Guidelines For Selecting Good Sprinkler Design

By Jason Bell


You may be faced with the challenge of finding a good irrigation system for your lawn or field. Could be you are wondering which factors to consider and techniques to apply. Here, you will get a good ride through the things to look for. Discussed are recommendations for selecting good sprinkler design for your needs. The points discussed will give insight on how to go about the process.

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 complexity of installation is of concern for prior preparations. The general idea is to ensure that you can source the necessary help in case you happen to have a simple system. Some may not need an expert while others will be best handled by a professional. Such cases could be underground setting and complex system setting that would even involve automation.

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.

It is very crucial to look at the budget too. Do not just go for a system without first budgeting for it. Prepare your budget well to allocate for water bills, maintenance costs and any other accrued expense in the process of buying till it reaches home. Allocate for installation costs and in case you are setting up a smart shower head, determine its costs and maintenance needs such as batteries.

The next step will be choosing a suitable installer to help you with the setting up. This is mainly for those systems that are complex and require quite a good deal of technical support. In this regard, you will have to seek recommendations from friends, family or neighbors on the suitable installer.

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.
