MOST COMMON
QUESTIONS ASKED ABOUT IRRIGATION;
1. DOES AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM USE LESS WATER VS ME WATERING
BY HAND.
ANSWER; WHEN A IRRIGATION SYSTEM IS INSTALLED
PROPERLY WITH OVERLAPING COVERAGE AND MATCHED EVEN WATERING, AND MICROCLIMATIC ZONING, YES; A IRRIGATION SYSTEM WILL
BE MORE WATER CONSCIOUS AND MORE COST EFFECTIVE.
2. WILL MY YARD BE SEVERLY DUG UP;
ANSWER; MOST PROFESSIONAL INSTALLERS WILL USE A PIPE PULLER
OR VIBRATORY PLOW TO INSTALL PIPING, THIS MACHINE WILL MAKE A SLICE IN THE GROUND AS IT PULLS THE PIPE UNDERNEATH, AFTER THE
LINE IS ROLLED OVER AND RAKED THE LINE IS SLIGHTLY VISIBLE FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME (APPROX. A WEEK AND A HALF).
THE RESULT OF THE PULLING LINE GREATLY DEPENDS ON THE CONDITION
OF THE SUB SOIL, IF THE SUB SOIL IS ROCKY THE LINE WILL BE MOR VISIBLE AND NEED LONGER MENDING TIME. IF THE SUB SOIL IS MORE
LOAM THEN THE RESULTS WILL BE NEARLY UNDETECTABLE.
AS FAR A DIGGING , THE ONLY PLACES THE YARD WILL BE DUG
UP IS WHERE THE SPRINKLER HEADS ARE LOCATED, AND WHERE THE VALVE BOX IS BEING PLACED.
3. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST;
ANSWER; EVERY JOB IS DIFFERENT, MANY FACTORS ARE TAKEN INTO
CONSIDERATION WHEN A QUOTE IS BEING DONE. WATER PRESSURE IS A BIG FACTOR, PRESSURE WILL EFFECT THE AMOUNT OF ZONES YOU WILL
NEED.
SOIL CONDITION, GOOD SOIL WILL MEAN A QUICKER PACE FOR INSTALLERS,
ROUGH OR ROCKY SOIL WILL MEAN LONGER INSTALLATION PERIOD.
THE SIZE OF THE PROPERTY BEING WATERED, ARE PLANT MATERIAL
BEING WATERED, THIS WILL MEAN SEPERATE ZONES FOR LAWN AND PLANT MATERIAL.
THE INDOOR PLUMBING HAS A LOT TO DO WITH COST, IS THE WATERLINE
THAT IS AVAILABLE EASILY ACCESSIBLE, AND IS IT ADEQUATE IN SIZE.
THEN YOU HAVE COSTS OF PERMITS AND FEES.
THE TYPEOF CONTROLLER THAT IS CHOSEN EFFECTS COST .USUALLY
THE EASIER IT IS TO OPERATE THE MORE COSTLY TH CONTROLLER IS.
