain relatively green will include a good irrigation system. The choice of shower head will be affected by various factors. In the next few paragraphs are guidelines for selecting good sprinkler design that can cater for your needs at different levels.

The initial step is looking at the capacity of the irrigator. Different types are built with various capacities depending on the target area of spray. There are those which can water a large area such as a playing field or a park. The sprinklers used throws water at far places and operates under high pressure unlike those less for typical lawn sizes. The big ones may be quite complex with many parts.

You are also informed that you need to assess the reliability of water supply at our area of residence. If you happen to be in a residence where water cannot pump at high pressure, then it may need some reinforcement to water big pieces with using complex design sprinklers. Where the water supply is scarce will mean the system is underutilized especially one that is meant to irrigate big areas.

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.

The other step is looking for an approved installer of the system. The person should be a pro in the same to ensure correct connection. It is preferable that you can get to agree on a routine check and emergency consolations. All in all, ensure that you give a credible person the job.

The last step will be examining the warranties of the given system and its suitability for your needs. Investigate that all the necessary safety measures have been observed and your contract with the dealer is binding. This means it must be a written contact dictating terms of warranties and related equipment information.
